Friday Food Trip

Calling all foodies out there! If you're not the party goer type or tired of the club scene, mark one of your Fridays for Off the Grid!

Typical Friday @ Fort Mason Center 

swarming with food lovers

The Makings of OtG What began with the simple idea of creating an "asian night market," Off the Grid (OtG) has been successful at bringing street food vendors and small local businesses together to foster a shared food experience in urban communities. To date, Off the Grid has 15 weekly markets in operation around the greater Bay Area, wherein over 100 vendors participate weekly in their respective food trucks and tents. Off the Grid has been a household name with the popularity it gained among teens and adults alike.

Locations
People would usually flock to the weekly markets for their local gourmet favorites at Vallejo & Front, Hayward, Civic Center, UN Plaza, 5M at Fifth and Minna, Upper Haight, North Berkeley,  Southside Berkeley on Telegraph, Alameda and Larkspur at certain hours. Usually 11am-3pm or 5-9pm. But perhaps the biggest food bazaar they hold would have to be the one at Fort Mason Center, which is open to all every Fridays from 5pm-10pm. Perfect for dinner or food cravings you have in general.

 Food trucks, tents and long lines

Price

You don't need to bring a wad of cash but normally your $20 is enough to stuff you to your heart's or in this case, tummy's desire. There's lots and lots of food to last you for the night or probably until the next day! It has just about everything you're looking for. Take your pick from Vietnamese, Peruvian, Indian, Yucatecan, Filipino, Mexican,  Thai, Korean, Japanese or Asian fusion offerings. 

 Try Mochimisu and the Kamikazee fries @ Koja Kitchen; elotes seasoned with Sriracha, cheese and sour cream @ Alicia's; and the Si Por Favor from the 

Creme Brulee Cart

It would feel like you've gone to a buffet, only street food style, because you're basically in food haven. Empanadas, musubis, sliders, rice balls, sisig, tacos, tamales, banh mis, cupcakes, burgers, noodles, cream puffs, dumplings, kettle corn, bao buns, etc. No doubt you'll be having food coma after visiting OtG on a Friday night!

Might as well try the spam musubi @ Gohan's Rice Creations too; empanada from 

El Porteno, fish tacos from Taco Guys and the kimchi rice @ Bombzies

I'd say screw your diet for a day and spend your Friday night with friends, co-workers or family
