Mission Beach Cafe's rabbit pot pie.

Mission Beach Cafe (198 Guerrero at 14th St.) marks the return of its seasonal "Pot Pie Tuesdays" with two new pot pies from chef Tom Martinez and pastry chef Alan Carter. In addition to the rabbit ($17) and vegetarian ($16) versions are a new Prather Ranch short rib with wild mushroom ragout ($17) and a drool-worthy seafood medley with puff pastry, lobster, shrimp, crab, shellfish fume, sea beans, and cherry tomatoes ($26).

We scored a memorable bite of the rabbit pot pie last winter, a creamy comfort with parsnips, turnips, carrots and English peas in rabbit demi. Carter has an irresistible way with crust that works in the restaurant's sweet and savory creations.
