Over the last month, an unusual amount of the food reporting in the Wall Street Journal has centered around the Mission’s most loved/hyped restaurants.
Today it was a feature on Wo Hing General Store, the new Charles Phan restaurant opened in the original Slanted Door space on Valencia. A couple weeks ago Bi-Rite and Humphry Slocombe were somewhat awkwardly portrayed as rivals in a cookbook review in the national lifestyle section.
The previous week, Mission Chinese Food’s ribs were one of four dishes featured in an article about lamb. A few days before that, the front page of the lifestyle section was devoted to an article on these newfangled “pop-ups” that led with a lengthy profile of Wise Sons, the brand new Jewish deli on 24th.
Maybe 2012 is the year of the WSJ discovering the Mission, like how the NYT discovered Brooklyn in 2010:
And that’s not counting the March 16th WSJ article about the real estate market in the Mission: “Ground zero of the current tech-fueled real-estate boom is the Mission.”

Well this is called gentrification. It’s what you all were after, right? I mean, only rich yuppies and trust-fund hipster infants can live here now, so it’s prime territory for WSJ.
Wo Hing, not Wing Ho
Whoa, fixed, thanks
everybody have fun tonight
everybody wang chung tonight
wsj reporters just wanna get laid like anyone else.
And get highs with a duct tape beer in hand. Occasionally, I think they have a “Bay Area” insert that the rest of the capitalistic world doesn’t get.
WSJ feature reporting has been quite good for some time. Its like my mom said about Playboy. She read it for the articles.
They had a little bit by two economists on the Laffer Curve – mainly saying taxes could be increased and not see a decrease in tax returns – I know that sounds idiotic to some people. Laffer curve is a common argument for low taxes on the rich and or a society in general. Sorry I didn’t linky. Russia has been a good example of lowering taxes and increasing tax income. Whole nother krappi ball of wax here.
Still a conservative rag.
A anti-gay conservative rag. Perfect for the New Mission.
