July SFUSD mixer at Tiger! Tiger!

Tiger! Tiger! hosted SFUSD's July mixer and what a mix of sights, smells, and sounds it was! The nearly year-old venue provided the perfect atmosphere for chatting about food and drink with long communal tables and benches, high ceilings strewn with bicycles and art, and an open kitchen where foodies with craft beer in hand could watch the staff create amazing dishes using scores of local produce, meats, cheeses, and seafood. Check out the photos for a glance of the roaring good time!
