Tonight: Mission Street Food Apologizes to Vegans

T. Palmer

Lung Shan's Vegan Delight is offered at every Mission Street Food meal.

​Tonight's animal-free menu at Mission Street Food is a peace offering to local vegans, especially those who were ticked off by a recent carnivorous meal in honor of a vegetarian charity and by the departure of the beloved vegan patty at MSF offshoot Mission Burger. The gesture hasn't gone unnoticed or unappreciated by local blog Vegansaurus, which was most vocally upset by the meaty transgressions, and has marked this as a victory for the mighty yet gentle dinosaur.

Tonight's service starts at 6 p.m. at Lung Shan (2234 Mission at 18th St.). Proceeds will be donated to the Western Addition Senior Center to help in its work delivering 325 meals to needy seniors per week. Feast your eyes on the menu after the jump.
