Note: The 2010 scavenger hunt is over (a concluding post will come soon) and we got first place out of 121 teams! This is a series explaining the background and thinking of our missions of the SF Street Food Scavenger Hunt 2010<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Mission: First, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve got find him, and though he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not French he often rocks the toque. He\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s slinging freedom pudding, and he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d love to hear about it. Grab your best judges (Paula was always our favorite) and go French Idol on the Freedom Pudding man. Extra points if part (or all) of your song honors the Francophone tradition. Take a video of your performance!<\/b> <\/p>\n

Last year, we had done the rap video<\/a>…and so it was clear that we could do this one quite easily. Now a song perhaps in French?<\/p>\n

The song in French that came to mind was Foux Da Fa Fa from the Flight of the Conchords<\/a>. And American Idol? That would certainly lend itself best to the American Idol parody from MadTV<\/a>. Ok, so done. But how would we execute it?<\/p>\n

Last year, I had fallen flat on my face for not being able to create a great video. This time, I wrote a script and got people involved. We planned every step with costume changes studying the shots. Cynthia carefully organized the video….and so on a Sunday (after recording the creme brulee cart bit at Off the Grid on a Friday), we did it.<\/p>\n

Some highlights:<\/p>\n

  • One bike from me, one bike from Ta-ching\u00e2\u20ac\u201dthat one that I wasn’t exactly super comfortable to ride in<\/li>\n
  • Chris not being able to shave off his mustache for two days and having tons of people giving him weird looks<\/li>\n
  • Multiple wardrobe changes courtesy of my huge t-shirt collection<\/li>\n
  • The pink flower hat that was gotten for FREE from a nearby garage sale on early Sunday<\/li>\n
  • The run to Cala Foods for the grocery cart scene<\/li>\n
  • Nobody harassing us at Cala Foods about buying things<\/li>\n
  • Multiple baguettes purchased<\/li>\n
  • My inability to say “Monsieur”<\/li>\n
  • Chris completely forgetting his British accent<\/li>\n
  • Cynthia’s great ability to walk backwards while filming\u00e2\u20ac\u201dshe claims that it was due to marching band in high school<\/li>\n
  • The chaos with iMovie that caused over 3 hours of troubleshooting on a LATE Wednesday evening<\/li>\n
