August is the month the Mission Business Directory updates our listings for Reader's Choice Awards and select critic's "best of" lists. Most agree the big 2009 trend has to be food carts or as our favorite on-line magazine, 7x7 magazine, in their 2009 first, reader compiled, neighborhood issue tells us:
"Lo-Fi Trend: Food Carts: The one positive thing about this downturn? The uptick in think-outside-the-restaurant mentality—Mission Street Food started it and others have continued. Now Amuse-Bouche dishes up $1 mini breakfasts at the 24th Street BART; Chez Spencer has just launched a truck with a French accent (chezspenceronthego.com); plus, the “magic curry kart” often teams up with the crème brulee cart for the one-two punch. DIY and generally delicious. Follow the carts on Twitter to find their whereabouts: @magiccurrycart, @cremebruleecart, @AmuseBoucheSF"
This Mission Business Directory reflects leading merchants and business people from throughout the 94110 zip code [Mission and Bernal-Heights] as well as its historic larger sphere of influence when the Mission Merchants distributed door to door an advertiser/newspaper in the Greater Mission to our adjacent neighborhoods of the Castro, Glen-Park, Excelsior, Noe-Valley, Potrero-Hill, Portola & Soma.

I actually don't even order the standard heart-attack inducing cheesesteak, but instead get the baked turkey sandwich....The fries were the best I'd had in a long time, and a large order was more than enough for the three of us to share....The ...

Step into Lovejoy's Tea Room, a cozy, quirky place filled with mismatched china and furniture-where hand made tea cozies, broken china mosaics and an eclectic assortment of collectibles will delight your eyes. Warm scones, tasty tea sandwiches and bottomless pot of tea await you.

the best cheesesteak option in San Francisco. Friendly service. Full of options for peppers and sauce. Authentic, straight from Philly rolls. "Veggie" cheesesteak options....Great Philly cheese steaks that come very close to the real deal (i.e. Pat's and/or Gino's).

Some mod German fare to match its sister, nearby Walzwerk.... The beer... I believe one of the largest selections of real german brew in town. In bottle or draft. If you order draft Schmidt's uses real german crystal beer mugs or tall or short gold rimmed beer glasses....Prices aren't bad and food ...
