I check EVERY day and I never see anything please help me

My go-to has been Bahn Thai and had some yesterday but the flavors were off, and despite requesting a level 3 of spiciness, it barely reached a level 1.

My wife’s vegan friend is coming to town this weekend and is staying in Barrio Logan.

Are there any good recs for vegan food around there? Bonus points if there are good meat friendly options too.

Thanks!

I usually can't handle spicier foods, but radiation has dulled my taste buds. I might as well take advantage of it and enjoy zestier foods!

I am really craving Kung Pao with the velvety cornstarch sauce and toasty peanuts. My target areas are Kearny Mesa, Clairemont or PB.

Sweet stuff is hella disappointing right now, although Sweet Petite had amazing lemon bonbons for Halloween. Happy for any suggestions there, too. Stress eating is no fun when it doesn't taste good.

Hey SD foodies!!

I purchased 2 of these early tickets back when they first came out and now I can’t go with my husband. Would anyone who is as obsessed with the wine and food scene as we are be willing to purchase our 2 early entry tickets at cost?

This is for tomorrow, Saturday November 9th, early entry. Gates open at 11am.

I checked and I can simply transfer the tickets, they aren’t name specific. It’s just a QR code. I hope this is allowed because I truly want a foodie to go, but I just can’t lose out on the entire cost.

I purchased for $500, but I am willing to sell two tickets for a total of $400 obo.

Holy shit this place is $$$! Ridiculous really. Almond croissant is $11.75! And a Sourdough Loaf w/ Garlic is $17! I just ended up walking out. Wow, that’s crazy stuff.

Visiting next month and I want my partner to be able to witness the amazingness that is a SD baja fish taco!

Anyone know if one exists? Or of a place willing to go the extra mile to make it happen?

Hey!

So I'm in charge of this year's Christmas Holiday Party and I'm looking for a spot that could host 50+ people. I'm not a local so I'm not too sure of great places and desperately looking for help from the community. Trying to keep it under $100/person as I have a budget of $8k. Looking for a nice spot that has good food and a great selection of drinks. Best suggestion would have great local bars that we could fuck off to after the meal. Has to be open on a Tuesday as well. Any ideas or suggestions are welcome though. Thanks in advance!

Pretty much every year Island Prime sells off its excess wine and spirits. This year the sale is on November 23rd from 11:30 AM-2:00 PM. Many of the discounts aren't that exciting, but I went through their "Sample" list of over 270 to find anything with a 50% or greater discount. If you want to check out the full list, it's here. I'm not affiliated with them at all, I just like to get a good deal!

Their falafel is the most unflavored I have ever tasted and way over cooked. They smother it in some nasty garlic jizz that has the consistency of wall paper paste.

I decided to give them a second chance today and ordered the Greek Wrap to go. Upon opening the wrap to eat it I discovered they had cut it at a weird diagonal and didn’t cut it all the way through. The thing was so overfilled that when I tried to separate it into two halves the entire contents spilled out. I ended up having to eat it with a fork. Good thing though because the banana peppers still had their stems.

The lettuce was also slimy and wilted.

What a terrible lunch experience. I’ll never go back. They seem more concerned with their yelp reviews and media exposure than actually providing a positive dining experience.

Where can I find truly spicy salsa verde? Tried TJ version and it’s so mild. Looking for ones that are shelf stable (not necessarily fresh)

Don Carlos Taco Shop salsa is amazing but they rarely sell by the oz.

Does anyone have a suggestion for bakery rye bread, other than DZ Akins?

These beef hard shell tacos from Colimas are really good. I would recommend anybody to give them a try.

Seen this City Heights taco pop up on my fb feed in one of my groups. Curious if any ppl on reddit have been here. I trust yall more than fb influencers. 🙂

Hello friends,

Looking for a restaurant where my wife and I can dress up and have a good dinner. Nothing incredibly expensive but willing to spend a bit to get some good food. I do love seafood so some solid recommendations would be much obliged! Visiting from Kansas so would love some local feedback!

I’m trying to find a Korean barbecue spot with outdoor seating. I remember going to one a few years back. Because of COVID restrictions they had a few grills outside. Does anyone know if any restaurants still do this? Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Finding a bday cake. My usual place, Eccentric International Chefs has one, but it was waaaay too chocolatey (chocolate icing, chocolate butter cream, the sponge itself was too rich).

Anyone have any recommendations for a more balanced chocolate cake that’s more like a more balanced milk chocolate cake that isn’t so much in your face? Thanks!

I'm on a quest to try all the Thanksgiving sandwiches that San Diego has to offer.

I know of Queenstown and lit'l Pepper.

Where else should I check out ?

I was recently in Washington DC at a late night spot called DCG (District Chicken and Gyro) and had the best chicken and gyro over long grain rice and salad. I’m desperately searching for something similar to this here in San Diego ! Thank you guys in advance!

Just saw that Big Oven Pizza in Kearny Mesa is offering a 25% discount for customers with an “I Voted” sticker on Tuesday, November 5. Has anyone been before?

Only requirement would be that the place be on the healthy-ish side. Thanks in advance!

I’m trying to plan a date night for next Tuesday in the convoy area

I was hoping to go to Realm of the 52 Remedies but they’re closed for a private event the night of our planned date!

Does anyone know of a place with a similar vibe in the area?

I really don’t want to reschedule for a different night. I think that around $60 per person for food + drinks is a good budget for this.

this will be the first year I am ordering from honey baked ham and wanted tips on how to do it. I heard the lines are crazy long the day of and before thanksgiving, but Im wondering if its best for me to go the day of to have the food be fresh, or is it fine to just pick it up a few days before? I plan on prepaying, and notice sides only come frozen..do they offer hot and ready sides as it gets closer to thanksgiving? Is there a recommended time to get there so the wait isn't crazy long? This is only for 3-4 people so not too big of a party.

So, long story short, I’m dating a woman that is a vegetarian and I am not. She lives in a different state and is coming here in 2 weeks. I want to take her to a nice sit-down vegetarian restaurant that has some good options. What do you guys recommend?

Just wanna start by saying that I am not a bagel expert or anything, BUT I have been to many other bagel shops in LA and NYC. So those are my baseline. I got so hyped up about this pop up bagel shop I heard about pretty much everywhere. They got featured in SD magazine, they are all over my social media feed etc. They sold out quick and you gotta show up before 8am on Sunday (and yes Sunday is the only day they are open). I am a huge fan of small businesses and once I heard about this spot I wanted to try immediately. Anyways, I ended up getting their bagel. It was fresh and warm which I love! The outside of the bagel was not crispy almost. I almost thought that I should just throw it in my toaster but I ended up not doing it so that I can try it as is. Aside from the outside not being crispy, the inside was doughy and not very yummy. Everything bagel seasoning is something everyone knows so no need to comment on that. As much as I would love to support small businesses this place got me so disappointed. I guess like every other food / cuisine, bagel taste is also subjective. Not sure about the hype of this place. I would rather have a good bagel at Nomad.
