SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE: How Bánh Mì Stacks Up

April 1, 2020 mgardiner

According to legend the sandwich was invented in England in 1762 when John Montagu, Fourth Earl of Sandwich, demanded his valet bring him salt beef between two slices of bread. His idea was simple: he wanted to dine without pausing his all-night poker session or, perhaps worse, … [Read more...]

WORLD FARE: Delicious Opulence at Animae

November 22, 2019 mgardiner

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...]

WORLD FARE: Surprising sushi in a Tijuana speakeasy

September 4, 2018 mgardiner

Finding good food in Tijuana is neither difficult nor surprising. Caesar salad? It was invented there. Tacos? Uh, yeah. TJ’s one of the best taco towns anywhere. High-end sushi? Eh, maybe some mariscosor some cheap Sinaloan “sushi,” but up until last month—when Chef Pedro Velardo … [Read more...]
