If your life were a movie with you as the star and Old World Food Truck as your co-star, you would read the menu for its Hanukkah Celebration Pop-Up Dinner, turn, look longingly into its dreamy headlights and say "You had me at Latke tasting".
The Old World Food Truck is throwing their 2nd Annual Hanukkah Pop-Up Dinner December 8 and 9, 2012 in the Inner Mission, San Francisco. There is no better way to start the holiday of The Festival of Lights than by enjoying an amazing meal prepared by Chef Kenny Hockert at San Francisco's Inner Mission coffee (and informal workspace) mecca, Coffee Bar.

With a menu "highlighting the holiday’s love affair with fried foods", there is no way this dinner can go wrong. All year long your taste buds "suffer" through burgers, spicy kung pao tofu, Whisky cocktails, countless glasses of California reds and it's time show them some real love - treat them to this Hanukkah feast.
Dear Reader, do not finish reading this post. Go directly to the Eventbrite page (tickets are $55.00 + a $4.02 Fee) and reserve your spots for Dec 8th or 9th because at this time only the 6:00 pm seating is still available. Then, come back here to read the rest of the post for more information.
A few quick notes: the menu is not Kosher, vegetarian options are available, a $15 wine pairing will be available for purchase at the event, find your Menorah, and check that you have enough Hanukkah candles. Last but not least, Hanukkah begins in the evening of Saturday, December 8, 2012, and ends in the evening of Sunday, December 16, 2012, in case you needed to mark your calendar.
