Eat My Words was an event featuring multiple tastings of art, stories, film, and food. On the menu were the readings by Writers Grotto authors Laura Fraser, Anne Zimmerman, Connie Hale, and Frank Norris (McTeague, read by John Engell), accompanied by new films by JD Beltran, a cooking performance by Justin Hoover and Chris Treggiari, and a tasting menu with the food referenced by the writers cooked and served to the audience during their readings. Courses included scrambled eggs with tabasco, scones with butter and jam, fried Spam, and selections from the gluttonous McTeague wedding banquet. This sensory feast occurred at the McLoughlin Gallery at 49 Geary Street in San Francisco.
