Mission barflies and globetrotting gourmands find common ground at Danny Bowien's cult-food dive. Kung pao pastrami burritos, lamb dumplings with Greek tzatziki sauce and tiki pork belly with pickled pineapple are mind-bending, border-crossing taste sensations – though not for the salt shy – and they satisfy your conscience, too: 75¢ from each main is donated to the San Francisco Food Bank.
