Eat Real Festival 2017

I helped with the set up again this year for the Eat Real Festival at Oakland's Jack London Square. All the volunteers get an apron to wear as a uniform.

Then I went back on Friday for a late lunch. Jack London Square is easy to get to. It's a short (15 minute) walk from Oakland's 12th Street BART Station. There's also a free shuttle bus that runs about every 15 minutes. I usually walk to the square and take the bus back.

After walking the whole festival and tasting a few samples, I decided on fried catfish from the Roderick's food truck. All their offerings look delicious, but catfish isn't offered very often so I didn't even think about getting anything else.

You can't miss the bright red truck

The Festival runs through the weekend and there will be even more to choose from on Saturday and Sunday.
