Cookbook author and New York Times columnist, Mark Bittman, dodged the Mission's "rampant" hipsters yesterday to have lunch with his daughter. At La Oaxaquena, the duo dug into a banana leaf tamale, guacamole, a taco al pastor, a sope and a coconut agua fresca for an impressively low $14. Bittman will be back, but now he's off to research a Times's Travel section piece. Drop us a line if you bump into him around town. [NYT]
