Starting as a weekly sandwich stand in a rented taco truck, San Francisco's Mission Street Food (MSF) evolved into a philanthropic restaurant with guest chefs and a burger stand. Like the restaurant itself, the funny, fantastic Mission Street Food defies categorization: part memoir, part cookbook, part manifesto. Anthony Myint and Karen Leibowitz take turns in the first sections of the book describing their creation of the MSF concept and the transition from food truck to rented restaurant. Next, recipes for MSF signature dishes (including PB&J--pork belly, jicama, cilantro aioli and jalapeño on a buttery flatbread--and the Mission Burger) are clearly described with helpful step-by-step photography. Finally, Myint and Leibowitz round out their quirky take on the food business with a slightly irreverent manual for restaurant success. --Roni K. Devlin, owner of Literary Life Bookstore & More
