WORLD FARE: Hot pot’s ‘drier’ cousin at Sizzling Pot King

Hot pot is having its moment. It's a moment that was, perhaps, crowned when Anthony Bourdain sang its praises and wielded it like a weapon in Eric Ripert's direction on the Sichuan episode of Bourdain's Parts Unknown CNN show. But the brothy, dip-it-yourself stuff depicted in … [Read more...]

THRILLIST:  San Diego’s 10 Best Neighborhoods for Dining Out, Ranked

San Diego’s city fathers and mothers (not to mention planners) are keen on telling us that ours is a “City of Neighborhoods.” They lied when they said it, and they lie now. San Diego is not a city of neighborhoods, never was, and cannot be for many reasons: Southern California … [Read more...]

WORLD FARE: No carts means better food at Emerald Chinese Cuisine

WORLD FARE:  No carts means better food at Emerald Chinese Cuisine

Becoming an adult is one part taking on responsibilities, one part shedding foolish romantic notions. When it comes to dim sum restaurants, one of those "foolish notions" is the romance of rolling carts. Losing them may be a blow, but it's not just a nod to commercial reality. It … [Read more...]

WORLD FARE:  A different kind of Chinese at Xian Kitchen

You know it's a different kind of Chinese restaurant when there's no rice on the menu. And Xian Kitchen (4690 Convoy St.) in the Convoy District is definitely that: a very different kind of Chinese restaurant. Thick and wide hand-pulled noodles? Absolutely. Rice? Not a … [Read more...]
