San Diego Food Adventure


August 28th was my San Diego Food Adventure


I love heading down to San Diego, especially since the Valley has been over 100 degrees. Today was the beginning of the 75th Western Foodservice & Hospitality Expo at the San Diego Convention Center, you know, where they have Comic Con...

Before heading to the Gaslamp District, I stopped off to see my friend Kate and to sample her latest sushi creations, see Miss Sushi San Diego.


Red Head Roll (Top)

Shrimp Tempura Roll topped with spicy tuna, spicy sauce, and crunchies.

Volcano Roll (Bottom)

Eel, salmon, cream cheese, imitation crab, avocado, Halibut,
dynamite sauce, and eel sauce.


Both rolls very good and served with cucumber and seaweed salad.
Go see Kate!

It's a beautiful Day in the Gaslamp District of San Diego

Sorry, No Pictures inside the expo...


OK, I'll see what I can do


Maplewood Bacon Frozen Yogurt


No bacon flavor, just tasted like maple.


For this to be one of the four largest food shows in the US,
only ONE hot dog vendor?

What is happening to the All-American food?


It was a good show, not too much new stuff for me to see.
Loved the Expo Comida Latina...


Now it was time to head to visit some friends and enjoy the cool weather in San Diego.



Ahh, Summer's Ending Soon...

Sticking to What You Do Best...

Last week, I was invited to celebrate National Hamburger Day at The Counter in Studio City. I had been to The Counter before, but today was special and met a fellow tweeter who was a first timer. The menu is easy to follow and you actually build your own burger, well at least on paper. First you select the protein, then the cheese, other various toppings, a side sauce, and last is the type of bun you want. If you’re having a hard time deciding, don’t worry, they have signature burgers and sandwiches to choose from. Too many choices make me crazy sometimes. I get so confused when I see other restaurants trying to be everything to everyone. The food at these restaurants are usually horrible and thus end up closing. Would you be surprised if the pizza at a seafood restaurant wasn’t good? Doesn’t make sense to me. Attention Restaurant Owners: Pick something and do it really really well. In-n-Out hasn’t added anything to their menu in years and they’re still in business and GROWING! Being i...

Coco Bread Sandwich with Jerk Chicken

Image
Who Doesn't Like Jerk Chicken??? OK, I'm Sure There Are Some, A Few, One, Maybe Two... This is Maybe My  Favorite  Sandwich! At least the one I think about when wanting  a great 'Sandwich'  comes to mind. Chef Yonette serves this sandwich as an every so often special at her restaurant, Caribbean Gourmet in San Gabriel, CA. The sandwich consists of Jerk Chicken and a Slaw for texture and balance on a house-made Coco Bread, a buttery soft circular flat bread (aka "Butter Flap" in Guyana) Like most awesome sandwiches, it's the bread that makes it great. As I pick-up my sandwich on Sandwich Saturday. Whenever I pick up pastries or patties from Caribbean Gourmet, it's very hard to make it home. Smelling the Jerk Chicken... See What Jay Eats... Yup, I caved and it didn't make it home... Follow Caribbean Gourmet's IG account and Stories for the next Jerk Chicken Sandwich Special Saturday. @caribbeangourmet On sandwich day, be sure to be there at Noon,...

Hidden Little Tokyo: Cheap Eats

Image
I usually take the Metro Gold Line to Downtown Los Angeles.  Traffic is usually bad and then I have no idea where to park.  Although some of my friends who know I'm downtown a lot, think I know where all the places to park, this is why I take the Metro.  As I was heading into town on this trip, overheard 2 guys talking about only having $5 and wanting to get something to eat. I know there are places in Little Tokyo where you can get something to eat in the $5 range, here's what I've found: See What Jay Eats... Half California Roll and Half Spicy Tuna Roll (includes miso soup) $3.95 Little Tokyo Sushi This is a grab and go kiosk inside the Little Tokyo Market Place.  They have a variety of sushi combinations ranging in price from a $2.50 hand roll to $12+.
