Every year, Eater San Diego closes out the year by surveying local food writers about their take on the past year in the San Diego dining scene. And every year for the past three years I’ve been a part of it. It is a year-end tradition that I enjoy. Here is the first installment of this year’s version asking us to name the year’s top restaurant newcomers: http://sandiego.eater.com/2016/12/27/14089570/san-diego-top-restaurant-newcomers-of-2016
My answer: “It would be tempting to say Herb & Wood and, if “top restaurant newcomer” means “most likely to be a fixture for years to come,” then that might be the best answer. But my answer is 608 in Oceanside. Chef Willy Eick is young, creative and definitely one to watch for the future.”
