I was on my way to lunch when I saw Chef Budda’s food truck.
Seafood
Pacific Catch
Most of the time I taste nothing. This time I tasted a mild but sweet flavor. A little like rainbow trout but much milder. I was extremely happy I could taste the flavor of the cod at Pacific Catch. Nice waitress told me they buy Alaskan cod that is sustainably caught.
Smitty’s Taste of the Bayou
I love food from the bayou and was excited to see Smitty’s in the new National City food hall.
Ember & Rye
I loved this spot when it was Argyle Steakhouse. Now celebrity chef Richard Blais is running things. The first change I notice is valet parking is $5. Bummer as we always parked in the close spots the valet now is in charge of.
California Fish Grill – Carmel Mountain
I remember this space. In the old days a Marie Callender’s was here. It was one of my favorite spots to get a chicken pot pie. I guess not enough people love chicken pot pie. I have returned as I was invited to the grand opening of CA Fish Grill. Nice employee outside checked me off […]
The Fancy Fish
Driving past Mira Mesa High my old high school I approach The Fancy Fish. It’s in what was the Ralphs shopping center. H-Mart replaced Ralphs in 2012. Past H-Mart I find The Fancy Fish. I remember this space. Dairy Queen was the first occupant. I started working at Ralphs during the grand opening […]
Nozomi – La Jolla
Nice outdoor seating area. I like the breeze coming from the ocean. I tried a few dishes.
Sushiya – Del Mar
I started eating at this mall when Carnitas Snack Shack opened here. They had some great tasting dishes and it was nice seeing Chef Hanis. I was sad when they closed.
