The Culinary Historians of San Diego present “Food on the Move in the American West,” featuring Richard Foss, at 10:30 am November 16, 2019, in the Neil Morgan Auditorium of the San Diego Central Library, 330 Park Boulevard, San Diego. The event is free and open to the public. A tasting will follow the presentation.

Foss will describe how horse-drawn wagons delivering sandwiches, tamales, and refreshments to 19th Century night workers and bar denizens evolved into much more, reflecting the various cultures of the cities they served and eventually becoming business empires for ambitious chefs with future restaurants in mind.
