Yakyudori in Hillcrest Closed:
FOY (Friend of Yoso) "Yummy Yummy" sent me a text almost two weeks ago telling me that Yakyudori in Hillcrest had closed. About a week later I read the same on SD Urban. Since I was in the area earlier this week….and hey, I must've won the lottery because I scored a parking space right in front of the former Yakyudori. Signage is up for a place called Raku Japanese Tapas:
And no, I don't think this place has anything to do with Aburiya Raku.

Mrs Rice is now Dusit Thai Cuisine:
Now when did that happen? I ate at Golden City one week and it's Mrs Rice….I come back the next and it's just what we need in this area…..another Thai Restaurant…of course we can always use a good Thai Restaurant, so we'll see….

What does this have to do with San Diego (well, kinda)?
I try to catch Ken Kramer's About San Diego on PBS when I remember and have some time. Certain shows have fascinating tidbits….. and at then end of one of his segments he started mentioning famous folks from…..Valley Center. And one of the names he mentioned (nope it wasn't Bill Murray) was Betty Crocker….. well kinda Betty Crocker as the name is a brand name. Agnes White Tizard, a Home Economist who created and tested recipes for the Crosby Washburn Company, and was the voice of Betty Crocker on radio shows starting in 1924. Though we now know Valley Center for Valley View Casino and on this blog, places that Cathy posts about…. I thought it was fascinating to to know that Betty Crocker (kinda-sorta) lived in Valley Center!
And finally…
Do you think Sammy really likes Frosty Paws Bites???
You know….I've been tempted to eat this way on more than one occasion……
I hope everyone had a great weekend!
This county is awash with history and uses of its microclimates.
Valley Center is also the home of Bell Gardens, a model produce farm that has train rides, hay rides and a lot of education for adults and fun for children. http://freepages.history.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~howardlake/california/bellgardensca.html
It’s run by Mr. Bell, the founder of Taco Bell.
I saw that new Thai restaurant! We definitely could use some more good Thai restaurants, but we’ll probably get another mediocre one.
hope that thai restaurant is a good one!
I can’t believe Mrs. Rice finally sold after all these years on the market.
Hehe, my pups aren’t so mannered when it comes to frosty paws.
Hi Cathy – Now that sounds like a fun post!
LOL Fred…… that’s my thought.
Hi Kat – So do I.
Hi Carol – Yes….and it happened so quickly….
So, are frosty paws little frozen treats for dogs? that’s great since dogs tend to get so very hot on warm days.
Hi Lynnea – Yes, they are made by Purina….. in this hot weather my mutts lvoe them!
