Just a few items to get you past "hump day".
Mr Dumpling:
A few weeks back, I received an email(Thanks MrC), than PedMa commented regarding Mr Dumpling. Located on Convoy Court, right behind 99 Ranch Market, I managed to take a drive past this weekend.
The sign says "Chinese Grill", and the name is "Mr Dumpling"…..so it gives you an inkling.
Le Chef Bakery:
During early morning Banh Mi runs, I've noticed packages of Baguettes being delivered with tags that read Le Chef Bakery. I was never really able to find out much. But look at what I drove past while taking a detour on Ruffner Street.
Looks like a wholesale bakery operation. Anyone know anything?
Mo's is Closed:
Back in September, 'CD' commented on Mo's, basically saying that the place has been closed by the Health Department. I wasn't able to drop by before our trip. So this past weekend, I dropped by, and yes Mo's is closed.
The only item of significance was a Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control suspension notice.
Which, if I recall, doesn't usually shut a restaurant down, it just suspends the establishment from serving alcohol. I'll do some further digging and see what I can find out. I've been told that Mo is only currently doing catering. I'll let you know what I find.
Beer Inquiry:
I recently received an email asking me if I knew where Asahi Kuronama could be found in San Diego. Unfortunately, I can't find the email. So I'm posting what I found here. I've seen Asahi Kuronama on the shelves at both Nijiya Market and 99 Ranch Market.
Nijiya Market
3860 Convoy St Ste 109
San Diego, CA 92111
99 Ranch Market
7330 Clairemont Mesa Blvd
San Diego, CA 92111
Now if I can only find me some Beer Lao……….
And Finally:
Here's a nice piece of photoshop work from FOY (Friend of Yoso), and fellow Food Blogger Dennis who does A Radiused Corner. Dennis has a great sense of humor, and has called me the "Banh Mi Rover"…..and he backed it up with this:
You know……I can see the resemblance! Thanks Dennis!
I hope everyone is having a great week!
