Egg Rolls from A Chau... does any other place do them as well?

Just curious...I get terrible cravings for these (and succumb quickly), but I haven't really heard (or seen post) "so and so place is better" or "x place are just as good"...in regards to these types of egg rolls.

Are there other spots around town who do them similarly? Or are they unique only to this place?

La Bonne Table - French Restaurant

Went to La Bonne Table today for my birthday dinner and absolutely loved the food. My only complaint is that it’s really hard to get in there because there are so few tables. I love French food and have tried St James dinner in Gaslamp and Bistro du Marché by Tapenade in La Jolla. Any recommendations for other French places closer to downtown Blue Boheme is on my list but I wonder how it stacks up to what I’ve tried to far.

MammmiaMIA (sandwiches) was amazing

Someone recently suggested that mammaMIA in La Mesa is a great spot and I finally went.

WOW. Incredible sandwiches. Easy parking and great highway access.

This place is a must. Pictured is the Godfather.

Tribute or Buena Forchetta for a Bianco experience.

We’re coming in for a conference next week and some of the people that I will be with want to grab lunch on one of the days and have pizza. Last year our conference was in Phoenix and we went to Pizzeria Bianco and they all enjoyed it. Looking for a similar style of pizza and restaurant experience. I skimmed over other posts and these name came up. Are we on the right track? Any others I missed? And if it’s near the convention center, even better. Thank you.

Coffee syrups

I don’t usually go for sweet coffee, but it’s nice to have every now and then, so I wanted to ask the experts for recommendations. My barista friend suggested Rio Beverages (aside from homemade), but I’m curious about other options. I’m looking to buy syrups or sauces for my espresso-based drinks since I used to make my own simple syrup and chocolate sauce but don’t have the time anymore. I’ve heard of Rio Beverages and Monin but haven’t tried them yet. Any recommendations for caramel, chocolate, or hazelnut syrups? I’m also open to other flavors and brands you love! Please help!

Restaurant Near Civic Theatre

Hello - I am trying to find a good restaurant near the Civic Theatre. I am going to see Wicked on 3/1, and would like to have a nice dinner before the musical.

Requirements: Somewhere nearby, within walking distance, to the Civic Theatre

Will consider price points, and not picky for food, just something that will make the night even more memorable and I won’t feel funny being dressed up in a nice dress.

Thank you!

Has anyone made a Chicken Pot Pie or gravy relatively close to the one at Chicken Pie Shop??

I was not a fan of chicken pot pie until I tried the Chicken Pie Shop. I'm taking a stab at it tonight but I have no idea where to start. Does anyone have any personal or recipe they've tried that tastes similar?

Fresh Bee Pollen?

I used to get fresh bee pollen (still soft, balls plumper and rounder than what you could find in most stores) at the Hillcrest Farmer's Market. Haven't been in a while and not sure the vendor is still there. Before I physically go out and hunt, I'm wondering if anyone here might know of a local purveyor? Thanks if you have any tips!

Where to get good pickles?

I’m from the east coast and we used to have pickle vendors selling all kinds of pickles but I can’t seem to find a shop that sells anything more than just cucumber pickles. I feel like the cliche of a pregnant women but I’m craving them bad and am hoping to find different vegetables or at least some more interesting flavors than the usual

Update: had my husband take a trip to vine ripe as you guys suggested and wow! There were so many options. I think I got enough pickles to last the rest of my pregnancy haha.

Best happy hours (food)

Okay I have two questions. First, what restaurants have a good food happy hour around San Diego? Some of the ones I used to go to aren’t being offered anymore and I need to find some new ones to check out!

Second, I got those synergy restaurants gift cards for Christmas and I need some recommendations for good places to use them. Which synergy restaurants are your favorites! Extra points if you can recommend a good restaurant to use my gift card at that also has a happy hour!!

Thanks guys!

ELI5... need help ordering at Shan Xi

Hi...

This was inspired by another post.

I've only eaten here once and I got the cumin beef hand pulled noodles... but looking at the photos on yelp, those weren't the noodles I wanted (delicious though!.) These were a little thick, but they weren't thin and flat

I wanted the long flat ones. Are those "hand ripped"? Is there a difference between hand pulled and hand ripped?

Can I order the flat ones with beef cumin? Or are you only allowed to order the style with the sauce/broth/ seasoning it comes with?

Ty!
