Mission Dolores Photo Walk & Japanese Cooking Culture @ Omnivore Books

The people asked and we delivered. Mission Dolores stroll and bites, photo walk down Church Street, and here’s the twist: Japanese clay pot wisdom from an NYTimes-featured author.

You know the drill. Bring a camera if you have one, dress warm, come hungry.

The route:
1. Mission Dolores Park (meet at 5:30 PM)
2. Grab small bites down 18th Street along the park side
3. Walk and shoot Church Street on the way
4. End at Omnivore Books for Naoko Takei Moore's author talk (6:30 PM)

Omnivore is a food-only bookstore. Hidden gem for culinary nerds.

Who's Naoko? Acclaimed expert in donabe (Japanese clay pot cooking), bestselling cookbook author, and someone who treats cooking like a way of life. She's legit - NYT, LA Times, owns TOIRO in West Hollywood. The talk is on her new book Simply Donabe - one-pot Japanese dishes you can actually make at home.

All ages, all photography levels, all curiosity levels welcome. Plan subject to change if we feel like it.

See you there.
