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: Different ways to roll at Goi Cuon

July 23, 2019 mgardiner

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: 21st Century Filipino fare at Gaya Gaya

June 11, 2019 mgardiner

When she arrives at the table, she’s just so sexy: the bronzed skin, the way she looks just sitting there. Eating the crispy pata at Gaya Gaya (7580 Miramar Road) is like having sex for the first time. You can’t help but feel a little guilty about it, but it just feels so damn … [Read more...]

WORLD FARE: Morocco meets Mexico at Medina

May 17, 2019 mgardiner

Located just under the name on the façade of Medina (2850 El Cajon Blvd.) are the words “Moroccan Baja Kitchen.” That same billing is on the North Park eatery’s website and most articles about the restaurant describe how it “fuses the cuisines of Morocco and Baja.” It’s a … [Read more...]

WORLD FARE: Ly Heng reveals a Southeast Asian road less travelled

May 1, 2019 mgardiner

"Southeast Asian Cuisine” is one of those terms that seems to have more meaning than it actually does. No doubt it’s the food of lands that might be considered “Southeast Asian,” but that’s nearly tautological and reveals little about the foods. Ask 10 people and they probably … [Read more...]
