Amanda Ngo, owner of Duc Loi, the supermarket at 18th and Mission, served a free Thanksgiving from the front of her store last week. She paid for the dinner herself, which was served to more than 450 hungry people.

Mission Chinese Food’s Anthony Myint cooked 25 turkeys for Ngo to serve. Mission Local’s Rigoberto Hernandez has the story.

Nicole from The Bay Bridged gives us the rundown on the first edition of The Bay Brewed:

This is our second NEW event of 2011 and I am really excited that this one is finally going to happen for real. The idea is this: you go to a beer festival and pay $60 to taste unlimited beers, which is great and all, but the music usually SUCKS. We decided why not bring down the ticket price, invite all the amazing local breweries (Lagunitas, 21st Ammendment, Anchor… list goes on), get sausages from Rosamunde, and then enlist AWESOME local bands. You and I both know that I would pay $45 to see Terry Malts any day of the week, but Weekend and Sleepy Sun are worth the ticket price alone. And you’ll leave with a Bay Brewed beer glass for keeps!

Buy tickets here.

Last we heard of MateVeza, our pal Jane was hypothesizing that this strange drink might make a fair substitute for Four Loko. Now they’re coming to the Mission, more or less, according to this press release:

SAN FRANCISCO, November 29 – MateVeza is pleased to announce its intention to open “Cervecería de MateVeza,” a restaurant and small brewery dedicated to providing locally-sourced, Argentinian-style cuisine paired with creative artisanal beers. Cervecería de MateVeza will be located at 3801 18th Street on the northwest corner of Dolores Park in the Mission District of San Francisco.

MateVeza, an independent, San Francisco-based company that markets and sells a line of organic craft beers brewed with yerba mate, will use Cervecería de MateVeza as a creative test kitchen to develop and refine recipes that further enhance the culinary experience of pairing craft beer with fine food. MateVeza founder and San Francisconative Jim Woods will be returning to his homebrewing roots, brewing at the restaurant on a small 20-gallon copper system.

SFist reports:

Terces Engelhart, owner of Café Gratitude, just posted the following announcement on her Facebook page announcing the closure/sale of all Northern California Café Gratitudes locations. According to Englehart, some “aggressive lawsuits” from former employees brought him to the decision to shutter his vegan/cult restaurants.

Read on for the full announcement and further astute commentary from SFist.
