In our previous installments, we have talked about my food heroes (such as Guy Fieri and Andrew Zimmern). This week, we are going to talk about one of Ian’s favorites. Who would that be you ask? None other than Bobby Flay. Ian has a massive man-crush on that red-headed Iron Chef. Do I share his…
Antica Trattoria – La Mesa
I’m going to start this week’s blog with a little bit of a personal story. It’s a slightly more serious subject matter than I usually include in my ramblings, but I think it is important to give you the whole picture. Last Monday, I found out that we lost my grandmother unexpectedly. My grandma was…
Seattle Trip
In this blog post, the Dineamic Duo catch a bug. No, no not that kind of bug… a travel bug! One thing you can say about this duo is that as much as we like to eat, we also like to travel! Well, I like it and Ian is a good enough boyfriend that he…
Porto’s Bakery- Buena Park
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…
Underbelly- North Park
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…
Disneyland
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…
Cali “O” Burgers- Hillcrest
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!…
The Taco Stand- North Park
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…
Great Maple- Hillcrest
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…
Hooley’s Public House- Grossmont
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….
Waypoint Public – North Park, San Diego
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…
The Waffle Spot- Mission Valley
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…
