Hirsch Calls the Food at Mission Bowling Club ‘Damn Fine’

Jesse Hirsch is quick to note that the food is kind of secondary at Mission Bowling Club, and most people (as chef Anthony Myint admits as well) are there to bowl. Still, he finds the vegan burger “lush [and] complex” and the storied Mission Burger “justly ranked among the city’s best.” Also, he likes the whimsically plated sausage corn dog and the buttermilk panna cotta, but finds some other items that don’t work so well, like a “rubbery” blackened sturgeon. All in all, he says, after Myint figures out what works as a bar menu and what the full dinner menu may end up being, it will live up to its potential as “a bowling alley with damn fine food.” [Examiner]
