Lunch at Nine Ten
2008-01-29 22:42:00 Since Maia’s arrival, I have had no interest in going out to dinner. Of course all of our friends and relatives have offered to babysit so that we can have a “date night.” But seriously, by the time I get Maia down, all I want to do is go down myself. ...

Our new column for SD Lawyer Mag
2008-01-22 23:07:00 For those that missed it, we have launched a bi-monthly column for the San Diego Lawyer Journal called “Order.” It will usually feature a restaurant review, food/dining discussion and inside tips. The magazine is mailed out to members of the San Diego bar so it will be somewhat limited distribution. But ... More About: General , Column , Front Page
Our Sunday Morning Ritual?
2008-01-20 22:14:00 Thinking about places we always go for food, we thought about our Sunday ritual. It occasionally involves Lalo’s Breakfast burritos, but almost always involves Crepes or other goodies at the Hillcrest Farmer’s Market. Many months ago, Alice Q. Foodie wrote this post about the Hillcrest Farmer’s Market and all of its wonders. ... More About: Morning , Ritual , Sunday morning , Front Page
A little more on Nobu?
2008-01-14 16:36:00 Last week, I had the opportunity to go back to Nobu to try a few more dishes. Brother Josh and I grabbed a bite there and had a wonderful time. We had three items I had enjoyed the first time I went, the Hamachi Sashimi with Cilantro and Jalapeno, Kobe Gyoza (which Josh ... More About: Front Page
Goldenspoon is coming to Hillcrest!
2008-01-05 23:25:00 When I was prego and could eat nothing but frozen yogurt, I was astonished to find that there was no frozen yogurt in the Hillcrest area! Since then, a few Pinkberry knock-offs have opened shop in the hood and just the other day I saw a “Golden Spoon coming soon” banner in the ... More About: General , Front Page
No mulah, No bu.
2007-12-31 15:18:00 Ever since the Hard Rock Hotel’s signature restaurant opened downtown, Krista and I have been talking about checking it out (she still raves about the meals she had at Matsuhisha’s when she lived in LA). Sadly, Maia thwarted our efforts for some time. But luckily, I had a client dinner a couple nights ... More About: San Diego , Front Page
WhatWeDig.com?s First Anniversary
2007-12-23 03:32:00 WhatWeDig.com’s first anniversary passed on December 8 without any fanfare. Frankly, we both knew we launched this thing December, but were not quite sure about the precise date. We hope you have enjoyed our posts thus far and look forward to another year of good eating. We’ll also be launching a new look ... More About: Anniversary , General , Front Page
The curse of certain restaurant locations?
2007-12-15 17:56:00 We all see it from time to time in our various neighborhoods, a storefront where many restaurants have tried, but most have failed. One location that particularly stands out is the location of the Palomino Restaurant at the Hyatt Aventine in UTC, where at least three other failed restaurants that have occupied that same location ...

Opera Patisserie on Fifth Ave no more?
2007-12-12 22:29:00 I found myself downtown without lunch plans today and decided to swing by Opera Patisserie to grab a nice croissant sandwich. To my horror, the place was closed, windows had not been cleaned in a while and there was nothing in their display case. The rest of the restaurant looked normal, but given ...
Would you like some food with your wine?
2007-12-06 22:07:00 Friend and colleague Larry has been touting the good food and wine selection at The 3rd Corner in Ocean Beach. We were finally able to get together for a nice long lunch there yesterday. Krista was a tad jealous at first, but she was pleased when I returned home with a case of wine. ...

Some new favorites at Ortega?s
2007-11-29 18:42:00 Since Maia’s arrival, I am all about dining within walking distance of our home. This way, I can just put the little peanut in the stroller as opposed to dealing with the car seat drama. Also, it’s a good way to get in a little exercise. So, there have been lots of ...

2007-11-25 17:22:00 We received this email from KPBS a while back and just submitted a recipe for it this morning (we went with our Arroz con Pollo favorite).

Tía Dia?s Morning Mush Recipe?a rough guide to modern-day muesli
2007-11-23 16:55:00 When Tia Dia stayed with us, she prepared this wonderful breakfast that included soaked oats, yogurt, fresh fruits — healthy goodness. I was skeptical, but really liked. Krista has been eating this for breakfast pretty much non-stop ever since. This is a healthy, delicious breakfast idea which is also inexpensive and easy ...

No more Bud?s.. Sigh..
2007-11-22 20:15:00 We were saddened to hear that Bud’s Louisiana Food Shope has closed its doors. Apparently, the rent increased dramatically over the last couple years. The folks at Bud’s plan on searching for a new location, but until they do we will be down one very good Cajun spot. The owners did say that they will ... More About: General , Sigh , Front Page
Why yes, that is an iPhone?
2007-11-22 20:09:00 You can say it, I am weak and cannot resist the latest new gadget. But I did hold out for 3 months and did not buy my iPhone until after the price drop! Now that I have said that… I must say, to quote Ferris Bueller, “it is so choice, if you ... More About: Iphone

What?s a foodie with a four week old to do?
2007-11-16 21:31:00 Most of you have probably noticed that since Maia joined us, we have been doing more lunch based reviews. While Maia’s sleep schedule is fairly predictable during the day, evenings are bit more unpredictable making dining in a high end restaurant difficult without a babysitter ready. So we have been doing a lot ... More About: Week , Front Page
Burger Lounge - Solid, but not quite among the best burgers in town.
2007-11-13 20:40:00 Long time readers know that one of our favorite pastimes is searching for the better burger. On our list of top burgers in San Diego are the Drug Store Burger at The Torrey Pines Grill, the Cheeseburger at Rocky’s, and the Bacon Cheeseburger at Hodad’s. The Burger Lounge , which has opened locations in ... More About: Town , Burgers

2007-11-08 04:35:00 When we were at one of our favorite clothing stores, Kate Ross, the owner mentioned the new restaurant Urban Solace , around the corner on 30th Street at University. We took a look and we loved the exterior and interior look of the place — a French Quarter exterior and an interior of dark woods ... More About: Cold , Front Page
Bale French Sandwiches
2007-10-30 16:22:00 Some time ago, we read an article by City Beat’s Candice Woo about her favorite sandwich places. At the top of her list, Bale French Sandwich in Linda Vista. Krista read the article first. By way of background, there is a place in UTC Mall called Saigon Noodles (I know, I know, ... More About: Sandwiches , Front Page
A week of home cooking thanks to Tia Dia
2007-10-28 03:20:00 My sister Dia stayed with us our first week home after Maia’s birth and cooked for us every night. Boy oh boy did we eat well. So well that I am now encouraging Dia to open up a cafe in San Fransisco where she and her husband live. Here is the menu we were ... More About: Cooking , General , Home , Week , Front Page
We?re ok and we hope everyone is?
2007-10-24 03:56:00 Hello all, We have received inquiries from out of town friends and readers about the state of things in San Diego. Thankfully, the family is safe and sound outside any fire areas and we are not under any evacuation orders. The air quality is terrible, so we have pretty much stayed locked in doors with windows ...

Opera makes me want to sing?
2007-10-23 17:37:00 Ever since we saw pictures of the macaroons and read about Opera Patisserie Fines on Alice Q. Foodie’s Blog and other places, we have been dying to try it. We finally made it there for lunch and ran back soon thereafter for breakfast. We have loved just about everything we have tried so far. Located ... More About: San Diego , Lunch , Sing , Bakery

Blanca es bueno?
2007-10-08 15:21:00 Gil has been dying to try Blanca in Solana Beach for months now but I am generally way too lazy to haul up to North County. So, when his birthday arrived, which meant picking the restaurant of his choice with no input from me, Blanca it was. And boy did he make ... More About: Blog
Top Chef Finale
2007-10-05 05:21:00 We said early on Hung was the man to beat and it turns out he was unbeatable. The finale involved head to head competitions in four courses.

Meat is good? Pete?s Meats
More articles from this author:2007-10-04 04:47:00 When I lived in Boston, street vendors made the best Italian sausage sandwiches. On the way to Fenway Park, these vendors line the streets and the smell is amazing. Boston sausage sandwich vendors also parked themselves outside all the popular bars starting at around 10pm, so when you stumbled out of ... More About: Meat , Blog , Good , Pete , Meats 1, 2, 3, 4 |
