Mission Mission

Elixir Cocktail Club will be pouring free absinthe tonight from 7-9pm. Sure, it’s low-proof stuff, but as the Myopenbar.com newsletter puts it:

Who buys low-proof absinthe? Not you tonight.

Mission Street Food returns this week, and this time they’re putting their twist on southern-style soul food, with the help of guest chef Tia Harrison. Menu includes: catfish, grits, Smoked Duck Beignets, BBQ and PBQ. Link.

Urgh, I haven’t eaten all day, and this Beer & Nosh post is making my stomach growl.

The best avocados I’ve ever had I had in Sayulita, Mexico. They were like big orbs of epicly flavorful green butter. Today, SFGate‘s gardening section put up an oddly readable question-and-answer piece about the ins and outs of growing avocados here in SF. Link.

I love my fortune, even if McSweeney’s did write it. Also, dinner was great. See you tomorrow.

Reader mcas did some digging, talked to a Katz Bagels night-shift bagel maker named Ray, and found that…

they are not closing, and not stopping selling bagels… they are just trying to go more late-night focused bc that’s where the money is.  the bagel alien is not coming back though and they couldn’t understand why i cared.

Sad! Thanks, mcas.

Update: jwz hips us to a pretty solid comment by Ciaran.

What’s Going on Here, Katz Bagels? on SFist.

Only in San Francisco says, “Only in San Francisco does a stranger care that you’re eating your vegetables,” but how do we know this isn’t the Mini Cooper of the head of an evil corporate farming entity, gloating that your taste for kale is keeping them in foreign automobiles? Link.

Brock just hipped us to this tragic scene, saying, “i am in the fetal position on the floor, crying over this one.” I know we’re all hoping it’s just going in for a tuneup (not that I’ve ever patronized this place or anything). Link.

But really, gosh, what a day for Mission signage.

Mission Signage

Plug1 was over on Belden Place and saw this sign on some establishment. He sent it over on the spot with the following accompanying text: “This can’t be right.”

Well, experts, what’s right?
