Just because this seems appropriate for here …

San Francisco’s Soma StrEat Food Park will once again host a weekend dedicated to the purple yam, ube. The Filipino food staple has been growing in popularity over the past few years and will be featured ice creams, pizza, and much more at this festival.

The Bay’s best food vendors will be serving up ube specials from 11 AM - 4 PM on Saturday August 24th & Sunday August 25th and DJs will provide a soundtrack of Bay Area-centric hits. We already mentioned the ube ice cream & ube-crusted pizzas, but there will also be ube macaroons, ube rice krispies, ube cupcake flans and much more.

The last couple years at work I’ve organized a bake sale during the Employee Giving Program and a Filipino woman in our unit always donates this ube cheesecake that she makes that is gorgeous and tasty and quite a good money maker.

- @mml666 @therealjrn I thought it was YouBay. Kind of like a live DIY version of eBay
