An Evening with Mission Street Food
Posted on September 26, 2011
Mission Street Food is a restaurant. But it's also a charitable organization, a taco truck, a burger stand, and a clubhouse for inventive cooks tucked inside an unassuming Chinese take-out place. And now it's a book.
On September 26, the authors Karen Leibowitz and Anthony Myint will be at 826NYC to discuss their book and their philosophy. They'll be joined by Francis Lam from GILT Taste for what is sure to be some rousing conversation!
