  • The vegan burger in better days.
Yesterday, SFoodie's Mary Ladd reported on the demise of Mission Burger's beloved vegan burger. Perhaps in response to an impassioned plea by Vegansaurus to reconsider ("We love that vegan burger more than we love animals, and we're vegan! That means we love animals a lot!"), MB kindly offered the site the recipe, which includes goodies like kale, maitake, shiitake, edamame, wakame -- and, apparently, some dearly departed magic.

Even the quickest glance at the time-consuming techniques evinces MB's claim that it was a real "labor of love." It's not total rocket science, but there's a small catch to trying it at home. The recipe makes 70 patties, so either get a whole bunch of friends together or break out the calculator and start dividing.

Come to think of it, these would probably freeze up rather nicely, which would make a full or half-recipe worth the time and effort for us amateur cooks to execute.

Don't squander your meat karma on deli turkey -- save it for flesh that's seriously evil, like pork belly or beef cheeks. Meantime, bank your PETA credits as SF Weekly food critic Meredith Brody suggests, with a roasted eggplant sandwich on focaccia with Asiago, sun-dried tomatoes, basil, and arugula, followed by a slice of pear galette: Greens to Go, Fort Mason, Building A, 771-6330.

  • clipping at Brava Theater Sept. 11
    Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
