Saturday Stuffs – Private Kitchen Opening on Clairemont Mesa Boulevard and Coastal Crave Closes

Things get quiet around here during the holiday season, but we keep rolling along. Here are a couple of things I noticed in my travels.

Private Kitchen:

I was driving between meetings and dropped by Havana Grill for some take-out and noticed something strange about the Indian Market location.

IMG_2573 IMG_2574Sure doesn't look Indian – Middle Eastern to me. Something named "Private Kitchen". A good friend had mentioned a chef from Chengdu was looking for a spot around here. Could this be it? While it seems that the "wave" of Sichuan places has come and gone; we could always use a good Sichuan restaurant!

Over the last couple of years the place has changed several times, so here's hoping for some stability.

Coastal Crave Closes:

Man, with Kiel's, Hometown Buffet, Rita's, and now Coastal Crave closed; this strip mall seems very deserted.

It looks like fixtures and even the inventory is still in place. I don't see an eviction notice nor an ABC notice so am not quite sure what is going on here.
