I remember this mall. Fresh out of college I worked at K-Mart which is now half Burlington Coat Factory and half Northgate Market. I ate here back when this restaurant was Lucky Star. Food was similar to Convoy St dim sum restaurants. Now the place is called Diamond Palace.

This year we visted the fair on opening day. We parked at Torrey Pines High School and took the free bus. The wait was only a few minutes. It was pretty quiet at the fair with no line to get in at 11:30am.

I remember the first time I had Chinese food in this area at Wendell Hom’s Teapot Inn. He opened it in 1966 and my brother worked there while he went to college at SDSU. It was dark and I loved the food there.

One of the things I look forward to each year is the Yelp Halloween party. You never know which Yelp friends you will see. This year I saw old Yelp CM’s Brad and Trish as well as Mia, Vin, Karen, Cesar, and Marilyn.
