Grand Ole BBQ, Flinn Springs

September 30, 2018 by The Foodie Whisperer Leave a Comment

Grand Ole BBQ Flinn Springs

You can ignore the sign at the street for now.  It’s about the only thing Grand Ole BBQ, Flinn Springs hasn’t breathed fresh life into at their new location while waiting for the ever so sense-of-urgency challenged minions of bureaucracy to give their royal assent to open.   Meanwhile, on some recent weekends, those in…

Lola 55, Tacos & Cocktails in San Diego’s East Village

August 23, 2018 by The Foodie Whisperer Leave a Comment

Lola 55 tacos & cocktails

Calling Lola 55 a taco shop is akin to calling a hurricane an autumn shower. You may be technically correct and even able to fool yourself for a hot minute until the full force and fury of the spices, acids and myriad textures you’ll encounter here permanently change your reality…from the inside out. Now feeding…

Tribute Pizza – In Its Own Zip Code

November 1, 2017 by The Foodie Whisperer Leave a Comment

Tribute Pizza Charcuterie

My two trips, thus far, to Tribute Pizza in North Park are bracketed by two distinct points in time that, taken in the context of the visits, document a journey, perhaps a revelation, verging on a conversion. The first moment, speaking of journeys, was about 46 minutes into what turned into a traffic laden hour…

Patrick Ponsaty Commands 1500 Ocean

October 4, 2017 by The Foodie Whisperer Leave a Comment

Patrick Ponsaty lobster claw on lobster crudo

A few hours after French Master Chef Patrick Ponsaty first stepped into the 1500 Ocean kitchen at Hotel Del Coronado on a late August Saturday afternoon, he sent me a text saying, “Lots to do.  Still working on new concept.  I will let u know.” That was in response to my badgering, errrm, asking him…

Flying Pig Pub & Kitchen, Destination: Vista

July 19, 2017 by The Foodie Whisperer Leave a Comment

Flying Pig Pug & Kitchen fried chicken sando

The more life I live, the more things I forget that I thought I used to know.  Then, after an extended, mostly subconscious, journey of searching for that thing I lost, I sometimes find myself almost where I started.  Almost.  Older and wiser, hopefully, with a different outlook, so, not quite the same, but, well,…

Chef Tae Dickey, Bridging continents through Biga

April 10, 2017 by The Foodie Whisperer Leave a Comment

Biga Charcuterie

The only reason I hadn’t gotten to Biga in downtown San Diego sooner is that I thought it was about the pizza.   And, pizza, as a sole purpose, is not enough reason for me to head downtown. Then, I met Chef Tae Dickey, owner and executive chef at Biga.  Chatting a couple of minutes with…

Ponsaty’s French Dinner Series…Breaking the Wintry Chill

March 6, 2017 by The Foodie Whisperer Leave a Comment

ponsatys french dinner series crabe txangurro

Call it a lull, a pause, a plateau…hopefully not a rut…that the San Diego restaurant scene has been mired in for most of the last chilly, rainy quarter of a year.  When one major food writer in town resorts to an entire series on salt and pepper and another does a take down of a…

Tidal – A Walk on the Lighter Side

January 26, 2017 by The Foodie Whisperer Leave a Comment

Tidal foie gras poptart

It’s no secret by now that I love flavor.  And, by flavor, most of the time I mean salt.  I was that kid in the school lunchroom who’d fill his palm with the table salt shaker and lick it as an accompaniment to my PB & J or ham & cheese sandwich, with equal measures…

Complex, Yet Welcoming Flavors at The Hake

January 19, 2017 by The Foodie Whisperer Leave a Comment

Lobster Masala The Hake

There were a lot of “I don’t know’s” heading into dinner at The Hake.  A chef friend had mentioned that she couldn’t wait to see what Chef Aarti Sanghavi was up to at the newly renovated and re-opened The Hake in La Jolla.  I kinda nodded, smiled and murmured something like, “Yeaaa…I’ll have to check ’em out, too.”…

Garden Kitchen – Neighborhood Dining at its Best

December 8, 2016 by The Foodie Whisperer Leave a Comment

Garden Kitchen Spiny Lobster

Once you’ve been to Garden Kitchen, it’s easy to imagine yourself spending more time in the Rolando area.  Frankly, I’ve never seen Rolando by daylight and don’t know what else it has to offer besides Garden Kitchen.  But, if you’ve got a favorite neighborhood joint, you’ll find Garden Kitchen is reminiscent of THAT place. You know…that…
