Are you sitting down? Good. Because the following news might put you in a preemptive sugar coma. 

This weekend, on Sunday, October 2, Jilli’s teaming up with two champs of the San Francisco underground food world to deliver the first in a series of collaborative dessert pop-up events. Street Sweets will appear somewhere in the Lower Haight (exact location to be announced the day before the event) from 1pm until 6pm, or until we sell out, and will be comprised of:

• Jilli: those whom you clearly know and love and stomach grumble over
  
• Nosh This: chocolatier and Bacon Crack purveyor.
  
• Eat the Love: the baking prowess behind acclaimed Bay Area dessert blog.

All of us at Street Sweets are extremely excited about this new sugar-coated endeavor - as far as we know, it's kind in the Bay Area. For now, we're keeping the location a secret, so sign up on our website or in the form below for the location alert that will be sent out Saturday, grab a spoon, and help make our inaugural event a success by letting us thoroughly work your pancreas.

Jilli will be debuting a new, seasonal concoction as well as serving up a handful of successful sundae staples; Nosh This will be busy doing what he continuously does throughout the Bay Area - redefining what people know as “damn good chocolate”; and Eat The Love is preparing baked goods on near-illegally good quality.

And together we’re readying a combined dessert dish that will launch you straight to sugarhigh heaven. 

See you there on Sunday!

It's been close to a month since Jilli's last appearance. While this hiatus has no doubt led to massive public unrest and constant crying and hand-wringing by the weakest among us, we have some wonderful news. 

Jilli will be returning in full force this upcoming Tuesday, March 15th for a pop up restaurant at The Corner in the Mission! We'll be offering deserts to be paired with the culinary fixin's of @PizzaHacker and @SoulCocina. 

If you haven't tasted the near-illegal goodness that these two gods-among-men have to offer, dare we say you are sorely missing out. Pizza pies prepared in a converted Weber grill using a Tartine recipe-based dough and adorned with the finest cheeses, meats, and plants, all fixed by man assisted only by two burned oven mitts and a headlamp? Yes please. An assortment of exquisitely prepared dishes based around the best local ingredients, fresh from the mind of one of the Bay Area's most celebrated itinerant chefs? Omnomnom. 

Jilli will be debuting a new creation, one that we are super excited about. Behold: Red Beet and Guinness Chocolate Cake Ice Cream. That is, rich red beet ice cream with Guinness stout chocolate cake crumbled and mixed throughout. We'll be making it into a sundae, topped with our butter chocolate hot fudge and garnished with crispy beet chips. Your mind and palate? Both blown. 

Now for the details:

Who: @JilliIceCream, @PizzaHacker, @SoulCocina

Next Up: Can't make it this Tuesday? We'll be serving up our wares at the next Forage SF underground market! This time it's at Public Works and goes until 2 am. That's right, 2 am. And with live music playing until close, what better way to cool down than a delicious sarsaparilla float?
