True Food Kitchen Calling Coulon Back Home

Rooftop Brunch to Usher in Year Two at Pizza Port OB
It takes some businesses a long time to get off the ground. The same can't be said for Pizza Port's Ocean Beach brewpub. Since day one, the place has been heavily patronized (in a good way) by people from all …
T&O: Carla’s Summer Thirst-Quencher!
The Lovely Carla has learned a lot, living with me. Like, how to be a total cheapo. More important, how to make things look, feel, taste awesome, without paying out awesome amounts of dinero. But this has to take the …
If It's Not Illegal, It Should Be: Earthblend Tea & Coffee in Tierrasanta

Prep Kitchen: Tapa Time
Amazing how often I’ve crossed India, crossed Date, and never noticed this place. Only reason tonight is that people are sluicing in and climbing stairs like it was a religious revival meetin’ in town. Actually, it’s Prep Kitchen (1660 India …

Chatting with Nino Camilo, Founder of San Diego's I Love Poke Festival
http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2012/may/13/24299/ 2012 has been a Hawaiian kind of year for me. In February, I spent five days on the Big Island and in April, I spent five days in Maui. A few things have changed about me since then: I …
El Sol: Jewel of University Avenue
Made my usual mistake tonight: Got the 7 and the 15 buses confused. Was aboard the #7, and we turned right on University. Wrong! Pulled the cord and found myself down at the bottom of that slope and that whole …
Pizze, Pizze at Caffe Calabria
A while back, Ed Bedford wrote about the pizzas at Caffe Calabria in North Park. I’m always on the lookout for new places for a slice, and the pictures of the thin crust and fresh toppings seemed right up my …
A Sneak Peek at Vintana in Escondido
The media is often treated to construction stage, pre-open glimpses of works in progress called “hard hat tours.” They require a leap of faith and, often, a lot of imagination. This is particularly true when a venue is a little …
Baked Potato – TJ-style
Alex and I are sitting up to the counter watching Francisco and Victor working that hot plate. Four hands flailing, spatulas scooping, tortillas flapping, salsas pouring, lids clanging, steam soaring, plates flying…these guys!
