After forbidding you a proper meal last night, SFist will now allow you to eat this evening. You're welcome. And on tonight's menu we offer unto thee... thymus glands. Delicious thymus glands. Or, as know in upper-crustease, sweetbreads — crispy sweetbreads, that is. You can find these rich and savory shreds of delight — replete with charred Padron pepper, corn mousseline and buttermilk — at Maverick, located in the sometimes charming Mission District. And if you don't care much for sweetbreads, they have a nifty menu that's ripe for the tasting.

Maverick: 3316 17th Street (at Mission), S.F., 415-863-3061
