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.
