3 days until 30th on 30th
On the 30th of every month the restaurants and bars on 30th St. in Sane Diego offer some delicious specials. This one is going to be especially amazing because Monday just so happens to be a holiday! (for me too!).

gastrotruck hits san diego.
Exciting news! Gastro style catering company MIHO puts their gourmet fair on wheels in San Diego. Most of us have probably heard of these “roach coaches” driving around L.A., New York, Portland and other U.S. cities, selling gourmet food, using local organic, ingredients and serving up one of a kind rotating menus.
