The idea for Pal's started A couple of years ago,when I thought that it would be a great idea to open a small take out sandwich counter that serves clean, great tasting new twists on old favorites at a reasonable price using all fresh,organic local ingredients from my grower friends and neighborhood backyard gardens. We opened in mid April of 2009. The idea being that a locally supported micro food enterprise would be a good thing because we love making fresh, clean, great tasting, simple food for people and we would be supporting our local growers, artisans and food makers and hopefully make a living in the offing. We did not open Pal's because we wanted to surf some new bay area food trend.

We believe in what we do and we feel good when you come in and enjoy one of our sandwiches and maybe share a few laughs. Our goal is to continue to make great tasting food and to continue working with other neighborhood like-minded microvores like Dynamo Donut, Humphry Slocombe, and others who are trying to make some good tasting sense out of tough economic times. We want thank everyone in the Mission community for supporting us and a special thanks to Kasa, the owner of Tony's market. Without his support, good humor and integrity, Pal's would still be a dream.

More power to the micro-minded! If you have a good idea, you can make it...... happen! Jeff Mason- chef/Owner Pal's Take Away
