Eclipse Chocolate Bar & Bistro- South Park

Last week we talked about North Park and some cool spots there. This week, let’s talk about something a little bit further south. Now I don’t mean King’s Landing or the Iron Islands (here’s looking at you G.O.T. fans), I’m talking about good old South Park, San Diego. Like we’ve said before, we are lucky…

Bite San Diego- North Park

This week’s blog is a little different. Instead of discussing one spot, we will be talking about six! Consider it six for the price of one. Although, the price of one is free… so I’m not sure it really matters. As all you lovely readers know, Ian and I live in the beautiful, hip North…

Tako Factory

All right, all right… I realize I have been on a bit of a Southern food kick these last couple weeks. So let’s change it up this week. Let’s talk about San Diego staples. When I think of quintessential SD eats I picture fish tacos, carne fries, California burritos, etc. This week’s spot has all…

Crack Shack

Sticking to the theme of our last post, let’s talk about some more great Southern food! I know what you’re thinking, this is a blog about San Diego; why don’t we focus on burritos, tacos, carne fries, etc. Don’t worry, we will. However, you can’t take a girl away from her roots. I feel it…

Antique Row Cafe

I’m not sure if I have mentioned this before, but I’m Southern. I was born and raised in the Carolinas (with a few stops in between). One of my biggest hang ups about moving to San Diego to join my darling was that I didn’t want to leave behind my Southern food. Fried chicken, mac…

TRAVEL EDITION: Kauai

In this special edition of the blog, the Dineamic Duo take on Kauai! Now, instead of boring you fine people to death with every single (amazing) detail of our trip, I am going to summarize the three best things we ate while we were on vacation. And yes before you ask, we did do other…

Here’s a fun story about the time Ian and I went to Del Mar Fair! Oh wait no. That’s not what happened. We got up to Del Mar Fairgrounds and found.. nothing!  Poor Ian did not realize that the fair ends July 4th. And poor Arielle did not get the corndog and fried Oreos she…

Tribute Pizza

For this post, we are going to talk about something near and dear to Ian’s heart. And no, I don’t mean me. I mean pizza! One of his top two favorite foods! Few things make that man happier than a good pizza. Spoiler alert, we found one. We decided to finally try a joint we…

Juniper and Ivy UPDATED

July 18th is a very important day. 33 years ago, Ian Michael Raymond Bassett made his (very early) debut into this world. He was, of course, joined by his twin brother Sean. So what did we do to celebrate this momentous occasion? Why, we dressed up real pretty and made our way to what some consider the hottest spot in all of San Diego, Juniper and Ivy.
