I'm not sure you've noticed, but we've gone on quite few trips since December, one of which was a month long! I know, we here all about "revenge travel" these days. Well, I'm not sure that's what it is for us. We're all getting older and for…at least me, I'm thinking better revenge travel now than to have wait longer and let it become "Depends" travel if you know what I mean. With all of those trips; it's been pretty difficult getting "back in the rhythm" of things like developing that rotation.
But it looks like things are straightening out and I'm ever slowly falling back into a routine. So here are a couple of places, most should be quite familiar to regular readers, I'll just leave it as a C(learing) O(ut the) M(emory) C(ard) post with a minimum of verbiage.
The Market at HFS:
**** HFS has moved their retail location and is now HFS at Centerpark Labs
It seems that the warmer the weather gets, the more I visit.


There had been a gap of over five months since I've restarted my visits and I no longer know the folks working here. The selection is smaller these days; at least on my two recent visits, though those didn't take place during what I recall were the peak days.



I basically stick with the ahi poke here and it still hits the spot. As things heat up and the Missus starts wanting poke, I'm sure I'll be visiting even more often.

Sue's Korean Kitchen:
The folks in the office really like Sue's, so it's been a fairly regular stop for me. Plus, they open at 10am which helps me to beat lunch time crowds.



It's the Kimchi Fried Rice that has us coming back.

In my neck of the woods; well, there's not much. But here're two places that I hit up regularly.
Bay Park Coffee:
I usually meet our good friend "Alle" who was Frankie's favorite Auntie for coffee and to catch up on things once a week or so.

And though they've had some staffing turnover over the last year or so, the folks working are quite nice. We usually catch up on things over a cold brew and veggie bagels.

Bay Park Coffee

Zgara Greek Grill:
After my last revisit to GyroGrill, I headed straight back to Zgara. I hadn't been in a while and business there seems to have really picked up.

And take a look at the photos from my last visit to GyroGrill and compare the gyro there to this version.


So, of course I'm now back in the habit of visiting as often as I can and it's still the pork gyros here for me. It's always great to chat with Eric, who remembers me from the days when Zgara was in PB.

So, hopefully I'm back in the rhythm now and will be adding places back to the rotation. As always, I'm so thankful for your visits and comments!
What's been on your rotation recently?
That’s good Zgara is doing great. I love their pork.
HFS had a line out to the parking lot on a recent Sunday afternoon, so I did a u-turn out of there. Sue’s Korean Kitchen isn’t near enough for me to get lunch, but I see they’re open late. Bay Park Coffee and Zgara are out of my way, but I have enjoyed the gyros at Zagara.
I don’t really have a rotation, but I’ve been getting takeout dim sum from Hong Kong BBQ.
They are doing quite well Soo!
Good thing you didn’t head to Sue’s Sandy. They are closed on Sundays!
nice!
Thanks Kat!
Always good to get back in the routine — can’t beat HFS, at least this side of Hawaii!
You might have a new place to try over in La Jolla Village Square (Ralph’s shopping center). Padadak Korean Chicken closed last week and is being replaced later this month by Crispy Chicken n’ Tomato — a chain with 250+ stores in Japan. Interesting menu… https://crispychicken.jp/menu/
Love HFS and Sues
So true Peter….trying to get back in the “groove”. Thanks for the update as well!
I do too ST!
I haven’t been to Zgara in quite a while. That gyro looks like what I need for lunch one day this week.
I’ve gone to Zgara a couple of times in the last week Dereck! That pork gyro is good!
