Sheeesh, have I been gone that long? So many upcoming openings and even recent openings (more on that in future posts) and a couple of closings. So here's a quick round-up.
La Playita closes:
I'm kinda sad about this one. Cathy emailed me when I was away telling me that La Playita had taken down their website. So naturally I dropped by and found them closed.
Man, I was looking forward to a nice, refreshing, Vuelve a la Vida when summer got into full swing.

BBQ Chicken Closes:
I was never really impressed with B(est of the) B(est) Q(uality) in San Diego. Even after they started opening for lunch.
The version of K(orean)F(ried)C(hicken) served here wasn't my cup of tea, and I'm not really the type to be happy just "to finally have something" in San Diego.
I do believe I saw what was perhaps a KFC joint in the new location of Zion Market?

Chaba Thai replaces Gyro n Kabob Cafe:
I went for a Lamb Gyro and found that Gyro N Kabob Cafe had closed. It's to be replaced by a Thai Restaurant called Chaba.
Like I've said before, we can always use a new Thai restaurant, but really don't need yet another Ameri-Thai restaurant in the area……so we'll see. Though some of the folks I work with loved the "Thai Burrito" from Dusit….yuck….

Bollweevil in Bay Park being replaced by isa.bella artisan pizzeria & beer garden:
Yep, it's all lower case….how hip and modern!
I'll readily admit to thinking that this is a Bay Park money grab.
So I asked a friend of mine who is really on top of the brewpub scene. The response was "just jumping on the craft beer and brewpub train". I'm hoping I'm wrong….so we'll see.

So that's it. Hope you're having a great weekend!
Welcome back, Kirk, and I’m looking forward to the posts on the trip. I think BBQ Chicken remodelled recently; I haven’t gone there in a long time, but I recall seeing the signs when driving by.
Thanks Sandy. I did notice that all the signs for BBQ Chicken are gone now. I read somewhere that it’s going to be a Chinese restaurant.
No more Korean Fried Chicken in San Diego?
Hi Soo – I think there’s a place opening in the new Zion Market.
Cool! I liked getting Korean Fried Chicken once in awhile when I’m not going to Popeye’s or Crispy Fried Chicken.
I’m really bummed about La Playita closing. That was the best place to swing by on the weekend and grab a Vuelve a la Vida and then head home and consume that with one or 5 beers, while relaxing on the patio..
I’m bummed too Dereck. I was looking forward to grabbing a bite there when things get warmer. I’m hoping they reopen somewhere.
