This coming Thursday, we're pleased to have Jeff Rosen, former owner of the Inner Sunset's beloved Avenue 9 as our guest chef. Jeff is a Bay Area restaurant veteran who is back behind the stoves after 7 years "working for the man." His current ventures include various secret suppers around the city, including "Whiskey-Pig" and Club Ave 9. Follow him on Facebook at Club Ave 9 or www.clubave9.blogspot.com
MSF profits will go to Martin de Porres, a free restaurant at 225 Potrero Avenue near 16th Street that has been serving their community since 1971. Their program is especially uplifting because of the altruistic spirit of their volunteers--some of whom are full-time, live on site, and earn no money.

Year End Wrap Up
Our last MSF of the year will be next Thursday December 17th with a Vegan Menu (okay maybe two vegetarian dishes).
We'll be closed this Saturday so we can serve late night Mission Burgers. Stay tuned for details. Or if you're going to be in a bar in the inner mission, direct message missionburger on twitter and we'll see about delivery.
Notes:
Through November, MSF donated $17623, and conducted side benefits with The Food Pantry for $1522. Since late August, Mission Burger and Duc Loi have raised $2616 for the SF Food Bank. Your support makes a difference.

Thursday December 10th: Offal Menu and Industry Happy Hour for Foodrunners
This Thursday we're putting all of our eggs into one basket, only they're not eggs, they're chicken livers breaded in cornflakes and the basket is the left side of the deep fryer. But why split hairs (when you can split bones for marrow)? Come break [crispy sweet]bread[s] with us.
Since this is kind of a foodie menu, we're going to stay open for an industry happy hour from 11pm to midnight with food and drink specials.
MSF profits will go to Foodrunners which picked up and delivered 117,470 pounds (!) of food in the month of November. Volunteers performed 864 runs and the truck did 217. Even if you don't want to volunteer any time or energy, you can still make a big difference by just spreading awareness so that leftovers from holiday parties or other events find a home. Call 415-929-1866 and get a truck to come pick up and redistribute any food prepared in a professional kitchen.
MENU:
charcoal grilled tripe with preserved melon, salmon roe, sweet herbs, shallot pickles, bitter greens - $9
crispy sweetbreads with spicy scallop crudo, pear and elderflower soubise, pea leaves, white soy - $13
country-fried chicken livers with brussels spouts, buttermilk dressing - $7
roasted bone marrow with fresh dill, tomato toast - $7
seared beef tongue with blackened grits, spicy mustard greens, pickled anchovy - $9

Saturday December 5th: Aromatics Menu for Bernal Heights Neighborhood Center
"The olfactory receptors in our nasal passages can detect many hundreds of volatile molecules that are small and chemically repelled by water, and therefore fly out of the food and into the air in our mouth. The sensations from our mouth give us an idea of a food's basic composition and qualities, while our sense of smell allows us to make much finer discriminations" - Harold McGee
And because we at MSF always aspire to "finer discriminations," Saturday's menu will highlight a vartiety of aromatics. MSF profits will go to the Bernal Heights Neighborhood Center, food distribution program, which feeds about 400 people each week. The BHNC also offers an array of Youth, senior and housing services.

Smoky BLT: benton's bacon with pickled cherry tomato, iceberg lettuce, smokehouse aioli on a homemade flatbread - $6
Coffee and Cigarettes Short Rib: coffee braised with date-tobacco jam, fried yucca, caramelized onion, dandelion - $12
Chamomile Poached Catfish: with lemongrass sabayon, sauteed lettuce, fried okra - $10
Lung Shan's Vegan Delight: shitake and oyster mushroom dumplings in miso soup - $5.5
