1 good reason to go to '18 Reasons'

The nonprofit "18 Reasons" will host a cookbook swap on Oct. 22. Included will be a memorial service for Gourmet Magazine, which is ceasing publication after nearly seven decades.

The festivities will run 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at 18 Reasons, 593 Guerrero St., at 18th Street, in San Francisco's Mission District. Read more here.

A tip of the toque to friend and fellow foodie Susan Bullen for pointing out this event to me.
