Here’s a list of some of what’s going on in San Diego this Summer (Compliments of Shelby)!
Feel free to send it to friends, or put it on your Facebook/LinkedIn/Google+, etc.
If you’d like to create a Meetup, so that you have people to go with or meet you there? Log onto San Diego Foodies, join and send me a note about what you’re interested in being an Assistant Organizer for.
And don’t forget the 4 most important dates: June 16, 21, 28 and 30! Come see me at The Fairgrounds Cooking (Infield Pavilion Stage)!
Happy Eating,
Chef Marian
