Thursday
1 New Perk
PERK

1 New Perk

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.

Friday
Pizza Party at Open Studios
PIE SQUARED

Pizza Party at Open Studios

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.

Saturday
Making Sausage with Bruce Aidells
LINKED IN

Making Sausage with Bruce Aidells

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.

Apr 10, noon, $90, Lambert Bridge, 4085 W Dry Creek Rd, Healdsburg, 707-431-4670

Sunday

Monday
Super Duper Burger Opens in the Castro
GRAND OPENING

Super Duper Burger Opens in the Castro

With In-and-Out comparisons swirling, you're fully ready for the mayhem when Super Duper opens on Monday. But with rumors of a burger topped with housemade bacon from sister outpost Starbelly, navigating the mayhem will be justly rewarded.

Opening Apr 12, 11am-11pm, Super Duper Burger, 2304 Market St (at 16th), 415-558-8123

Wednesday
Tag-Team Hot Dog Happy Hour
DOUBLING DOWN

Tag-Team Hot Dog Happy Hour

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
