"You have to try that new restaurant:
____&____"
Sound familiar?
The ampersand has become like the
Michelin Star...
well..
kinda.
It seems that every new "foodie" restaurant that is a must-try now contains the elusive
&
and that when I see the
&
I automatically assume it means
good food.
In the spirit of good food,
I am combining two places in San Diego
which are worthy of the
&
but do not actually use them in their names.
James Coffee Co. & Jayne's Gastropub
Let's start with James:
This is not James.
It's not an ad for Apple computers, either
(although if you're from Apple & you're reading this, contact me...
I'm sure we can figure something out ;)
That is my darling husband on our first trip to
Micro-roasters in SD are a dime a dozen,
but you bet your pants that
Nick & Lindsay
will try them all.
& this:
ranks among the absolute best.
Creamy, dark espresso
w/o the bitterness...yum!
They also have a work space for a few small businesses.
All together a great experience...
& it's in Little Italy...
How can you beat that??
All right let's discuss Jayne:
upon hearing that my friend was working there.
This quaint gastropub serves many English favorites,
along with other impeccably-selected dishes showcasing local produce and sustainable meats.
I recently went for my birthday and ordered the Potato and Celery Root Gratin...and ate every bit.
Sorry, no pic.
I only took a pic of my Irish Coffee:
& their lovely garden area:
So there you have it.
James & Jayne.
Two San Diego locals which shouldn't be missed.
aloha.
