We've written previously of our love of Mission Street Food, the brainchild of Bar Tartine line chef Anthony Myint that began life as a truck in October and now takes place most Thursday nights at Lung Shan (2234 Mission). Guest chefs are now a part of the mix each time, and this evening was called Mash-Up Night in honor of the different hybrid styles that came out of the kitchen.
A mash-up is also a term widely used i
At barely 7-months-old, Anthony Myint's Mission Street Food is already a San Francisco institution. Myint and crew are setting examples not only with the playful spirit of experimentation (different themes and menus each time), but also with their business model of supporting local charitable organizations by donating their profits each week. Responding to our challenge to write a recipe within the 140-character space offered on Twitter, Myint crafted a simple, enticing topper:Charred Scallion S
Say adios to the loading dock, at least for one nightOne of the biggest food stories in a year destined to be remembered for depressing restaurant closures is Kitchenette, which (in case you just blew in from Fresno) serves up amazing weekday lunches from a loading dock in Dogpatch.

Not too long ago, the city's street food offerings caught the attention of late-night borrachos fixing for bacon-wrapped hot dogs, hammered Zeitgeist hipsters heeding the arrival of the Tamale Lady, and hopeful day laborers with an appetite. Later this month, street food becomes the subject of a panel discussion in the dress-shirt ambience of the Commonwealth Club of California, and SFoodie's own Tamara Palmer is moderating, and there'll be a post-talk tasting at 111 Minna Gallery.

Ever dated a chef? It can be a dysfunctional slog: enabling his 12-hour work days, waking up at 1 a.m. to a kitchen of his work buddies doing Fernet shots around the dinette, and living through the perennial reek of garlic on his fingers. But seriously? We'd put up with all of it -- every last blast of clammy, line-cook sweat-stink on the chef's jacket he drops on the floor before staggering into bed - for a chance to call one of these San Francisco chefs our boo.
