Food
It’s almost Restaurant Week, aka the Most Wonderful Time of the Year for those of us whose appetites outmatch our salaries. In addition to stuffing my gullet with all kinds of bargain-priced deliciousness, I’m excited for the Food & Beverage History Panel Discussion, which goes down January 18 at 3 p.m. at City Hall and will feature various local luminaries discussing the past and future of Oakland’s food and beverage industry. You need to RSVP, so get on it. — Ellen Cushing
