Sabor de Baja 2018

August 31, 2018 by The Foodie Whisperer Leave a Comment

Sabor de Baja

If white is the absence of all color, it is also the singular indicator of light.  As a Summer swan song, Sabor de Baja, bedecked in light, and white, checks all the right food and wine boxes on a late summer night.  Originally conceived as a late summer party in the beachside ville of Rosarito, Mexico…

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…

The Demise of Ponsaty’s, the Restaurant?

July 25, 2017 by The Foodie Whisperer Leave a Comment

Ponsaty's Spanish Tuna

Less than ten minutes after walking into Ponsaty’s last week, I walked out. Something fishy was happening and it wasn’t the special Spanish Tuna dinner I had been looking forward to for over a month.  Instead, I left the restaurant far hungrier than when I arrived. But, now, I was craving answers after ingesting a crudo…

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…

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…

Oxtail “Buco” Recipe

November 21, 2016 by The Foodie Whisperer Leave a Comment

Oxtail Buco recipe

This recipe is mostly because I love oxtail and it was raining yesterday.  It’ll make you feel warm inside and out on a cold day.  It is similar to an Osso Buco, except with red wine instead of white and oxtail instead of veal.  Don’t be afraid to adjust the seasonings as you cook this…

Bull and Grain. In Need. In Deed.

November 17, 2016 by The Foodie Whisperer Leave a Comment

Bull and Grain Mussels

I happened to catch a glimpse of Chef Daniel Barron through the kitchen door at Bull and Grain, one of Hillcrest’s newest casual dining spots.  That’s all there was to see.  How two to four cooks sling food for a dining room and patio full of guests in a space smaller than the armoire I and my wardrobe have…

Culinary Hedonism, Marshmallows and Octopus

November 3, 2016 by The Foodie Whisperer Leave a Comment

culinary hedonism table

An Evening of Culinary Hedonism…and, so much more. I remember a salmon dish my Dad always ordered at a favorite spot.  The memory makes me smile.  Mostly, because of my Dad.  But, also, because of that salmon.  You probably have memories like that, too.  The special kind, wrapped in and around food, startling in their…
