Our friends at Mission Pie are venturing into occasional Monday night dinners – the first is Monday, July 13th  and my guess is that these will go fast.

Here’s all the information you need:

Meet Collin Hilton, our dear friend and former (savory) chef at Mission Pie.

We are delighted to host a series of Monday Night Dinners by Collin, and to share his gifts, vision and respect for local ingredients with YOU!  

The first Monday Night Dinner is on July 13th.  (See reservation details and sample menu below.)

Collin plans for every dish to be delicious, creative and respectful to the integrity of the ingredient and the hard labor of the farmers we will source from. The food will be a creative preparation of seasonal California ingredients, influenced by coastal Italian and Japanese cuisine. The price range can be expected to be $10 – $27 per dish. We will also offer hand selected wines and craft beers! Monday Night Dinners will surely be something not to miss.

When we first met Collin three years ago, he was a talented chef who had just returned from cooking through South America. He wanted to spend a few months in our bakery and stayed much longer, helping us serve up Supper and driving our savory food to another level. Since then, Collin has continued to pursue creative avenues to showcase seasonal California ingredients. From doing local pop ups, to honing flavor profiles for Bay Area distilleries, he has continued to expand his horizons and his vision of “a good meal.” Collin‘s most recent endeavor was opening the kitchen of the local mission cocktail bar,ABV (imbibe magazine’s best bar of 2014) with his good friend.

I’ve been a Mission resident since 1998 and a professor emeritus at Berkeley’s J-school since 2019. I got my start in newspapers at the Albuquerque Tribune in the city where I was born and raised. Like many local news outlets, The Tribune no longer exists. I left daily newspapers after working at The New York Times for the business, foreign and city desks. Lucky for all of us, it is still here.

As an old friend once pointed out, local has long been in my bones. My Master’s Project at Columbia, later published in New York Magazine, was on New York City’s experiment in community boards.

As founder and an editor at ML, I've been trying to figure out how to make my interest in local news sustainable. If Mission Local is a model, the answer might be that you - the readers - reward steady and smart content. As a thank you for that support we work every day to make our content even better.
