Mission Mission

The Bold Italic today takes a look at the state of hummus in San Francisco. Mission Street’s Old Jerusalem gets an honorable mention:

“I came here and I wanted to make a restaurant exactly like home,” the chef told me. His recipe uses no garlic and he looked offended by the mention of lemon juice. “Lemon salt,” he clarified. “The process is very important, that it’s timed, how long to soak, how long to grind, like a dance done to music.” The hummus was covered with lakes of olive oil, scattered clusters of paprika, and finely chopped parsley. It was slippery, disappearing down my throat quickly, but very filling when served with warm pita, and thicker than the summer humidity of Tel Aviv’s beaches.

RSVP and invite your friends!

To mark this joyous occasion, our pal Cody Frost is printing up a limited edition of high-quality hand-screened posters, seen below, which will hopefully be for sale onsite for a modest price:

They were just right out in the lane, following some bros on the sidewalk, for a full block at least. Dumb.

So I went to paste in “The End,” but it’s really more of a “Riders on the Storm” morning, right?
