Cafe Bleu is stuck

Cafe Bleu still has better mussels and steak frites than Cafe Chloe - and for almost half the price. And, you can't beat their hospitality. For a neighborhood joint (and, there are many great restaurants to choose from in Mission Hills / Hillcrest), I rate them one of the best in terms of food quality at more than reasonable prices - and without the pretension of a lot of other places. The portions are more than generous, and for $13.95, the Coq Au Vin is "good" enough to be at LEAST $5 more.

Do You Live Close to Snoop Dogg?

Finally - a voice of truth! A Tri-City native myself, people are earnestly shocked when I tell them there is more to North County San Diego than sandy beaches and laid back surfers. A lot more. Drunken beach fights - check. Meth houses - check. Double homicide - check. DEA agents breaking in my neighbors windows 5 feet from me - check. And this was all before I was 7. Maybe if the CVB painted an accurate picture, the next batch of east coast transplants that hope to descend upon our great county and quickly cop an unwarranted, though vocal disdain for locals will head to Laguna Beach instead. Here's hoping.
