Your guide to the tastiest foodie happenings going down this week. Bon appetit!



Powder Shaved Snow Opens

Taiwanese powder is quickly becoming the trendy new dessert around San Francisco. A delicious cross between ice cream and shaved ice, the pop-up-turned-brick-and-mortar Powder takes it one step further by using top-notch ingredients such as Straus Family Creamery and organic, locally sourced produce to produce flavors like black sesame, horchata, and matcha green tea. Cool down with this creamy, delicate and airy dessert at the opening on Friday, September 23rd. // Open daily, 260 Divisadero (NoPa), powdershavedsnow.com


Minnie Bell's Soul Movement at Bon Marche

Specialities include a 'soul sandwich' stuffed with buttermilk and hot sauce-brined rosemary fried chicken or smothered tri-tip. // Open Mon.-Wed., 11am-2pm, 1355 Market St #120 (Mid-Market), minniebellssoul.com
