  1. I'm not sure if it will be mentioned but one of the up and coming street food communities is Forage S.F. (foragesf.com) They host an 'underground night farmer's market' once a month at SOMArts in San Francisco. The market features smaller upstart food vendors who would not otherwise be able to sell their food in events such as the S.f. street food festival. It is a great new movement where you can try things you would not be able to try at more established events. My favorite thing I have tried there is the Bahn Mi Burger (a new take on the Vietnamese sandwich), created by katie Kwan at kitchensidecar.com
