Mission Mission

I mean, we already know he lives in the Mission.

The Perennial is the forthcoming new restaurant concept from Chris Kiyuna and Anthony Myint and the Mission Street Food/Mission Chinese Food team. Here’s what we had to say about it when they first launched their Kickstarter about a year ago:

Anthony’s done tons for the Mission. From those wild-west early days at Mission Street Food, to the worldwide phenomenon that is Mission Chinese Food, and of course the advent of the Mission Burger — he’s been there for all of it. (And all of his projects are constantly raising money for local charities.)

Now’s a chance to give back. He’s opening a new restaurant called the Perennial in the Mid-Market area, with an aim toward completely reinventing the way restaurants source their stuff and expend energy. It’s gonna be greener than green. It could change the world, solve climate change. But they need a little help getting started. [link]

Now it’s a year later and they’re much closer to opening, but first they’re doing a little popup preview dinner at Rintaro here in the Mission on Sunday night. Here’s the menu:

“Chips and Dips”
vegetable crisps, crème fraiche, avocado, formanova beets, egg ‘caviar’

Pumpkin Seed Bisque
kuri squash, preserved sudachi, sesame

Potato Confit and Clam Bagna Cauda
carola and fingerling potatoes, savory clams, home-grown radishes, fennel

Seared Trout
marrow and mussels broth, ice lettuce, trout mousse, parsnip

Concord Grape Sorbet
meyer lemon, tarragon

Apple Mille Feuille
popcorn, hazelnut, brown butter [link]

How to put cheese on your slice

Yesterday I was headed home from a lunch in Larkspur, and I’d popped in my CD of “Gold” by the Fucking Am (the supergroup made up of members of the Fucking Champs and Trans Am)… and as we were going through the Robin Williams Tunnel, the hand claps at the start of ”Doing Research for An Autobiography” began, and the first guitar lick came just as the Golden Gate Bridge came into view. And it was a gorgeous sunny day, and the song lasted us right up till we hit our first stoplight on Lombard back in the city, and I said, “I think that might be the best song ever for driving across the Golden Gate Bridge.”

Think it over:

I bet Frisco Here I Come would be pretty good too.

UPDATE: The last time we mentioned the Chili Peppers on this blog was 5 years ago and it was also a “Give It Away” reference!

I’m sure the last few times you took San Jose Avenue out into the southern part of the city (like to go to Fort Funston or the Daly City In-N-Out), you were puzzled by this huge new addition the view:

I walked up there and got a closer look:

This helpful sign explained everything:

And if that’s too hard to read, I just realized the fine folks at Bernalwood have been covering this news for months.

Nowhere else does Halloween like San Francisco. In fact many of you have been constructing this years costume since 11/1/14. So we are stretching out the party as long as we can starting this Friday with a very emo SADDERDAY SF HALLOWEEN. DJs Kevin Kannibal and Ashley Suicide help you relive your youth playing all your favorite emo, pop-punk, screamo and post-hardcore songs all night.

And because like most of us, SADDERDAY loves Halloween, they’re hosting a COSTUME CONTEST!

Dress up goth or emo, as Gerard Way or Conor Oberst, or whatever you want. There’s a CASH PRIZE, so dress to impress.
