Friends think I should rent a condo in Convoy as I’m in that area at least two times a week. To eat. Like, seriously. For food. I’ve seen signs for Char House over the last few months and was curious to see what this new Vietnamese restaurant had to offer. Note to self and to… Read More Char House: Saigon Grill and Pho – San Diego, CA

I’m trying to remember how and when I was introduced to the wonderful goodness of octopus fritters. We didn’t eat takoyaki much when we were little and I think I only started eating them after college. I came across Okada-ya Takoyaki at the Mira Mesa Farmers Market many years ago. I was tentative, back then, to… Read More Okada-Ya Takoyaki – Mira Mesa (Farmer’s Market)

Even my impatient mom, who RARELY waits on any list for a restaurant, came here first one night to put her name on the wait list. We waited AN HOUR AND 20 MINUTES… Read More YAKITORI YAKYUDORI
CDJ’s mom was in town and they wanted to take me to dinner. So he suggested PrepKitchen in Del Mar. I’ve been there once or twice in the past and thought the food was ok.

There are few times in life that you get to meet a great group of new people that you just *click* with. And last night, I had just that. It felt more like being in a friend’s living room with his family cooking in the kitchen.
