Hi friends! Sorry I have been slacking on the blog entries lately. Ya know, life gets in the way. Not many things have been able to pull me out of my blog hibernation lately, so it takes a special place to make me feel inspired again. This week, I have just the place for you….
Casero Taqueria – Carlsbad, CA
Last weekend, Sean and Tara invited us up to C-bad (Carlsbad for those of you who are behind on the times) to check out a new taqueria near them. Tara’s twin, Missy, joined us in the adventure too! (So of course I looked like some sort of crazy twin groupie). It’s a cozy little neighborhood…
Pomegranate- North Park
Pomegranate is a restaurant I have been dying to try for well over a year now. I had seen pictures on instagram, heard whispers, and driven by it a million times. So finally, the stars aligned and Ian and I dragged our friends Lashley and Andy over to El Cajon Boulevard to check it out. …
Turf Supper Club- Golden Hill
Everyone should know by now that Ian and I love old aesthetics. We love blasts from the past. Especially ones that have stood the test of time and come out largely unchanged. For a while, Ian has been telling me about Turf Supper Club in Golden Hill. It is a funky, old school joint complete…
Brunch in the Crown Room- Hotel Del Coronado
Last weekend was a big milestone for the Dineamic Duo. We finally crossed a big one off the list – one we have talked about since the beginning! I am, of course, referring to having brunch in the Crown Room of the Hotel Del Coronado. As you all know, we are ritzy enough that…
Tacos El Gordo- Chula Vista
All right, y’all. This a big one. Tacos El Gordo has been on our list since the beginning. When I first moved here, I worked in Chula Vista for a little bit. All the girls that worked there swore by the tacos at Tacos El Gordo. They all said they were the most legit tacos…
Grand Ole BBQ Flinn Springs
All right, truth time. I stole this idea straight from a recent episode of DDD. I saw Guy Fieri eating there and I just had to try it myself. Plus, I’m a sucker for a good BBQ place. As we have previously established, you can take the girl out of the South, but not the…
Black Market Bakery- North Park
So this blog is a first! It is our first piece about a bakery. Which is super odd because I am OBSESSED with baked goods. Baked goods are in the top five things I love most in my life (that list also includes Scruffy… and Ian, of course!). Few things bring me pure joy like…
Toast – Carlsbad
Did y’all know that breakfast is not actually any more important than lunch or dinner? That whole thing was just a marketing ploy made by the cereal companies of days past to get people to eat more cereal! Isn’t that interesting? That being said… breakfast is the BEST meal of the day. It’s fun and…
El Jardin- Liberty Station
I have a confession. Sometimes… I stray. I have been known to step out on the Dineamic Duo and try a restaurant without my faithful sidekick, Ian Bassett. (He will HATE that I called him my sidekick… but if the cape fits, babe! -EDITORS NOTE- Richard Grayson, my favorite comic book hero, started out…
Beaufort, SC
As promised, this is the blog on my old stomping grounds. The lovely Beaufort, South Carolina. For those of you who have not been, please take this advice… go! Go check it out. I cannot paint a glorious enough picture with my puny words. It’s like straight out of a movie! Did I mention…
South Carolina Trip Part One: Charleston
Dear readers, I’d like to apologize for my lapse in entries. Things have been… a little overwhelming on my end for the last few weeks and I just haven’t felt the creative juices flowing. Worry not, they are back and better than ever (maybe? I just felt like that sounded like the right thing to…
