The Mission's New Crudo Restaurant, A Bug-Tasting Menu, Food Trucks Saturday, and More

THE MISSION - Here's a new restaurant aiming to be something like the Bar Crudo of the Mission. Lot 7 raw bar will open in the former furniture store at 974 Valencia St. Former Michael Mina sous chef James Montejano is on board to lead the kitchen, and it sounds like they'll have some things with meat on the menu too. The opening as of now is planned for mid-November. [ISSF]

COMING ATTRACTIONS - Fresh off the EaterWire are two forthcoming events of note from La Cocina. On October 26, the folks behind the Chaac-Mool Yucatecan food truck will lead a demo about pan de muerto followed by dinner and drinks at La Victoria. The following day, the moth larvae taco-selling Don Bugito will serve a multi-course meal featuring edible insects from California and Mexico at Headlands Center for the Arts in Sausalito.

FOOD TRUCKS - In an unexpected turn of events, 10 food trucks will be doing the food truck thing tomorrow from noon to 4 p.m. at Fort Mason. All of the trucks—from Bacon Bacon to Pacific Puffs—were voter favorites in the recent Eater Choice Awards contest. Everything else you want to know about this is here. [EaterWire, GrubStreet]

THE SHUTTER - North Beach Neapolitan pizza spot Pulcinella is selling everything in sight as they ready to close their doors. [ISSF]

CHEF SHUFFLES - Sonoma's El Dorado Kitchen has finally filled the void left since exec chef Justin Everett left for Murray Circle. Armando Navarro has hopped on over from Vail's Larkspur Restaurant. He's also got a Redd chef de cuisine stint on his resume. [ISSF]
