Paolo Bicchieri, Lucie Pereira, and Kevin Dublin are reviving Kitchen Table in San Francisco as an event series that brings poets, food journalists, and independent foodmakers together. The gatherings emphasize food, language, and food-focused journalism with an upbeat, casual ambience and conversations about Bay Area change and gentrification. Bicchieri, who works as Eater's audience editor, will lead a six-week political food workshop beginning October 20 for all skill levels. Each session will reserve time for composing and Q&A, cover themes such as media literacy and generative AI, and include guest lecturers. Events will be held at York Street Collective’s Corner Store residency, 1100 Valencia.
Our tagline is 'food, writing, and food writing,' The energy is very upbeat [and has] a casual ambience, with a good amount of conversation regarding the changing nature of the Bay Area. We've had the San Francisco poet laureate [Tongo Eisen-Martin] talking about gentrification and how restaurants do and don't play into that. And then we have award-winning journalists who are talking about how writing is an important form of archiving the changing political landscape of San Francisco.
It's really trying to get folks who are interested in political change for issues they care about, A good amount of each class will be set aside just for writing time and Q&A. Because I think a lot of people just have questions of how to get started and how to pitch. Each week, we'll have themes like media literacy or generative AI and how that's impacting writing, and we'll have guest lecturers.
