I'm feeling a bit under the weather, so just a short post for today.
Bye-bye Lot 81, hello Frankie the Bull's BBQ:
Seen while driving down Morena Boulevard:
This was the former location of Lot 81. I'm sure that certain folks will be excited about the portion of the sign that says "Top Chef".
I'm guessing this'll be Top Chef's Frank Terzoli's restaurant. Since I've never watched the show, you all can tell me more….
1130 Buenos Ave (right off Morena)
San Diego, CA 92110
Awash Market and Liquor:
On the 2800 block of El Cajon Boulevard.
It was the "Ethiopian Restaurant" portion of the sign that caught my eye. I've been to Awash further up the street a few times.
How you know a fad is nearly dead:
When a shop opens in our neighborhood. This portion of Clairemont Drive, and this strip mall in particular (anchored by Hometown Buffet) is not known for cutting eating to say the least. So when I saw this sign……
I now know that there must be at least 1 fro-yo shop in every neighborhood in San Diego.
Hmmmm…..
Fusion Fondue and sushi?????
At the corner of Friars Road and Via Las Cumbres in Mission Valley. I dunno……
And speaking of seafood….
Or perhaps more appropriately Hwe (Hoe), there's a few new places as well. By coincidence, two of them are located in the same strip mall located at 4698 Convoy Street.
I hope you're having a great week. We'll be back with a restaurant post tomorrow.
