Food for Thought No. 1

A series of in-depth talks with people who run farms, restaurants, breweries and bars around California and who are shaking up the way we eat and drink. This Thursday, Andrea Lepore of Hot Italian and N’Gina and Ian Kavookjian of South (pictured) will share how they got started, what food means to them and how they’re branching out of restaurants. Lepore and the Kavookjians are both opening separate Jewish delis later this year. Lepore also heads a business incubator called the Food Factory, and the Kavookjians run the Quinn vintage retail shop on T Street. 1425 24th Street, www.californiagroundbreakers.org.
