As all you wonderful, loyal readers know, the Dineamic Duo recently embarked on a road trip to Disneyland! This blog stems from a fun little side quest we took in search of breakfast on the way. Truthfully, this side trip was a little bit of a struggle for us, but we made it through to…

One negative thing about being from a small town is that your restaurant options are very limited. There are not a lot of exotic options out there. It’s mainly burgers, fried food, and cheap knock-offs of ethnic fare. One of the reasons I was most excited about moving to the big city of San Diego…

Once upon a time, there was a young couple that was deeply in love and full of adventure. They lived in a small, quaint village called San Diego. They enjoyed spending time together- exploring the village, tasting the local fare, and enjoying the mead selection. One weekend, they decided to embark on a journey to…

The first step is admitting you have a problem, right? Ok, we have a problem. More specifically, I have a problem. A burger conundrum! I love them too much. So what happens every single time we go get one is that I automatically say it is my new favorite. It is a burden! A curse!…

As our loyal readers know, we long ago established “our” taco spot (aka the Tako Factory). The only thing about our spot is that it is so far away! All the way out in La Mesa! (My Southern self is laughing at the fact that I just referred to a restaurant 15 minutes away as…

Ian and I decided something about ourselves this week. My mom was in town, and we were desperately trying to think of dinner places to take her. We racked our brains, and came up with a few places However, we could name 5-10 breakfast places right off the bat. That’s when it hit us. We…

In honor of St. Patty’s Day, we are going Irish on this one y’all! (Please just ignore the fact that we are a few weeks late. We can’t all be perfect.) On actual St. Patty’s Day we stayed in and had the Bassett Bro.’s famous corned beef tacos topped with cabbage slaw and cilantro jalapeño crema….

  Do any of y’all have those places in your neighborhood that you drive by all the time and think-  Oh, I should really try that place sometime? For us, that one place was Waypoint Public in North Park. It was one of the few places on our original list that we had to roll…

Let’s take a minute to talk about heroes. We all have them, right? I’m going to tell y’all one of mine. Be prepared to be deeply moved here. One of my heroes since childhood is… Guy Fieri. That’s right. I idolize that goofy, frosted tipped, hilarious food show host of a man. I have watched…

February 28th is an important day for the Dineamic Duo. You see, it was on that day in 2016 that Ian and I agreed to make things official! Permit me to tell a little backstory here to set the mood. Ian and I met four years ago under different circumstances. We reconnected in 2015 when…

    I’m going to start this blog with the first thing I said when I walked into the bar of this restaurant. I turned to Ian (my lovely boyfriend) and said, “Oh my gosh, when I die I hope heaven looks like this.” When we walked over to the bar at Campfire in Carlsbad,…

This week we are going a little somewhere different. The Caribbean Islands! Just kidding, we are going to Point Loma, but this restaurant will make you feel like you’re on a tropical island packed full of flavor! The place is called Embargo Grill and it’s located on Point Loma Boulevard. This unassuming little restaurant was…
