Mission Mission

Rather than keeping their multi-award-winning formula all to themselves, Katherine and Natalie have opted to share it with us all, via a feature on Chow. Win! It looks like exceptionally hard work, but it’s definitely worth it because when you’re done you get to eat MAC & CHEESE PIES. Link.

Schlomo today posted a quick video depicting the Banh Mi Cart staff hard at work perfecting their sandwich recipes. Their secret? They went to Saigon Sandwich and got some of the real thing to study. Link.

Well, it’s too late now, but today’s special at Mission Burger was bacon-fried chicken. So, uh, keep in mind they have specials. Like bacon-fried chicken.

Aaron Mayfield-Sunshine texted me this question, as well as the answer early yesterday evening: “[I]t’d be pink, there’d be a pickled carrot, the bottle would be made of lace.” Sold!

This thing is badass! Buy some Banh Mi! (Schlomo promises they won’t be $7!)

Eater SF has the hard-hitting scoop.

Also, it appears Pi Bar is destined to never open.  ’Shame.

UPDATE: Kevin lost his shit because Burrito Justice, Eater, SFist, Vegansaurus, us and maybe some others have done multiple posts on a restaurant that hasn’t opened yet, and for some reason he took it out on Eater, a blog devoted in part to obsessing about restaurants that haven’t opened yet — and a blog that Kevin and I both read every day because it rules.

To those that despise Kevin, I apologize for unleashing him on the world.

To those that love Kevin, he’s not actually fired, don’t worry.

To Kevin, go fuck yourself.

If the banh mi cost a penny over $2.50, they better be better than Saigon Sandwich (impossible!) or come with a ride in the Cushman:

Chow and Beer & Nosh today published their accounts of Sunday’s now-mildly-controversial Mac Battle Royale (w/ Cheese). Chow’s here. B&N’s here. Lots of gorgeous photos in each.

Gravel & Gold these days is doing some kind of bean lunch every Wednesday with special guest chefs and fancy desserts. Bring your own bowl. Complete details here.

And this location has its own beer. I’ll never have to visit the Lower Haight ever again. Grub Street has the scoop.

(Thanks, Brittney!)
