Om, did anyone say “Weird Fish on the Go”

Makes its first appearance in San Francisco since I had it roughly chained to a meter. I will be driving this taco bike up and down 18th street, serving fish, yam, and seitan tacos.

The bike was imagined and envisioned as a means to meet and introduce our food to neighbors. The schedule will be posted via Twitter you can follow here.

The Bike was crafted and created by artist/Engineer Todd Barricklow, we met and befriended for the love of bikes during the 2nd annual Hand Car Regatta last year.

I know it has been a while, but I wanted to invite all of you to the 3rd anniversary celebration of my little restaurant in the mission. I would like you and your family, friends, date, whatever (by yo self) to stop by on Sunday November 1st and have a quick drink, meal, anything. Just want to connect and enjoy as much time as you have. I will have a few tables set up to come in and drink and or eat with me that evening. You are all special people, and it would be great to see everyone.

So bring the noise, Romanowski will be spinning his usual rare groves, and we may possibly break up the place(dancing) after the kitchen closes at 10pm.

Thank you for being in my life.

TIME: Sunday November 1st anytime after 5pm-???

Taco Bike & the Ice Cream Stand

Cioa,

My friend Brion Nuda Rosch and I are doing food carts this summer. I would invite you to respond on what you think about mobile food? Can we argue both sides? I like the idea of good food being served free of walls. Just ss long as the cart is sanitary, So what do you think?

Brion Nuda Rosch ice cream cart

Will be at Southern Exposure from September 18th through October 11th…

THE PORTABLE ICE CREAM STAND

“Part art-object, part functioning ice cream stand, The Portable Ice Cream Stand is a nomadic food stand and social gathering assembled by visiting artists serving sweet refreshments at local functions, playgrounds, campsites, laundry mats, and book stores.”

This is my new proposed Taco Bike. I am planning to ride from 18th and Mission to 18th and Castro. Saturday and Sunday for now. Wave if you see me, and pick up a freshly made fish or homemade seasoned seitan taco. Should be great.

Thanks for checking out the Fish, your support and generosity is moving and inspiring. Ciao
