Yet winter it is, and with it comes chillier weather, seasonal flus, and (we hope) days filled with rain. There’s little better than a big bowl of soup to sooth a wintry soul: chicken noodle and take-out pho are fine picks, but there is a whole world of Mexican soups hidden amongst the burritos and beer in the Mission. Mexican soups like pozole and menudo are the strongholds, but Salvadoran and Yucatan restaurants each have their own twists on these classics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We traveled up and down Mission Street to slurp the best soups we could find.

The pork itself is a delight as well, with large pieces of bone-in meat adding heft and protein to the bowl.

A long, Formica countertop anchors the space, which is accented with padded booths, Coco-Cola swag and coffee percolators.

On the day of our visit, a chicken-filled pozole verde was on special—a tangy, bright example of the form, abundant with fresh green chiles. The stew is not as rib-sticking as Gallardos’s pork version, but nearly as satisfying. Even better is their caldo de res. Less a fork and knife meal than in other restaurants, SanJalisco’s take is a broth beefy and pure, punctuated with meltingly tender short ribs and properly tender vegetables. Fresh, well-charred homemade tortillas are a fine accompaniment, as is the rice—it is crunchy on its own, but a dip into the warm broth plumps the grains and infuses them with the soul of the soup.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_78178\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/02/sanjalisco-interior1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/02/sanjalisco-interior1000.jpg\" alt=\"SanJalisco's festive interior.

Its broth, enhanced with tomato and infused with mysterious Salvadoran spices, is far more complex than fish bones simmered in water. Each successive spoonful reveals more even complexity; it would be easy to get lost in the broth without even trying the fish. Yet the seafood, cooked bone-in and skin on, is a wonder in itself.

Yet winter it is, and with it comes chillier weather, seasonal flus, and (we hope) days filled with rain. There’s little better than a big bowl of soup to sooth a wintry soul: chicken noodle and take-out pho are fine picks, but there is a whole world of Mexican soups hidden amongst the burritos and beer in the Mission. Mexican soups like pozole and menudo are the strongholds, but Salvadoran and Yucatan restaurants each have their own twists on these classics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We traveled up and down Mission Street to slurp the best soups we could find. Not wanting to limit our search for brunch-only specials, we focused on soups that are available just about any time of day for any kind of soup emergency.

Each toothsome kernel offers its own burst of sweet corn flavor, with small pieces slowly drifting off into the deeply porky broth. The hominy thickens, flavors, and enriches the soup, haunting each successive bite, making it impossible to put down the spoon. The pork itself is a delight as well, with large pieces of bone-in meat adding heft and protein to the bowl.

Walking into the beloved Mexican joint feels like stepping into a curious amalgamation of a 1950's American diner and a wizened Tex-Mex restaurant. A long, Formica countertop anchors the space, which is accented with padded booths, Coco-Cola swag and coffee percolators.

On the day of our visit, a chicken-filled pozole verde was on special—a tangy, bright example of the form, abundant with fresh green chiles. The stew is not as rib-sticking as Gallardos’s pork version, but nearly as satisfying. Even better is their caldo de res. Less a fork and knife meal than in other restaurants, SanJalisco’s take is a broth beefy and pure, punctuated with meltingly tender short ribs and properly tender vegetables. Fresh, well-charred homemade tortillas are a fine accompaniment, as is the rice—it is crunchy on its own, but a dip into the warm broth plumps the grains and infuses them with the soul of the soup.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_78178\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/02/sanjalisco-interior1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/02/sanjalisco-interior1000.jpg\" alt=\"SanJalisco's festive interior.

Inhaling whiffs of broth, corn, and cheese wafting out from the kitchen heightens the sense of warmth. This comfort only increases upon the first sips of soup. Try first the fragrant sopa de pescado. Its broth, enhanced with tomato and infused with mysterious Salvadoran spices, is far more complex than fish bones simmered in water. Each successive spoonful reveals more even complexity; it would be easy to get lost in the broth without even trying the fish. Yet the seafood, cooked bone-in and skin on, is a wonder in itself. Just cooked through and robustly seasoned, the pieces of fish are as fine as in any white tablecloth restaurant.

A little too much char here and there, yes, a few too many black bubbles indicative of a crust left for just a few seconds too long in the 700-degree heat of the electric pizza ovens. The tomato sauce takes a bit of a back seat, but overall, for those who like their cheese, this is very pleasing (and kid-friendly) pie. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_77842\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 500px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/02/2014-02-05_DSC7986.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/02/2014-02-05_DSC7986.jpg\" alt=\"Preparing Rocket Man pie in the open kitchen.

Much like Josey Baker and Four Barrel Coffee’s \u003ca href=\"http://themillsf.com/\">The Mill\u003c/a>, Linea is a place where you will surely sigh when running your credit card, but soon forget the expense when muttering “so good, so good” in between taking gluttonous bites of your $9 waffle. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_74947\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/12/Sweet-potato-and-brussels-waffle-2.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/12/Sweet-potato-and-brussels-waffle-2.jpg\" alt=\"A sweet potato and Brussels sprouts waffle with cranberry applesauce and crème fraiche is a seasonal special.

The seasonal Thanksgiving leftovers-inspired sweet potato and Brussels sprouts latke waffle with luxuriously smooth cranberry applesauce and crème fraiche is that which Black Friday snacks dream of. Other savory options include a buckwheat waffle with salmon roe and a potato waffle filled with pastrami and sauerkraut. The sweet waffles are equally creative: yeasted waffles come plain, topped with fruit, yogurt, and olive oil or drizzled with spiced chocolate syrup and coconut crema.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Salads are courtesy of Myint’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.greensalads.org/\">GreenSalads.org\u003c/a>, the charitable arm of the operation ($1 of each salad sale benefits 350.org).

What we do well supports 27 people and makes their lives possible. Between the two restaurants, we spend tens of thousands of dollars on food and wine and literally know the people who produce our food, wine, cheese, and olive oil... We’ve visited them and they visit us. To have relatively small restaurants and have a big impact is great. I love being around delicious food and being able to taste and give feedback on it each day. I walk between the two spots and see neighbors -- we meet at the park, we go to each others homes. I love that my kids have this sense of family with staff and it’s special.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’m very lucky, because I bring my son to school and pick him up every day. I eat dinner with my family and work till one or two every night. I’ve been able to grow the business and still be with them. I don’t think anyone could be luckier than that. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The worst aspects are it’s a tremendous amount of pressure and anxiety. Ultimately the buck does stop at the top. Making sure the business continues to operate is on me. All the tens of thousands of dollars we spend and paying those 27 people -- they need to be paid on time. There’s pressure to deliver to our employees and our vendors, and they put a lot of trust in us. Then I have friends and family who helped get this started, so I really want to make good on the promises I made to them. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bay Area Bites: Do you have any favorite Bay Area food spots?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Milgrom:\u003c/strong> As a family we do mostly eat at home -- we don’t eat at our own restaurants except for Sunday brunch.

Does your training as a scholar have anything to do with the library?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Milgrom:\u003c/strong> For me, it’s about being open about your influences. There’s so much of an emphasis on culinary innovation as if it stands on its own. It’s not that there’s nothing new under the sun. It’s really important to me as a scholar and an eater to recognize that ideas have sources. Our culinary tradition is European-based around ingredients and method-based.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bay Area Bites: Where do you think the U.S. is in terms of appreciation for other cultures food-wise? \u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Milgrom:\u003c/strong> I have very little idea what it looks like between New York and San Francisco. In San Francisco, we have a diversity of food opportunities. You have the Eastern European food which is really taking hold and wines from there as well. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For authenticity, the Thai food that people are eating has been modified for an American palate. There are regional foods: Thai, Chinese, Italian.... But now we have more of a sense that there is more to, say Italian food: there’s Tuscan food, and there’s Roman food. That is a deep level of appreciation. It’s not just having Thai, Italian or Chinese restaurant; it’s enjoying the heritage. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bay Area Bites: Do you have any foods that you enjoy and are a guilty pleasure?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Milgrom:\u003c/strong> In our house we really don’t eat processed or mass produced food.

What we do well supports 27 people and makes their lives possible. Between the two restaurants, we spend tens of thousands of dollars on food and wine and literally know the people who produce our food, wine, cheese, and olive oil... We’ve visited them and they visit us. To have relatively small restaurants and have a big impact is great. I love being around delicious food and being able to taste and give feedback on it each day. I walk between the two spots and see neighbors -- we meet at the park, we go to each others homes. I love that my kids have this sense of family with staff and it’s special.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’m very lucky, because I bring my son to school and pick him up every day. I eat dinner with my family and work till one or two every night. I’ve been able to grow the business and still be with them. I don’t think anyone could be luckier than that. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The worst aspects are it’s a tremendous amount of pressure and anxiety. Ultimately the buck does stop at the top. Making sure the business continues to operate is on me. All the tens of thousands of dollars we spend and paying those 27 people -- they need to be paid on time. There’s pressure to deliver to our employees and our vendors, and they put a lot of trust in us. Then I have friends and family who helped get this started, so I really want to make good on the promises I made to them. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bay Area Bites: Do you have any favorite Bay Area food spots?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Milgrom:\u003c/strong> As a family we do mostly eat at home -- we don’t eat at our own restaurants except for Sunday brunch.

Does your training as a scholar have anything to do with the library?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Milgrom:\u003c/strong> For me, it’s about being open about your influences. There’s so much of an emphasis on culinary innovation as if it stands on its own. It’s not that there’s nothing new under the sun. It’s really important to me as a scholar and an eater to recognize that ideas have sources. Our culinary tradition is European-based around ingredients and method-based.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bay Area Bites: Where do you think the U.S. is in terms of appreciation for other cultures food-wise? \u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Milgrom:\u003c/strong> I have very little idea what it looks like between New York and San Francisco. In San Francisco, we have a diversity of food opportunities. You have the Eastern European food which is really taking hold and wines from there as well. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For authenticity, the Thai food that people are eating has been modified for an American palate. There are regional foods: Thai, Chinese, Italian.... But now we have more of a sense that there is more to, say Italian food: there’s Tuscan food, and there’s Roman food. That is a deep level of appreciation. It’s not just having Thai, Italian or Chinese restaurant; it’s enjoying the heritage. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bay Area Bites: Do you have any foods that you enjoy and are a guilty pleasure?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Milgrom:\u003c/strong> In our house we really don’t eat processed or mass produced food.

This traditional Mexican / Mexican-American holiday honors ancestors and loved ones who are no longer with us, and helps us take a moment to acknowledge and reflect on the importance of those people. The festivities took place in two parts: The Festival of Altars at Garfield Park, where artists created beautiful and heartfelt altars. Separately, a candlelight procession was led from 22nd Street and Bryant, wound its way through the streets of the Mission, and included Aztec dancers, musicians, community leaders and activists. The images following show the beauty of community, the commemoration of lives, and the rich cultural tradition that the Mission District has held for decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All Photos by \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/author/naomifiss/\">\u003cstrong>Naomi Fiss\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ALTARS\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/11/Fiss.AltarHERO-9948.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/11/Fiss.AltarHERO-9948.jpg\" alt=\"Day of the Dead: Mission Stop the Violence.

This traditional Mexican / Mexican-American holiday honors ancestors and loved ones who are no longer with us, and helps us take a moment to acknowledge and reflect on the importance of those people. The festivities took place in two parts: The Festival of Altars at Garfield Park, where artists created beautiful and heartfelt altars. Separately, a candlelight procession was led from 22nd Street and Bryant, wound its way through the streets of the Mission, and included Aztec dancers, musicians, community leaders and activists. The images following show the beauty of community, the commemoration of lives, and the rich cultural tradition that the Mission District has held for decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All Photos by \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/author/naomifiss/\">\u003cstrong>Naomi Fiss\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ALTARS\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/11/Fiss.AltarHERO-9948.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/11/Fiss.AltarHERO-9948.jpg\" alt=\"Day of the Dead: Mission Stop the Violence.
