So Bad It’s Good A new sunrise for tequila Posted on March 14, 2018 Oceanside is making waves for much more than surfing these days, most notably as a culinary destination. Not only a hub for new hotspots, it’s also a place epicures, including master tequila distiller Felipe Soto Mares, call home. “Tequila has always…
In Search of Perfection A chocolate creation that truly takes the cake Posted on March 5, 2018 For years, I was on a quest to find the best recipe for a chocolate cake. The cakes always looked moist, almost shiny, and delicious in book photos, but once I baked them, they’d fall short. They either…
Born and Raised Posted on March 1, 2018 Chef Jason McLeod’s menu may offer culinary throwbacks such as Steak Diane, Duck à l’Orange, and Lobster Thermidor, but don’t mistake Little Italy’s Born and Raised for an old-fashioned steakhouse. Built as a stunning homage to a carnivore’s circa-1960s white-linen lair, with elaborate woodwork, leather, brass, and…
Gin Blossomed San Diego’s first urban distillery offers clear options Laura Johnson has already conquered more in a few years than many people do in a lifetime. At just 26 years old, Johnson is the founder and owner of You & Yours Distilling Co. in San Diego’s East Village. It’s the city’s first urban distillery.…
Love is: Sugar Cookies Showing affection with pretty confections Posted on February 8, 2018 There’s no better way to express whatever kind of love you are feeling than to bake a batch of old-fashioned sugar cookies with royal icing to share with your “subjects.” This is a family recipe that I used to make the…
A Sweet Surplus Couple uses excess wine grapes in new product Posted on January 16, 2018 It can be easy to take for granted the natural bounty we have available here in the Golden State. One enterprising local couple wants to ensure that we are both aware of what we consume and where it comes…
My New Year Advice Get your vitamins A, D, and B, and mind your Ps and Qs Posted on January 11, 2018 Anyone who knows me knows I love my carbs as much as, if not more than, the next guy. Do I love big, fat, buttery egg noodles lounging around in my chicken soup?…
A Perfect Ten Posted on January 01, 2018 San Diegans can be fickle about our food. We’re often attracted to the latest shiny trends, swayed by of-the-moment offerings like poke, zoodles, mocktails, and hipster toasts. Yet, throughout all the flavor fluctuation — like the foie gras to no foie gras to foie gras renaissance —…
My Favorite Valentien Posted on December 1, 2017 For more than a decade, before terms like “slow food” and “farm-to-table” became delightfully commonplace, The Lodge at Torrey Pines’ gourmet enclave, A.R. Valentien, adhered to both principles, thanks to the devotion of Jeff Jackson, the restaurant’s executive chef and renaissance gastronome. Jackson was one of the…
Red O Posted on November 1, 2017 Superstar chef and TV personality Rick Bayless is well known for bringing both authentic and innovative tastes of Mexican cuisine to his home city of Chicago. But the chilly Midwestern metropolis is quite a distance from our nearby southern neighbor. Most San Diegans are already knowledgeable about Mexican…
Tastiest Taste & Superior Sip Posted October 1, 2017 Del Mar Village’s Taste of Del Mar event once again welcomed a sold-out crowd, which enjoyed samples and drinks from an impressive list of area restaurants including Kitchen 1540, Prepkitchen, The Lanai, and many more. The Ranch & Coast team was on hand to collect votes…
Transported to Tuscany: Firenze Trattoria Posted on August 31, 2017 It’s a long trip from San Diego to Italy, but thankfully it’s a much quicker trip to Firenze Trattoria in Encinitas, just outside of Rancho Santa Fe. With weather here much like in its namesake city, Firenze’s shaded patio is the place to enjoy lunch…
A Gin Refresher Posted on July 27, 2017 A gin and tonic is not new news for any imbiber here in the states — especially not during summer, and particularly not after a round of golf. Originally concocted by British colonial officers in India, both the tonic and gin were used to mask the taste…
