SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE: Unrushed Rice

August 7, 2019 mgardiner

“The sushi was wonderful,” mom said as we walked toward the door after another sushi-for-Mother’s Day brunch. My wife and I knew that wasn’t exactly so and said as much to each other with our eyes. We’d sourced the fish impeccably and cut it competently, neither of which changed … [Read more...]

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...]

WORLD FARE: Pasta without pretension at Monzù

February 25, 2019 mgardiner

Italian restaurants in San Diego have tended to fall into one of three categories: 1.) American-Italian joints with cheap red sauce and bad pizza; 2.) middle-of-the-road copycat spots (think early ’90s Gaslamp or Little Italy a decade later), or; 3.) stuffy, pretentious and often … [Read more...]

WORLD FARE: Lobster West rolls a different way

December 6, 2017 mgardiner

"Authenticity” is a word some foodies love. It’s the magic juice that lends weight to opinion and gives prejudice the power of authority. Calling a place “inauthentic” is almost the equivalent of labeling it “worthless.” Is it just? Is it right? Those are questions raised, and … [Read more...]
