May 23, 2019 mgardiner

With their first restaurant, TRUST in Hillcrest, owner Steve Schwob and chef Brad Wise created a special place that featured “dishes that are a cut above yet grounded, technical but unpretentious and both passionate and deeply satisfying,” as I wrote in 2016 when they first … [Read more...]

WORLD FARE: Battle of the burger chains

April 18, 2018 mgardiner

One’s a West Coast legend, the second is an East Coast behemoth and the third is a San Diego upstart. One is endorsed by a TV food celebrity, the second is created by one of the country’s top restaurateurs (Danny Meyer), and the third, well, it’s got pretty much no one famous … [Read more...]
