Join JBF Greens for our second-ever San Francisco event with a celebration of regional Gujarati Indian cuisine at Besharam within the Minnesota Street Project in San Francisco’s Dogpatch district.  
 
Roughly translated to mean “shameless” in Urdu, Besharam features chef/co-owner—and James Beard Award semifinalist—Heena Patel’s playful interpretation of the flavors from her childhood in Mumbai, India remixed with California ingredients. The Besharam name applies not only to chef Heena’s vision for the plate, but also in her efforts to create a “fear-free” culture within the kitchen—comprised mostly of first-generation immigrants like herself.  
 
For the occasion, chef Heena will create a vibrant, vegetarian, family-style menu inspired by the rich bounty of the Bay Area, as well as the traditional dishes and techniques she learned in her mother’s kitchen.
