Just a couple of things for another warm Saturday.
BBQ Chicken Returning to San Diego – In the Former Ichiro Spot:
**** You can find a post on BB.Q Chicken here.
I saw a sign over the former location of Ichiro's which closed at the end of January after over 35 years. I drove on in and was somewhat surprised…….
Looks like BBQ Chicken is returning to San Diego. I'm sure some folks will be happy…..I hope they've improved the recipe a bit as I was not a big fan of the chicken; at least when they were open in San Diego.

Dogs & Aguas Coming to Linda Vista:
I saw this sign as I was driving past Linda Liquor the other day.
Looks like something called "Dogs & Aguas" is coming soon. I'm assuming in the Linda Liquor shop?
I know our "FOY" Junichi lives in the area…..so perhaps he might know more?

And to my surprise:
Early in the week I made one of my regular visits to Nijiya. Walking toward the market, I stopped dead in my tracks. You see; this is what the storefront looked like.
Anything look out of place to you? I'm not sure why; but not having the "line-up" area, the distancing spots, the attendant, and all the other "Covid set-up" kind of threw me for a loop. Shows how much I'd gotten used to all the precautions. It felt kind of surreal in a way as I'd gotten used to that set-up….was this actually happening, or was it perhaps a mistake???
This is how it was…….
I will say, that most folks are still wearing masks when shopping and there still social distancing when going to the cashiers.

It's been pretty warm out there and frankly, I'm kinda tired of cooking, so we've been keeping things pretty simple around here……
We hope everyone is doing well and having a wonderful weekend!
stay cool & hydrated:)
That’s great BBQ Chicken is coming back!
You too Kat!
I thought you’d be happy about that Soo.
We ate at the Garage in Coronado Saturday and I was pretty caught off guard that about 5% of people in the area masks on. Interestingly, my local Vons is about 80% masked and Costco was about 50%. It does take some getting used to.
I actually drove by this past Saturday and it’s a food truck. Smelled good!
Yes, it does and will take some time to get used too Dereck.
Thanks for the update Junichi! I’ll on the look-out for it.
It’s weird seeing how things have changed at the stores now. No more Disneyland style lines. Most still have the 6′ rule which is good.
I have not been to Nijiya since pre-March 13. I miss their deli section. Time for a revisit.
I usually go to Nijiya twice a week CC, so I’ve been able to see how things have evolved over time. It’s quite interestng.
