Lots to do today!

Switching topics, Anthony from Mission Chinese wants to open a charitable restaurant inside the SF Food Bank’s warehouse. From his blog post:
I left the San Francisco Food Bank yesterday full of hope — we may be able to build a truly charitable restaurant, which would serve amazing food and turn all its profits toward feeding the hungry — but we need your vote to get started.
Here’s my pitch: For the last two years, Mission Chinese Food has been raising money for the Food Bank: more than $125,000 so far. But we could do even more. I’ve been sketching plans to serve food inside the Food Bank itself, in their warehouse, as a kind of a hybrid between restaurant and fundraiser.
Have fun today — you might run into us at some of the happenings!
