SF Chefs 2011
 
Friday-Sunday, Various Locations, San Francisco
 
The upscale mega-foodfest SF Chefs has been going all week but things really ramp up this weekend. Events include panel discussions with food industry veterans, tastings of pork and gin, and boozy late-night after-parties. Events culminate with a grand tasting on Sunday afternoon in Union Square. Full schedule of events here. 

Azalina Cooking Class
 
Saturday, 2-4 pm, Macy’s Union Square, O’Farrell, San Francisco

Sure, living in the Bay Area means you can sign up for pricey, top-shelf cooking classes with innovators like Elizabeth Falkner and Thomas McNaughton, but there are other options. We think classes like this Saturday’s, with Malaysian-born spice innovator Azalina, provide equally amazing opportunities to pick up unusual kitchen skills. Plus the ever-affordable $20 ticket price goes to support La Cocina. Buy tickets here. 

Wine and Grilled Cheese
 
Sunday, 3-6 pm, Vintage Berkeley Wine Shop, 2113 Vine, Berkeley

It’s a day of unusual wine and cheese pairings at the Vintage Berkeley Wine Shop, as Kermit Lynch’s Rosé wines will be paired with, dare-we-say “artisanal” grilled cheese sandwiches from American Grilled Cheese Kitchen. Plus, there will be a rockin’ playlist of music inspired by Outside Lands (wonder where they got that idea?) More information here.
