American Grilled Cheese Kitchen will be doing a lot more than just grilled cheese

Eater SF spoke with the owners about their ambitious plans for their new place, coming this fall to the corner of 20th and Harrison:

So you’re going to flesh out the menu at the new place? Yes, in fact, my dinner tonight is going to be burger testing at Pinkie’s. We’ll use their amazing burger buns. Were going to be open from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. at the Mission location, and our new dinner service is going to have a lot on it besides grilled cheese.

[...]

We are going to rebuild the bar entirely. It’ll be a hyper-local beer bar. I’m friends with the guys at Brewtruc and Pacific Brew Lab, and very much in touch with the young, new artisan brewers in town.

[...]

We’re also offering espresso service for the first time. I just bought a La Marzocco espresso machine. We’re speaking to De La Paz about the beans. No one else has them in the area.

[...]

Our baking operation is going to grow. People think of us first for grilled cheese, but we do an amazing breakfast business. We make muffins in flavors like coconut pineapple and bourbon apple banana from scratch every morning. We also do blondies and cream biscuits. The flavors are always changing. Like we just did a jalapeno cheddar biscuit and one with smoked turkey and chive.

[...]

We’ll also do some sort of casual brunch.

Sounds good. Read on for lots more.

    Sandbox has de la Paz. But nice to feel your heads and toes above a diluted scene. Hope the grilled cheese guys bought Facebook stock too.

  4. It’s like all the parts of every other new business in the area. It’s a Franken-Mission Business!

    Plus, our Grilled Cheese beat theirs in a list written by people I don’t know!

  6. There are some interesting points in time in this article but I don’t know if I see all of them center to heart. There is some validity but I will take hold opinion until I look into it further. Good article , http://www.missionmission.org is really good. Thanks and we want more! Added to FeedBurner as well
