Mission Mission

This area used to be open to the public. It’s called Fort Point. This very spot used to be crawling with tourists. Back before some certain month in 2001.

Now you have to hop a fence and get a thrown out and ticketed. (Like our own Joshua Cobos did in order to secure this gem.) (Not that we condone anything illegal.)

Local veteran barfly David Enos thinks not:

Group of cool guys on the train tonight, each with khakis, thick frame glasses, desert boots, hoodies.  ”Cantina’s where its at because the bartender knows us, he knows us, we’re down.  We go in, our table’s the focal point, we can get loud and not be kicked out.  I, personally, have gotten into some awesome conversations with random people in there.  We start a fight, the bartender’s on our side, he’s fightin’ with us, know what I mean?” I guarantee that the bartender of this establishment hates these cretins to the core.

Ouch. Read on for some thoughts on whether or not these guys are good tippers.

You’ll need:

• 1 bag Trader Joe’s Baked Cheese Crunchies
• 1 jar Skippy Natural “Super Chunk” Peanut Butter
• 1 fork

Get a forkful of Skippy Natural. Stick a couple Baked Cheese Crunchies innit. Consume. Repeat. (It might also work with regular Skippy and your preferred variety of Cheetos and possibly a spoon, but I’m not sure.)

More recipes by me after the jump:

Our pal Jess just sent in this dispatch from Brisbane, Australia. $9.50 for the toast, $5 for the iced coffee. But you don’t have to tip.

UPDATE: That’s $8.84 US btw

Thanks a lot, Chino fortune cookie. (Between this and the thought-shaming fortune they gave me a couple weeks back, I feel like they’re trying pretty hard to bum me out.)

From our favorite Oakland personality Ryan Christopher Parks:

The Sears is being demolished and turned into lofts.
