WORLD FARE: Battle of the burger chains

April 18, 2018 mgardiner

WORLD FARE: Battle of the burger chains

One’s a West Coast legend, the second is an East Coast behemoth and the third is a San Diego upstart. One is endorsed by a TV food celebrity, the second is created by one of the country’s top restaurateurs (Danny Meyer), and the third, well, it’s got pretty much no one famous … [Read more...]

WORLD FARE: No fattoush at Fattoush and it doesn’t even matter

Falafel is nearly ubiquitous in the Holy Land. Both Israelis and Palestinians claim it as their own, not unlike the land itself. The truth may be different—the deep-fried balls of chickpea and fava bean dough were probably first made in Egypt—but it’s unlikely there’s any better … [Read more...]

WORLD FARE — Gyu-Kaku: a Korean import by way of Japan

The relationship between Korea and Japan is, as they say, complicated. Annexations, wars, “comfort women” and other disputes get the headlines, but cultural exchange, national security and economic independence are still the rules. Still, a spare line in a textbook or hints of a … [Read more...]

WORLD FARE:  It’s The Friendly and it feels good

It’s pretty much the place everyone in San Diego’s food and beverage industry wants to go before his or her shift. Its reputation in the industry is so big that one local foodie who knew he was in legal trouble, just had to go there right before he was arrested. His final … [Read more...]
