Mission Mission

I’m not usually one to take pictures of my food, but I was a little drunk and a lot enjoying my dinner. I highly recommend the corn dog, which is made with some kind of really fancy sausage and comes with a spicy-creamy dipping sauce.

And all that talk of that it was problematic that they don’t have fries? They have fries — and they are bangin’:

Whether you’re a bowler or not, go eat these things.

(Oh and it looks like they’re gonna start a brunch program this weekend. More on that soon.)

As we reported back in December, Rite Spot has been shut up since November. That’s a long time, man. But apparently they’re gonna reopen soonish. An Eater SF tipster has the scoop:

It was all in tumult, furniture stacked in huge piles, sanding equipment and miscellaneous junk everywhere. I talked to one of the guys who said they are undergoing renovations and Rite Spot will be back up and running within a month.

Can’t wait!

Now that Instagram isn’t cool anymore (I mean, as if it was cool before, shyah, as if!) I thought I’d feel free to share the ultimate uncool photo with you all. Latte art.

I don’t usually go to Muddy Waters, even though they’re right around the corner from my house. I don’t know why. I grew up in a college town and maybe they have too much of that college town feel for my liking. Anyway, I got over myself one day (well, really only for about an hour) and stopped in for a soy latte and a regular latte for my special girl. Now, I’ve been around the Mission a bit and I’ve seen all the hearts, leaves and spinal columns, etc. that baristas are arting into the foam atop my drinks. Not so easily impressed.

Well, here I am. Impressed.

And in a good mood before I even take a sip. Sometimes all you need is some empty positive reinforcement.

It’s an Off the Grid event, but this time there’s more to it:

[G]uests are invited to don San Francisco Giants gear and indulge in Giant-themed dishes from the line-up of food trucks. Complete with Giant-sized food specials, hourly food challenges and a Giants themed soundtrack, Off the Grid: Giant McCoppin is a great way to kick off another baseball season. Offerings such as Senor Sisig’s Giant Burrito; the Rib Whip’s Whole Pig Plate; and Sanguchon’s Super Salchipapas complete the celebration.

Additionally, the Giants Orange and Black Attack will be present at the event.The Orange and Black Attack is a fan interactive team serving as ambassadors for the Giants, bringing games and giveaways to the festivities at Off the Grid: Giants McCoppin.

Saturday from 5-9pm at Valencia and McCoppin. RSVP and invite your friends!

Reader Jill S. reports:

Someone went up and down Albion Street and posted various chocolate chip cookie recipes to all of the trees and utility poles. A bit mysterious, but definitely made me smile on a Friday morning.

Can’t wait!

Looks like it’ll be an option at this forthcoming new place Central Kitchen. Eater SF has the scoop:

There were eight people at the first preview dinner at the dough room of Flour + Water. Executive Chef Tom McNaughton and Chef D’Cuisine Michael Gaines served eight official courses with various amuses peppered in. The focus of the new restaurant is Northern California – whatever that means at any given time. They are hyper-focused on seasonality and sourcing local. Many of the ingredients came from the rooftop garden or very close by.

Standout dishes were:

Hedgehog. Egg yolk. Brioche. Horseradish: At first the circulated egg seemed a little dense but then it melted into the other ingredients and the whole thing came together.

Yeah, I can see that. I think I’d like a little egg yolk in my hedgehog. (I could maybe also go for a super hedgehog burrito.) Read on.

You know her, you love her. Tonight, celebrate one year of Hey, Cookie at Homestead from 7-11PM.

RSVP and invite your friends!

Sounds about right!
