Like so many other food and drink holidays that are celebrated in the United States, very few Americans actually know the significance and history behind these celebrations. I mentioned it before with St. Patrick’s Day and, in my opinion, the Cinco de Mayo celebration has to be next. Cinco de Mayo, or May 5, commemorates [...]
This industry certainly has its perks and tasting great wine is just one. Last week, I had the great pleasure of sailing around San Diego harbor while tasting the flight and library of one of the best vineyards and wineries today. For more than twenty-five years, Ferrari-Carano Vineyards and Winery has been one of the [...]
There will always be fundraisers and good causes. When you think about it, there seems to be one for everything. People get very passionate, as they should, about their charities and some industries today even have created their own. This year, we will celebrate the 6th annual event called Dining Out For Life.

Prospect Street in La Jolla is filled with loads of restaurants and shops. Fabulous art galleries and jewelry shops are nestled between high-end restaurants and hotels. Some of the best views of the ocean can be experienced from these places. Even though white tablecloth restaurants have seen their day, there are still a few that [...]

If you look around our [...]

Every year it comes round, people line up outside bars and restaurants so they can start drinking and eating the day away. It is a remarkable sight and every city does it differently. In San Diego, we of course [...]
In the ’90s from Seinfeld to Friends, coffeehouses were all the rage. Today, although television has gone more reality, coffeehouses in our own reality still exist in full force. In San Diego, every neighborhood has one of their own. They are all unique and offer a variety of styles and I love to support their [...]
Food trends are something I have seen and written about for years. You have your fads of what’s hot every year and what’s not. Some of the biggest I can remember are the explosion of sun-dried tomatoes on every menu, cosmo’s on every bar and the use of exotic fruits in every sauce made. There [...]
