As part of San Antonio Food Bank Restaurant Weeks, Alamo Heights gem Wild Barley and Chef Geronimo Lopez, the Vice President of Culinary Operations of the San Antonio Food Bank, are joining forces to host a one-day-only food festival pop-up on June 16 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
The event will take place at Wild Barley, located at 8403 Broadway, San Antonio, TX 78209. Tickets are $50 per person and include chef-crafted bites from six unique stations, along with two drink tickets redeemable for any Wild Barley house-brewed beer.
At five of the six stations, Chef Geronimo will highlight freshly harvested produce from the Food Bank's Urban Farm, bringing a true farm-to-table experience directly to the community.
As we planned the second annual San Antonio Food Bank Restaurant Weeks, we knew we wanted to raise the bar. At Wild Barley, we're passionate about building community, and this event is an opportunity to bring people together while supporting a cause that creates meaningful impact for families across San Antonio.
Marc Fogelsong, co-owner and general manager of Wild Barley Kitchen & Brewery
Joining the initiative includes James Beard Award semifinalist Chef Fransico Estrada of Naco Mexican Eatery.
Proceeds from the benefit food festival will directly support the San Antonio Food Bank's Summer Meals for Kids Program, which helps provide nutritious meals to children throughout the summer months when school is out of session.
The event serves as an extension of San Antonio Food Bank Restaurant Weeks, the annual dining initiative that unites local restaurants in the fight against childhood hunger while showcasing the city's vibrant culinary community.
Tickets are available now and can be purchased HERE. Guests are encouraged to secure their tickets early, as space is limited.
