We’ll review anything if you offer us free food. Case in point. Of course, I go here anyway, I just don’t really review it anymore, but this is an exception to a rule that doesn’t actually exist.
I went to Panera Bread last week to meet my business partner for a little chat. Panera’s an excellent [...]

 

I’ve lived in San Diego just about all of my life, and I hadn’t been here until last year. What’s wrong with me? Do I not love pancakes? No. That’s not it. I was just sheltered. I thought IHOP was decent enough in the past, but now I know better. There’s places like the Original [...]

 

h. salt, esq.

07Aug08

I was sitting at a red light on Tustin Avenue in Orange, staring at all of the random small businesses, when I saw a storefront tucked deep into a small strip mall that I probably wouldn’t have seen if my car was moving. It had a bright yellow sign that read, “H. Salt Esq.,” [...]

 

I recently ate a lot of food at BJ’s. A lot. I might still be full.
My friends and I were going over to the indie La Jolla cinemas over on the lonelier (but just as hard to find parking) Whole Foods side of La Jolla Village Square and decided we might as well go to [...]

 

Unlike mega chain Starbucks, It’s a Grind is well, a smaller chain. At least compared to Starbucks and compared to the number of locations in San Diego. I had a small hunch it was a chain, but I didn’t really know it until the internet confirmed my suspicions. In any case, it was still [...]

I had just gone there when I saw her post about it, which reminded me that I was sitting on my own unused Cheeburger Cheeburger pictures and comments. If we had any sort of quantified ratings, mine would be slightly higher than hers. [...]

 

yogurt world

01Mar08

I also went to Yogurt World today.
I had noticed they had a sign for this place up for about a month or so, “Yogurt World - Coming Soon”. I only noticed that it was opening today because they had those guys dressed up in Chinese Dragon costumes dancing around the outside and inside of the [...]

 

croutons

24Feb08

I was in the La Jolla area yesterday scoping out the annual cake show that the San Diego Cake Club puts on every year. I was hungry and my lunch date bailed on me so I was on my own for food. I decided to just wing it and head on over to La Jolla [...]

 

I spotted this place in December when I was in Carmel Mountain Ranch getting my oil changed over my meager Christmas break. I was killing time by going to Pier One and noticed this funny little diner that wasn’t there before. It’s a 50’s style diner tucked into a little location. I think what really [...]
