July 7, 2020 mgardiner

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: An Italian moment, simply, at Caffè San Luca

June 4, 2019 mgardiner

San Diego is having an Italian moment. Still, despite having a “Little Italy” and a Gaslamp District once silly with Italian joints, local Italian food offerings over the past several decades have been disappointing. And while some recent high-profile Italian openings have … [Read more...]

Italian restaurants in San Diego have tended to fall into one of three categories: 1.) American-Italian joints with cheap red sauce and bad pizza; 2.) middle-of-the-road copycat spots (think early ’90s Gaslamp or Little Italy a decade later), or; 3.) stuffy, pretentious and often … [Read more...]

WORLD FARE: Assenti’s Pasta is a fresh alternative to Valentine’s Day dining

February 5, 2019 mgardiner

The restaurant industry pretty much hates Valentine’s Day. Of course, the restaurant industry doesn’t hate it so much that they’d ever consider actually closing for the occasion. No. Instead, they passive-aggressively stuff butts in seats (albeit at 2-tops, not 4-tops), charge a … [Read more...]
