If you like to cook or eat,
we probably should meet!
How many people know about Villa Capri? Have you eaten there? Do you know who the owners are, their background, the flavors they create? NO CHEF! I didn’t think so. It’s a restaurant for ‘locals’. And if you don’t live in ‘the hood’? You probably think it’s just some cheap Italian ‘style’ restaurant… the one’s … Read more
Last night, about a dozen of us met up at Finch’s Bistro & Wine Bar in La Jolla to hear Sacha Boutros sing. Sacha is a song bird. The way I would describe her is: She’s the real deal. You watch her sing, you hear her sing, you listen to her entertain, and it’s totally … Read more
Have you even heard of Carmela Cucina Italiana? NO CHEF! Of course not! It’s one of those comfy cozy local places that yes! Only the locals know about. And most places of this caliber you might call ‘a hole in the wall’. But that’s not what this is. It’s warm, it’s cozy but it seats a … Read more
Studio Diner…. It’s a lovely place, with incredibly GOOD diner food (ikr)? And before I review them, I should just mention they are participating in Burger Week. At the end of this blog, I’ll give you the full list of restaurants (even vegetarian restaurants doing not meat burgers)… but for the moment? Let’s talk about … Read more
True Food? Yes. It’s true food! From Chef Marian! I try to stay on top of things. Not easy. But I try. You may recall a blog about True Food a while back when they first opened. Since then, I have been there at least a half dozen times and still yesterday I had to … Read more
Wow. Wow and More Wow! Say it with me! Seasons 52. It opened at UTC Mall a short while back and I always make it my business to let a restaurant work out there ‘kinks’ before I pay it a visit. Based on everything I experienced I can safetly say that if there were any … Read more
My friend said yesterday, “Have you ever been to Shakespeare Pub & Grille on India Street in San Diego”? (Friends are always trying to come up with places I haven’t been to…). And I said “No….”. So that’s how I spent Sunday night. Fish and Chips. Jolly good fun. Now, you know that I’ve spent months … Read more
It’s hard to believe that Manager Billy and Chef Andy Phillips aka Chef Dizzle of Searsucker Del Mar along with Ed Adams aka ‘dirt’ (pictured second picture down with Chef Marian), and a room full of people were part of a wonderful night out tonight! And I must say, it looked effortless ~ the sign of … Read more
Well…. hi again. I know I promised you Part two of Restaurant Week 2013 days ago, but life got away from me, with the Lima Bean Fair at The Heritage Museum in Encinitas today and all the promotion that went with it and the ‘celebrity judging’ that happened this afternoon. Busy, busy, busy. And no … Read more
You know how life works….. one thing leads to another….. And my trip to Brooklyn Girl the night before (see blog review on this site) led me to the discovery of True Food kitchen in the Fashion Valley Mall, yesterday. “Combat the trend toward processed food and fast food”. That’s our man Andrew Weil talking … Read more
