Foreign Cinema Racks Up a Decade, Wants You to Party with Them
A week from today -- on Thursday, August 20 -- chefs Gayle Pirie, John Clark, and their crew are celebrating the 10-year anniversary of Foreign Cinema (2534 Mission at 21st St.) with a blowout fundraiser that starts at 6 p.m. Tickets cost $65 per person and benefit DrawBridge, a nonprofit arts program for homeless kids in the Bay Area. ![]()
Foreign Cinema Think of it as a kind of retrospective.
The chefs plan on highlighting menu favorites from the restaurant's last decade, paired with libations that include specialty house cocktails. "Exciting performers" include: musicians, dancers, magicians, acrobats, henna artists, and more -- no word if the fire jugglers who whooped it up for Foreign Cinema's eight-and-a-half-year anniversary will make another appearance. Maybe the quirkiest nonfood event is the auction of skateboards designed by 16 local residents, including skateboard photographers and comic sketch artists. Check out the decks on display (through August 18th) at Laszlo Bar, which is next door to Foreign Cinema.
To purchase tickets for the anniversary bash, call 648-7600. Space is limited.
