After a few weeks off for the holiday and to find a bigger kitchen prep location to accomodate its burgeoning popularity, Mission Street Food returns this Thursday with a guest chef (Tia Harrison of Sociale/Avedano's Holly Park Market) and a menu theme "inspired by butter, hip-hop and gentrification: 'The Dirty South Cleans Up Pretty Good.'" As before, it will take place at Lung Shan (2234 Mission at 19th St.) from 6 p.m. to midnight; check out this week's full menu (smoked duck beignets!) on t

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.

It's been a while since we checked in with the ever-popular Mission Street Food, and not always for lack of trying -- sometimes it's simply too busy to accomodate. But that's a wonderful thing, because MSF has successfully been donating its profits to charity each week since the beginning of the year, and has supported the following organizations so far:

UNICEF's Tap Project
St. Anthony's Foundation
The Food Pantry
C.H.E.F.S.
Dolores Street Community Services
Charity: Water
Youth
This Thursday night's edition of Mission Street Food will be Fan Appreciation Night and will feature some popular favorites from this dining experiment's ever-changing menu. This gives us a great opportunity to show some photos of what are now considered MSF classics.
Mission Street Food becomes McMission for the night.The menu at Mission Street Food is normally miles from McDonald's (even though the two are technically down the street from each other), but there will be some striking similarities as MSF becomes "McMission" this week. Food imagineers from Cal Academy of Science's The Moss Room (sous chef Ben Coe, kitchen manager Blake Kutner, and assistant pastry chef Angela Gong) will be remixing McDonald's items such as McNuggets, McRib, Big Mac, File
