Photos: Kinfolk Brunch / San Francisco Recipe

A quick post of a handful of shots from the beautiful Kinfolk brunch in San Francisco on Saturday.

Photos: Kinfolk Brunch / San Francisco

I couldn't resist doing a quick post of photos I shot at the Kinfolk brunch this weekend. It was a family-style gathering at Heirloom Cafe in San Francisco, and it was just right. The sun was out, the food beautifully prepared, the company and conversation top-notch. The front door of the cafe was flung wide open and a fascinating mix of people walked through to sit down to a meal together. I left with a sense that I'd finally met a whole host of people I probably should have met years ago - people doing all sorts of interesting things, many/most of whom live walking distance from me. It was a good feeling.

I believe San Francisco was the third gathering in a twelve month series - Portland and Brooklyn were prior. Philadelphia and Toronto up next. Here's the page where you can watch for upcoming cities. You can also get information about the local people and businesses who came together to pull this off. I was thinking I would link to some of them here, but it might just be easier for you to click through the list on the Kinfolk site. For example, if you're interested in who did the lovely flowers, or the the letterpress menus, or, or, or...The little details were part of what made it so special. A big thank you to the Nathan and Julie for pulling together a wonderful room full of people. Also, I can't wait to see this photos this lovely lady was shooting. I'll link to them here when I see them. Here they are :)...

I'm in the process of writing up one of my favorite spring rhubarb recipes for you. It's pretty in the way so many rhubarb creations are, and the flavor profile is just off-beat enough that people light up when they have a taste. I'll try to get that up in the next couple of days. xo -h

Mej, I was thinking the same thing when I saw the photos (and I LOVE this blog btw). I checked out the Kinfolk site, and it's a lovely idea, but ithere were 95% photos of caucasian folk throughout the photo gallery. But I have to wonder if it's just the nature of this type of event and who the organizers are and what their reach is with the community - mostly hipsters/yuppies? On that note, as usual, lovely photos!

What a beautiful gathering! Your photos communicate such a beautiful mood...very soft and slow. I picked up a bunch of rhubarb at the farmers market this weekend and used half of it in a strawberry-rhubarb crisp. Looking forward to your recipe!

I love the faded warm charming familiar aura of the photos.

Christine @ Fresh Local and Best

I have been a longtime follower of this blog, but can't help being kind of creeped out that everyone in the photos is white... does that really represent your community? Is that the "fascinating mix of people" in San Francisco?

HS: Hey Mej - sorry if these five shots gave that impression (I was shooting with an old Polaroid Land camera so getting the light right was tricky). Correspondingly, your impression might just be based on the angle I was shooting from. I'm sure other people will post pictures that will show a wider range of the people in attendance.

Mej

Oh this looks like such a fun time!

Simply Life

That looks like such a lovely meal. I am eagerly awaiting your rhubarb recipes!

Sarah

Heirloom Cafe looks incredibly charming. I'm sure it was a cozy good time. Looking forward to your rhubarb recipe.

Denise | Chez Danisse

What a great dinner and meeting people who live within walking distance that you may not have met otherwise (but would have loved to meet sooner)...that's always such a gift!

Averie @ Averie Cooks

Love this kind of gathering - looks like a big family. Lovely photos, Heidi.
