Live, local rock crabs(Photo credit: Anda Bailey) You’re not a true San Diegan until you’ve experienced, and fallen madly in love with, our farmers’ markets. There is truly nothing like a beautiful, sunny Saturday morning in San Diego than going to the Mercato in Little Italy. San Diego’s largest farmers’ market comes to [...] 
San Diego’s finest were called upon to “have a heart” last Wednesday, February 6, and show their support for Kids Korps USA.

On Thursday December 13, Andaz San Diego hosted their final “salon” event of 2012 with a craft beer and cheese pairing. This event brought together two well-loved local companies: Green Flash Brewing and Venissimo Cheese. I am a huge fan of both beer and cheese, but this event exceeded my expectations with the depth [...] 
“Cardboard”, “hockey puck”, “tasteless.” I’ll take “words that often describe gluten-free baked goods” for $200, Alex! Yes, sadly the gluten-free varieties of our favorite cakes, cookies, breakfast pastries, and breads have gotten a bad wrap over the years.

In the pastry world, it’s safe to say that cupcakes reign supreme, and with places like Sprinkles, SusieCakes and Magnolia Bakery boasting the most delicious confectionery creations, it’s not difficult to see why. But I think it’s time to allow [...] The city of San Diego is well known for its abundance of locally grown food and assortment of sustainable merchandise. Every single day of the week small companies from the area come together to host farmers’ markets throughout the county. There are booths lined up and down the streets with an array of products [...] 
Photo Credit: Halcyon Tea Why belly up to the bar after a long work week when you can saunter into Halcyon and sip and sample a brew or two – of tea that is. Tucked away on a quaint corner in trendy South Park, Halcyon Tea is the perfect destination to ease into [...] 
As a bread lover, I must recommend Con Pane Rustic Breads and Café. Featured on numerous food blogs as well as San Diego Magazine’s 2010 Best of San Diego, I was lucky enough to stumble upon this lovely café. The smell of fresh bread surrounds neighboring blocks. Whether you are craving a fresh sourdough [...] |
