Southern Cuisine in Northern California


While Northern California might be known for its burgers and cantina-style Mexican food, be careful not to pigeonhole us! Marin County is evolving, including its local businesses and the palettes of its residents.

San Rafael and its surrounding areas are slowly becoming a culturally diverse center, and in the coming months, the area will have a new addition that feature Southern regional cuisines from around the country.

In October, Arthur Chang and Rachel Hundley will be taking iconic Southern cuisine opening “Drums & Crumbs,” a fried chicken specialty pop-up restaurant in the cafĂ© at the Renaissance Center Marin in downtown San Rafael. From Inside Scoop SF:

“Due date for the pop-up is October 1, with the food truck coming online (on wheels?) later this fall, secured with funds raised by a just-completed Kickstarter campaign. Currently, Drums & Crumbs is catering and doing events, like at the recent Broadway Under the Stars concert series in Jack London State Park, and this past weekend’s Taste of Sonoma in Healdsburg.”

The diverse cuisine of San Rafael isn’t anything new—West Brooklyn Pizza has been in business since 1985, opened by a native New Yorker. And their East Coast-style pizza has been a big hit in Marin County for years.

Marin is already a great place to do business--probably because all you need to succeed is a fresh idea that embraces the diverse tastes of its residents.
