Mission Mission

Bay Area Bites on Friday published a rundown of popcorn quality at a number of Bay Area movie theaters. They had some nice stuff to say about the Roxie:

They make fresh popcorn every night, popping it in peanut oil instead of the more commonly used canola oil. They also offer real butter as a topping and charge $4.50 for a large tub, the least expensive tub of popcorn in the survey.

AND Jennifer Hudson has something to do with it (unless this 3-year-old photo is out of date). Read on.

(Thanks, Brittney!)

UPDATE: Indeed, the Roxie says, “If you haven’t been in to see who is gracing the small, medium and large portions lately, you need to rectify that.”

Penelope Popsicle just found this, the first phrase we’ve seen that might be able to compete in the same league with TOLD YO ASS!

Again, tell me they were filming a movie or something and this wasn’t all some kind of violent result of Kevin Montgomery’s nerd mixer clashing with the Self Edge denim bonanza. (Kevin and Kiya are not the best of friends.)

In the Mission, the best we’ve been doing is the occasional Bratt brother. In SOMA, they get JANE MOTHERFUCKING LYNCH. I wonder what she had for dinner.

For more legit news like this, read South of the Slot, a wily and deadly blog about SOMA, written by the one and only wily and deadly Brock Keeling.

P.S. If you’re not watching Glee, what is wrong with you? Even former MM editor Kat Malinowska is into it! She’s very discerning, AND a former professional TV blogger.

UPDATE: She ate in the Mission too!

15th and Mission. Somebody tell me they were filming a movie or something and not getting ready to stomp protestors.

The Tens yesterday afternoon caught the honorable Supervisor Campos “trying out for Fuck Arizona Idol.” Think he’ll make it to Hollywood?

Do you love bacon in stuff? Of course you do! Well hey, guess what? Baconcamp is in the Mission this year!

Next Saturday afternoon, May 8th at Chez Poulet, you will be able to crowd around a small table with other wild-eyed baconnoisseurs and unapologetically shove folks out of the way to get at the salty goods prepared by local bacon experts. Or if you’re smart you can wait by the kitchen and snatch things off the trays as they are making their way across the room. Ah, this all brings me back to dinner at Cloyne Court Co-Op in Berkeley.

If you’re thinking about entering a bacon creation this year, be advised that bacon and eggs smiley face is old news and review the following categories:

• Best Overall – This is the audience choice award.  All attendees will have a chance to vote.
• Top Savory
• Top Sweet – a dessert or candy
• Top Condiment or Drink – sauces, infusions, seasonings
• Inspired – best presentation inspired by bacon.  This category is for art, sculptures, photographs, demonstrations, poems, stories, music, etc.
• Inventive – most creative use of bacon.  it’s unexpected and tasty
• Photogenic – when you see a picture of it, you want to lick your screen

So GTFOutside today if you have a chance!  Hopefully we won’t have any of that schizophrenic Wednesday weather that featured tropical rain showers while the SUN WAS STILL SHINING.  WTF was up with that?
