Did you know that if you order a corn dog at Mission Bowling Club it arrives on its own custom stand, protruding diagonally off of a wooden board with a dollop of habanero crema dipping sauce underneath, “like a dish you’d find at Alinea“? Also, in a nod to the haute-within-reach aesthetic pioneered at Mission Street Food, it’s made with artisanal fennel sausage instead of a hot dog, and comes with a crisp cornmeal and hominy crust. And according to Food GPS, Anthony Myint’s Mission Burger is as great and juicy as ever; the “everything pretzel” is good but missing garlic and salt; and there’s a rather refined buttermilk panna cotta for dessert that’s garnished with fresh herbs, chamomile brittle, and mint oil. So, yeah, not your grandpa’s bowling alley. [Food GPS]
