The Perennial is the forthcoming new restaurant concept from Chris Kiyuna and Anthony Myint and the Mission Street Food/Mission Chinese Food team. Here’s what we had to say about it when they first launched their Kickstarter about a year ago:
Anthony’s done tons for the Mission. From those wild-west early days at Mission Street Food, to the worldwide phenomenon that is Mission Chinese Food, and of course the advent of the Mission Burger — he’s been there for all of it. (And all of his projects are constantly raising money for local charities.)
Now’s a chance to give back. He’s opening a new restaurant called the Perennial in the Mid-Market area, with an aim toward completely reinventing the way restaurants source their stuff and expend energy. It’s gonna be greener than green. It could change the world, solve climate change. But they need a little help getting started. [link]
Now it’s a year later and they’re much closer to opening, but first they’re doing a little popup preview dinner at Rintaro here in the Mission on Sunday night. Here’s the menu:
“Chips and Dips”
