Seattle: Geraldine's Counter

One of the best French toast I've had.  Made from a sour dough bread, it was different and very crunchy. Eric had French toast with a honey peach topping.  He also noted that the bacon was thick and delicious. 

San Diego: Alchemy

Small place that is off the beaten track. We went there for happy hour and got duck bao, taro tacos and oysters. I forgot to take a photo. They also have the miracle berry experience. You take this powers pink stuff and it makes everything taste sweet!  They bring out a plate of sour desserts and fruit for you to try.  Very trippy! 

San Diego: Prospect Bar & Grill

We went to see the cove and stopped by this place for lunch.  I got the seared ahi tuna salad.  Jennifer got the shrimp tacos.  Pretty decent. 

San Diego: Babycakes

Cupcake place with some amazing looking cupcakes!  Jennifer and I shared the tuxedo cupcake.  Very moist.  Prices are reasonable too for such a large cupcake. 

San Diego: Mystic Mocha

A local gem we went to for breakfast and coffee.  I got a scramble that came with potatoes.  It was simple yet delicious.  The coffee snobs with me were pleased with their drinks. 

San Diego: Table 926

Part of restaurant week.  I got the pork belly as a starter.  Beef cheek for entree. And molten lava cake for dessert.  Pork belly was good.  Beef cheek was way too salty.  Lava cake was just ok.  

San Diego: The Prado at Balboa Park

I stuck with the restaurant week menu and got an iceberg lettuce wedge with smoke applewood bacon, tomato and a crack coriander vinaigrette. My meal was the whole grain mustard steamed mussels.  Pretty tastey broth.  Down it all with a virgin mojito. 

San Diego: Urban Solace

Poplar breakfast/brunch place, there was a line of people outside before the place even opened!  We shared cheese biscuits that came with a orange-honey butter and smoked tomato jam. I decided to go light and got a seated albacore chop-chop made with avocado, cilantro, cucumbers, peppers and pepitas.  Eric got pancakes and bacon.  Jennifer opted for a burger.  I think everyone was satisfied with their meal. 

San Diego: Carnita's Snack Shack

Wait was a bit long for this place but the food was pretty good.  I got the pork belly served with a salad with a vinaigrette dressing.  I liked the apples in the salad. Pork belly portion was a bit small but it had the right amount of fat on it.  Sorry for the crappy photo.  

San Diego: Pappalecco

Cute little cafe that had coffee, baked goods and gelato. I got the stracciatella gelato and a jam cookie. The gelato was really good, very creamy.  Cookie had a very distinct flavor of something I didn't I like but I forgot what it was.  Jennifer and Eric finished it off for me though.    

San Diego: Phil's BBQ

I ordered the rib with a side of corn on the cob.  Delicious!!  Very tender and the BBQ sauce was very tasty!  Jennifer has her side order of glorious opinion rings. Eric had the pulled pork sandwich which was just ok, may have been dry and could have used more BBQ sauce.  French fries were comparable to In n Out's.
