WORLD FARE: Delicious Opulence at Animae

I was suspicious of Animae (969 Pacific Highway, Downtown). The cross-cultural Asian fusion concept seemed so very 20 years ago, and not necessarily in a good way. We’d been there before, as had Brian Malarkey with Burlap. Did we really need to do go there again? Then I took one … [Read more...]

SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE: Unrushed Rice

“The sushi was wonderful,” mom said as we walked toward the door after another sushi-for-Mother’s Day brunch. My wife and I knew that wasn’t exactly so and said as much to each other with our eyes. We’d sourced the fish impeccably and cut it competently, neither of which changed … [Read more...]

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

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: Different ways to roll at Goi Cuon

Mention “spring rolls” and most locals will immediately think of the familiar shrimp and pork varieties served as appetizers at pho restaurants all over town. But gỏi cuốn—“spring rolls” in Vietnamese—isn’t so much a single dish as they are a whole class of dishes. And Goi … [Read more...]

WORLD FARE: A tale of opulence and restraint at Addison

In the run-up to Michelin’s California Guide, there was a lot of local speculation about whether Addison Restaurant (5200 Grand Del Mar Way) would be awarded one of Michelin’s coveted stars. Some skeptics thought it (and San Diego) would be shut out altogether. Others predicted … [Read more...]
