We went to Off the Grid at Fort Mason on Friday night with the Masayas.  It’s basically a circle of street trucks gated off so they can serve alcohol too.  When we got there it was a madhouse.  It started at 5 but we didn’t get there until around 8.  We divided and conquered and got to try a bunch of stuff.

I snagged some pork satay from Sataysfied while Jes got empanadas from El Porteno.  Victor got us beer and wine while Susie stood in line for Senor Sisig tacos.  We also got to try the pork and chive dumplings from Happy Dumplings and masaman curry over tortillas from Zombie Curry.  For a warm sunny day, it really sucked once the sun went down.  It was as if the sun took off and opened the window wide open for the wind to blow you right off your chair.  All the food we had was tasty and we’ll probably be back but I think we’ll have a better plan.

Here are tips for next time:

1. bring your own beverages
2. divide and conquer just like we did this time
3. get there before 7 (or at least before the sun goes down)
4. take a cab or public transportation (so lucky that we did)
5. all trucks are cash only
6. bring a sweatshirt ‘cuz SF weather is really unpredictable
