This week's perk puts you on a private jet to Aspen, with a hotel room, a new wardrobe and four days of
feasting waiting for you at the other end. All you need is a little luck—and a ski vest wouldn't hurt.
You're used to seeing them in bars like Bloodhound or the Homestead, but tonight the Pizza Politana crew
will be outside of ARC Gallery's Open Studios artists preview, firing up their pies (think: bacon and smoked
mozz, as well as the artisan pepperoni). Consider it art in the making.
Head up to Sonoma and learn from the guy who was making artisan sausage before we heard about artisan
sausage. Bruce, of Bruce Aidells Sausage Co., will be on hand, guiding you through making your own lamb,
wild boar and pork links. And the folks from Lambert Bridge will make sure your wine glass doesn't go empty.

Two is generally better than one, and that goes double when a chef and bartender team up to pair hot dogs
and cocktails. Get Absinthe's Guinness mustard-topped dog with a Sea Bean Gimlet, then a grilled
lamb dog and a brandy cocktail from Romolo, then Da Beef's Chicago dog with a bourbon chaser... The list
goes on, but you get the picture.

Apr 14, 6-8pm, $15, Ferry Building, 101 The Embarcadero
