Mission Mission

Hey gang – a brief reminder/update on the Food For Thought event I posted about last week, in case you’re interested…

The event is this coming Wednesday, November 11th.  All you gotta do is eat at one of many participating restaurants that night and BAM! Mission Graduates gets a chunk of skrill and Mission kiddies benefit.

I’m a sucker for babies, food, and babies dressed as food.  Here’s the updated list of participating establishments:

Andalu, Bar Bambino, Bissap Baobab, CODA, Conduit, Destino, Dolores Park Cafe, Farina Focaccia and Cucina Italiana, Foreign Cinema, Front Porch, La Provence, Little Baobab, Little Star Valencia, Maverick, Mission Beach Cafe, Panchitas #2, Pisco, Ramblas Tapas, Range, Regalito Rosticeria, Slow Club, Specchio, Spork, Sun Rise Restaurant, Usulutan Restaurant.

Hey, this sounds pretty nice:

If you like eating out for charity, consider participating in next week’s Food for Thought event, in which 23 Mission District restaurants donate their profits for the night of Wednesday, Nov. 4, to Mission Graduates. All you have to do is make a reservation at one of the eateries listed below, then dine out like you normally would on a Wednesdaty. Restaurants will donate 25 to 100 percent of their revenue to the non-profit that helps Mission District kids go to college.

From Grub Street.  The Food For Thought section of the Mission Graduates website says the event is November 11th rather than the 4th, so you’ll have to dine out both nights to be safe.

Participating restaurants are: Andalu, Bar Bambino, Bissap Baobab, CODA, Conduit, Destino, Dolores Park Cafe, Farina Focaccia and Cucina Italiana, Foreign Cinema, Front Porch, La Provence, Little Star Valencia, Maverick, Panchitas #2, Pisco, Range, Regalito Rosticeria, Slow Club, Specchio, Spork, Usulutan Restaurant.

I was tickled pink to realize I had already made a reservation at one of the above restaurants for both Wednesday nights, by sheer coincidence.  Accidentally philanthropic?  YOU’RE WELCOME!
