FOOD FESTS — CultureMap profiles some of the chefs who are participating in Saturday's Wine & Swine event at Ceres Park Ranch. The pork-centric festival will feature offerings from the likes of Aaron Franklin of Franklin Barbecue, Rene Ortiz of Cochi Superstar, and Tatsu Aikawa of Ramen Tatsu-Ya. Pastry chef Erica Waksmunski of Congress says she chose to serve up donuts because, "Who doesn't want warm, fried food when you are eating pork?" [CultureMap]
