SAN DIEGO CITYBEAT: What it means when the Michelin Guide comes to San Diego

March 20, 2019 mgardiner

It began with a few conversations, almost hushed, amongst industry types. “Michelin inspectors have been spotted in L.A.” I first heard it from a local chef. Then again from a fellow food writer. Before long the rumors were everywhere. It made no sense: The Michelin Guide … [Read more...]

CITY BEAT FOOD ISSUE: Sushi Stop (All Sushi, All the Time)

August 10, 2018 mgardiner

You’ve heard of the pescatarian diet (covered elsewhere in this issue), as well as the raw food diet (vegan, with no foodstuffs raised over 118 degrees Fahrenheit). Me? I thought a cross between those was a far better approach. The best of both worlds: I call it the All-Sushi … [Read more...]

CITYBEAT RESTAURANT GUIDE 2017: Off the Strip (San Diego’s best Asian food outside the Convoy District)

February 7, 2017 mgardiner

When most people think about Asian food in San Diego they think about the Convoy District. They’re certainly not all wrong to do so. San Diego doesn’t have a “Chinatown” or a “Little Tokyo” (though it does, supposedly, have a “Little Saigon”). In a sense, though, the Convoy is … [Read more...]
