Deconstructed Krab wraps

I know the title of the post sounda rather boring, unimaginative, and maybe even unappetizing,

but this wanna be chirashi sushi (made with that fake Krab stuff) still came out pretty damn good...

It's so easy, you don't really need a recipe but...

Father's Day recap

This will be just a quick post.

This is how we spent Father's Day...

Lunch was Bert's choice...

Deli SA

As you head east on Clairemont Mesa Blvd, past Ranch 99, you might see this sign on your left. If you pass it, you will be near the freeway exit which means you've gone too far.

(this was taken on the way out, actually)

I was curious to pick up some of their savory pies to enjoy later...

Eclipse Brunch revisited

Another one of my almost forgotten Spring Break posts...

We finally decided to make use of Bert's "winning ticket" from Eclipse...

Crazy Burger - North Park

I'm determined to finally finish off my "hanging chad" posts from Spring Break...one of which includes this burger place in North Park...

Gifted with a groupon from KD, we headed out to give this place a try...

Return to E & Drink

Now that Zion is open, the crowds seemed to have abated at Ranch 99. It also helped that we went before the lunch hour and on a weekday...

Otherwise, I wouldn't have even attempted going here!  Right now, Zion is the "shiny new toy" and it's not even busy there yet.

Lunch was on our minds...

Return to Cream Pan

Since Tustin was on our way up, I thought it would be good to squeeze in this visit...

I wanted Cathy to try one of their specialities here and she was quite amenable to make a stop here on our way up to Pasadena...

Pie-Not - The Aussie Style Bakery

Well now...we just had savory pastries at 85C, then hopped over to Bon Epi for a mac fix. Then we had a hipster "doughnut" next door at Sidecar.  We could NOT pass this place up especially since San Diego doesn't have a place like this...

and more importantly, because there was NO LINE!

This place seemed to be pretty new...

Return to SEL in RPQ & Yogurt Swirl

What's nice about being on break is that I can finally go out to lunch with my friends and with TC. It really beats being cooped up in the office and eating at my desk or having leftovers.

Best of all, I am not subjected to the narrow whims of several of my co-workers who seem to be afraid to venture out of their culinary comfort zone.

Paris Baguette @ the new Zion

Did I mention how spacious it was in here?

This is the view facing the exit. It's near a jewelry store and some K-Pop gift shop.

The new Zion Market

A few days ago, TC and I finally got to check out the new Zion Market...

which was formerly a Sears store on Clairemont Mesa Blvd.

This turned out to be a day where we hit up three different ethnic markets, but this would be the first stop...
