Puesto

in Comfort, Drink, Healthy, Meaty Goodness, United States, Vegetarian, Mexican, San Diego, CA 2 comments

San Diego, CA (The Joy of Food) — Yes folks, I like Puesto. If you have followed the Puesto story over the years, you will probably know it to be a trendy Mexican-American front-runner in San Diego that excels at food, drinks, and ambiance. These are trophy tacos given an […]

Taste of the Himalayas

in Carbapalooza, Comfort, Healthy, United States, Indian, Vegetarian, Nepalese, San Diego, CA 2 comments

San Diego, CA (The Joy of Food) — From the outside, Taste of the Himalayas looks more like a dry cleaner or a payday loan service than a place serving food, tucked away in a corner spot in one of those suburban strip malls where everything is the color of […]

Veracruz All Natural

in Breakfast and Pastry, Austin, TX, Comfort, Healthy, United States, Vegetarian, Mexican 2 comments

Austin, TX (The Joy of Food) — As is the case with many popular dining destinations in Austin, at Veracruz All Natural your meal will come off the back of a truck. And here, it’s not just any truck, but a converted school bus with a fully functioning kitchen inside. […]

Hemenway’s Restaurant

in American, Gone Fishing, Healthy, United States, Providence, RI 4 comments

Providence, RI (The Joy of Food) — Just down the road from Providence Memorial Park overlooking the river and across from the Old Stone Bank is the seafood gem known as Hemenway’s, its dining room a throwback to a different era, its patio the epitome of serenity. There are worse […]

The Slanted Door

in Gone Fishing, Healthy, United States, Vegetarian, San Francisco, CA, Vietnamese 3 comments

San Francisco, CA (The Joy of Food) — On my most recent trip to northern California, I was communing with nature at Yosemite and desperately seeking two things: a wifi signal and food not meant for prisoners. A return visit to the Slanted Door — my favorite restaurant in San […]

Cloak & Petal

in Dessert, Drink, Gone Fishing, Healthy, United States, Japanese, San Diego, CA 3 comments

San Diego, CA (The Joy of Food) — I’d avoided Cloak & Petal for a long time as a serious sushi contender in San Diego, given its presence in what’s supposed to be an Italian-centric area. Little Italy in name only now, it’s filled with trendy steak houses, modern burger […]

Oscars Mexican Seafood

in Gone Fishing, Healthy, United States, Mexican, San Diego, CA 1 comment

San Diego, CA (The Joy of Food) — In San Diego, there may be more places to eat tacos than there are fast-food stops. Taco stands; food trucks; guys on the corner with a grill and meats in their trunk; places that specialize in Baja-style fish tacos or street tacos; […]

Obicà Mozzarella Bar

in Carbapalooza, Comfort, Healthy, United States, Los Angeles, CA, The Milky Way, Italian 1 comment

Los Angeles, CA (The Joy of Food) — A trough of cheese is the happiest of lunches for me, but some accompanying tapenade, pestos, vegetables, and salumi can make the meal more well-rounded. They use the good stuff here. Obicà achieved a small reputation as the world’s first mozzarella bar […]

San Diego, CA (The Joy of Food) — The TJ Oyster Bar is a classic hole-in-the-sidewalk in one of those Bonita Road strip malls that mixes a food place or two, tax services, and a dry cleaner. This location is not to be confused with the TJ Oyster Bar sit-down […]
