2017 Writing For Change Conference Banquet at Gourmet Carousel

San Francisco Writers Conference board member Harvey Pawl continued his tradition of treating the Writing for Change speakers and volunteers to a Chinese banquet at Gourmet Carousel on the corner of Pine and Franklin. Several attendees also joined us, for a very reasonable fee.

We started our meal with Egg Flower Soup and Scallion Pancakes.

The proprietress told us she has only two more years on her lease, so if you want to experience this restaurant, don't procrastinate!
