The second annual Bay Area Science Festival is helping people take a bite out of science – literally – by bringing it out of the lab and into the kitchen. Enjoy 70-plus culinary and mixology-focused events throughout the 10-day festival from Santa Rosa to San Jose.
The most notable of these is TV personality and celebrity chef Alton Brown’s “Ten Things About Food I Feel Pretty Sure About” presentation showcasing the laboratories that exist within our own kitchens. Get tickets for that here. October 27 at 7pm @ The Castro Theatre, 429 Castro, SF | $35
Also, Commonwealth Club’s INFORUM series will be mixing things up by showcasing the chemistry of cocktails with “The Science of Distilling” where Bay Area mixologists will entertain cocktail enthusiasts thirsty for an outside-of-the-test-tube approach to cocktails. Drinks will be served by robot-barkeeps called “barbots”. Get those tickets here. Tuesday, October 30 from 6:30-9pm @ 111 Minna, SF | $25 members/$40 non-members
The Bay Area Science Festival starts Thursday, October 25 and ends on Saturday, November 3. For a complete schedule, visit this link.
