S and I love burgers, and luckily for us, San Diego is filled with awesome burger joints. Our favorite is Hodad’s, but sometimes we just want to avoid the long lines and sort-of far drive. We recently tried out Bao’s Awesome Burgers & Sandwiches, aka BABS, on Convoy St. It’s located in the A Cafe/ [...]
S and I went on a spontaneous date last Thursday – normally we play badminton after work until 9:30 or so, and then have a late dinner somewhere. As we were going home from work, I mentioned that I had to go to the UTC Westfield mall to pick up my CSA box from the [...]
Project Pie is a fast-casual, customize-your-own pizza restaurant. The first location was in Las Vegas, and they recently opened up another shop in Hillcrest. I was really intrigued because many people have called it the Chipotle or Subway of pizza, where you can choose all the toppings you want for pizza. After reading the posts [...]
One of my favorite brunch places in San Diego is Urban Solace – I really love the flavors and ingredients there. It’s slightly heavier than many other popular brunch spots (e.g. The Cottage), but S and I tend to like that more. So, when I saw the Kirbie’s Cravings post on its sister restaurant in Encinitas, [...]
A couple of my friends have been talking about taking us to check out the San Diego-area casino buffets for quite some time – it’s pretty cheap, and you get a lot of decent food. S and I have hesitated for a long time because it is pretty far out from where we live, but [...]
Brunch is one of my favorite meals – relaxing atmosphere and comfort food, accompanied by good conversations. It’s been a while since I had the time to enjoy brunch, so recently I made plans with a girl friend to check out Fig Tree Cafe in PB. I had a Groupon deal, and it seemed like [...]
When my mom visited San Diego a few weeks ago, she cooked up a storm in my kitchen – I’d get home from work to a delicious-smelling home, and it was awesome. After she left, our fridge was packed full of food, which we happily ate for many days afterwards. There were homemade dumplings, braised [...]
A while back, I purchased a Groupon deal for AVE 5 Restaurant & Bar, which has been on my bookmarks list for quite some time. Recently, S and I finally found a chance to go out for a date night (and redeem the Groupon before it expired). We had a great meal, but also some [...]
Regents Pizzeria is a pretty low-key-looking, but quite famous little restaurant located in the UTC area. S and I live quite close, but we don’t visit very often for some reason. I’ve ordered their pizza a few times and really enjoyed them, but I’ve actually never dined inside the restaurant until recently. It’s a pretty [...]
I’ve been wanting to try Oceanaire for quite some time now – ever since Kirbie recommended it to us as one of her San Diego favorites. I was waiting to go during Restaurant Week, but a good friend from college was visiting SD and wanted to take us there, so off we went to the [...]
