Title

Mission Eats | Guide to SF's Best Cheap Food | Mission District, San Francisco

Description

"What's the story behind this site?", you may be asking. Well look no further (just a little further, actually). Read below for the story behind Mission Eats, as well as the creative minds that developed its Web site.

This site began as a conversation on the way to work at Dayspring Technologies, Inc. The question became how to find cheap places to have dinner for two in the neighborhood on a Friday night for approximately $10. It seemed like there were many Web sites that cataloged the pricier restaurants that San Francisco is well-known for, but very few that could provide reviews and (most importantly) menus for the cheap restaurants that you generally hear about by word of mouth. Our hope with this site is to gradually extend its reach to cover all of the great, cheap places to eat in SF's Mission District as well as beyond.

This concept was put in motion with the Spring 2000 Youth Externship Program of Grace Urban Ministries, Inc. Over the course of sixteen weeks, the youth externs were trained in Web design and production skills and produced the Mission Eats Site. The site was recently expanded through the summer job training program of Grace Urban Ministries, PrYSM (Preparing Youth to Serve in the Marketplace). PrYSM interns were trained in Web production and tested and reviewed additional restaurants, extending the site to include a total of ten eateries.
