Over 17 years of eating through the city, I’ve kept a list of the dishes and drinks and places that floored me—the ones I yammer on about to strangers. For Comic-Con, I thought I’d share nearly 50 of my favorites within striking distance of the comic core: Gaslamp, Barrio Logan, Little Italy, Missio

As I boarded the orange line trolley on a Monday, my eyes snapped to the empty seat next to the conductor’s cabin. The usual occupant wasn’t there. For six months, he had been a fixture in the first car, his presence as reliable as the trolley’s 6:26 a.m. departure. Then, he vanished.The quiet rhyth

As with most businesses, the majority of seed banks have switched to online stores. This welcomed change means that growers are no longer limited by the stock available in the local stores and areas.

They say you never forget how to ride a bike. Can you forget how to date? It’s been a few months now, and—nervously, a bit unsteadily, feet on the pedals—I’m doing it. I’m out there in the world, meeting people, and can say, “I am dating.” It’s fun, and it feels so different than it did when I was i

I was never a traditional vacationer. I had no interest in all-inclusive resorts or curated itineraries. I never wanted to just “get away and relax.” I felt the humdrum of corporate office life to be perfectly predictable and routine, thank you very much. In my time off, I craved spontaneity and exp

“Diversify or die,” the business saying goes. It’s as true in the beer industry as it is anywhere. The craft bubble may have hit its peak, but the many breweries and beer businesses still thriving are often ones that have moved beyond just beer. Case in point—Harland Brewing Company. Harland expande

Making bread is ancient magic. Sure, there’s a fair bit of science involved, but the best bakers are more magicians than chemists, leaning more toward alchemy than biology. But even the strongest protection spells can’t stave off capitalism—a lesson that Wildwood Flour owner and baker Lauren Silver

Earlier this summer, creators, advocates, and other members of the diabetes community gathered at an event hosted by Quixote Executive Chef José Cepeda and Tandem Diabetes Care, a San Diego-based diabetes technology company, at the Lafayette Hotel. The afternoon offered a space for individuals to le

“Seeing [Belmont Park] for the first time was almost like when Alice went through the looking glass and was in Wonderland,” recalls San Diegan Tim Cole. He initially visited the local landmark on an eighth-grade field trip in 1974, and the park quickly became his sanctuary, a place where he felt lik

Caitlin Welsh and her husband, Kevin, tried for years to start a family. While they did not have trouble conceiving, Caitlin was unable to carry a baby to term. After another pregnancy loss, Caitlin met Rebecca Sandoval, MD, a Scripps Clinic obstetrician-gynecologist. The two made a connection that
