The weekend is betting on itself.
SAKE IT TO ME
Raw Sake and Grilled Meats
Head over to Nombe tonight to kick off their inaugural sake and izakaya dinner. Start with four tastes of
different zingy raw (unpasteurized) sake known as namazake. Pair them with a little halibut and black
truffle soup, asparagus tempura and lamb belly. And if the first four sakes aren't enough, they'll have
another flight at the ready. Because you can have cooked sake tomorrow.

RAISING THE ROOF
Cocktails at SFMOMA's Rooftop Garden
The SFMOMA officially joined the Thursday-night-at-the-museum scene, which means tonight you can fill up on
coffee-inspired charcuterie and meat-inspired desserts from Bi-Rite, Bar Tartine and Blue Bottle Coffee at
the rooftop garden. Then arm yourself with a few cocktails and explore the galleries. We think Picasso would
approve.

TACO MADNESS
March Madness at the Taco Shop
Nick is opening his doors at 9am tomorrow, tuning all 10 big-screen, high-def TVs to basketball and dishing
out huge breakfast burritos like the chorizo/bacon/egg La Bomba. There'll be beer-by-the-bucket
specials—and, if you stay late enough, dollar tacos and 50-cent margaritas will also be in your future.
Odds are that won't be a problem.

COCOA PUFFS
Chocolate Body Frosting
Pretty much anything even tangentially related to the cocoa bean will be here at this eight-hour chocolate
bomb of an event. We're talking 50,000 square feet of cocoa, including a live body frosting demo—no word
on whether it's interactive.

- Mar 20, 10am-6pm, $25, Fort Mason Center, Buchanan and Marina Blvd, 415-441-3400, tickets here
HE-BREWING
Jewish Soul Food and Beer
Check out this extreme, nontraditional, Jewish-inspired beer dinner with Shmaltz Brewing's He-Brew. Expect
Pastrami on Rye Sliders, bacon-wrapped sweetbreads and Amber Ale Braised Ribs from the a
la carte menu. Yes, we know bacon's not kosher, but we're not going to say anything...
