CITYBEAT SUMMER GUIDE: Place your order

May 10, 2019 mgardiner

We may not have much of a winter in San Diego but two months of gray skies make summer’s arrival special. As May Gray descends on San Diego, now is a good time to figure out what’s on the docket after June Gloom leaves and summer actually does arrive. For many foodies, that means … [Read more...]

A World Fare-style Guide to World Cup Watching

June 20, 2018 mgardiner

The first “football” match was supposedly contested after a battle between Anglo-Saxon and Danish tribes using the severed head of the losing tribe’s King for a “ball.” While Andres Escobar paid a similar price for his own goal against the United States in 1994, things have … [Read more...]

WORLD FARE: Awash Ethiopian Restaurant is a hidden gem

January 30, 2018 mgardiner

If I didn’t know it was there, I would never think it was there. From the street, there’s just a huge sign reading “AWASH MARKET AND LIQUOR,” which implies a market rather than a restaurant. Even a step inside doesn’t suggest otherwise. But take the trouble to navigate past the … [Read more...]

WORLD FARE: No need for silverware at Harar Ethiopian

April 8, 2015 MAG Leave a Comment

The building housing Harar Ethiopian Restaurant (2432 El Cajon Blvd., City Heights) is barely more than a shack, though a colorful one. It wouldn't look entirely out of place at the perilous edges of Tijuana, or Addis Ababa. It's not clear that its large dining room would … [Read more...]

THE WORLD FARE (CityBeat): Play with your food at Muzita Abyssinian Bistro

June 25, 2013 MAG Leave a Comment

My mother always told me not to play with my food. Of course, my mother is neither Ethiopian nor Eritrean, and there were no local restaurants featuring those cuisines during my childhood. If there had been, she probably would have played with the food herself. And so it was that … [Read more...]
