[...] Dark indeed. Had we noticed that El Mango was eating the last of the wine-braised duck potpie – sold out by the time we ordered - we would have stolen a bite…or three. The remaining menu items though did us well. The mussels with Thai coconut curry broth and hidden gems of wok-seared pork belly lardons(!) were good to the point that we took turns unabashedly draining the last of the broth. The winner for us though was the whiskey-soaked eel/banana tempura over sesame and avocado brown rice…or was it the burrata with uni and olive oil crostini?? …or was it the freshly made salt and chili spiced chicharones the fine MSF folks graciously doled out to those of us milling about waiting and hoping the next name called would be ours!? All I can say is that Thursdays now hold a special place in my gut…err, heart. My thanks also to all the eel and sea urchin and pork bellies that were harmed in the making of this flipping amazing meal. [...]

the menu looked good again last night. i really wanted to try that eel and banana tempura and the duck pot pie… a good reason for missing it though, pliny the younger

Good to hear on the pot pie. Well, bad actually as I’m trapped in Long Beach this week and that’s the thing I’m most bummed to have missed.

But where’s my Mission Melt?! If that’s not a classic I don’t know what is.

While I think the appeal must fundamentally be attributed to the food and the dynamic nature of the menu, I imagine a good portion of the appeal has to do with the novel “underground” nature of the endeavor. E.g. that it feels impromptu and is a special event once per week. It’ll be really interesting to see how they fare with Saturday nights. I’m curious to see how people respond if it becomes more regularized (in terms of schedule). Certainly, the fact that the vast majority of even “foodies” in the City haven’t heard of MSF suggests that the potential curve is steep and high.

In any case, I wish them luck.

P.S. For my friends and I, the winner last night — by miles — was the duck pot pie. I think we are all partial to the pot pie genre, but I think it was so good that it would win over anyone insane enough to not fundamentally love pot pies.
