I am thrilled to finally reveal the cover of my cookbook, MODERN KOSHER: Global Flavors, New Traditions. The book is scheduled for release by Rizzoli New York on September 8, 2020. It may seem that working on this with all that’s been happening in the world would have been … [Read more...]

WORLD FARE: It’s worth the wait at Antojitos Mary Cristy

July 30, 2019 mgardiner

If a city has a public market, it’s a good bet it’s a great place to get a bite to eat. In fact, those markets are usually crawling with great casual dining options. Oddly, that hasn’t always been the case at the Mercado Los Globos in Ensenada. One of the standout exceptions, … [Read more...]

WORLD FARE: Excellence under the arbor at Animalón

July 4, 2019 mgardiner

In July 2013, I wrote, “the best restaurant in our region may not be in San Diego… it may not even be in this country.” At that time, I was referring to Javier Plascencia’s Misión 19 in Tijuana. Now, though, it may not even be the best restaurant in Plascencia’s empire. And this … [Read more...]

WORLD FARE: At Raíces, a young chef shows how good he can get

June 18, 2019 mgardiner

There are many ways to evaluate a chef. From Michelin stars and James Beard nods, to technical prowess and business acumen, there is no singular or definitive right way. For me, though, one of the surest ways to assess a chef’s skill in the kitchen is their vegetable cookery. By … [Read more...]

WORLD FARE: Morocco meets Mexico at Medina

May 17, 2019 mgardiner

Located just under the name on the façade of Medina (2850 El Cajon Blvd.) are the words “Moroccan Baja Kitchen.” That same billing is on the North Park eatery’s website and most articles about the restaurant describe how it “fuses the cuisines of Morocco and Baja.” It’s a … [Read more...]
