Inbound Thinking

I recently spent a few days in San Diego, CA with my girlfriend. We tried lots of new restaurants and I managed to snap a few pictures of the food before it was devoured. Here’s a quick photo recap for some of my San Diego dining experiences.

In-N-Out Burger

Although I’ve traveled in the western States before, I had never actually tried an In-n-Out burger before. It was good, but not great. It actually reminded me a lot of Wendy’s but the patties were round instead of square. Next time I go to In-n-Out I will be ordering off the secret menu.

Kono’s Cafe

We found this place through yelp, and the reviews were astounding, rightfully so. Kono’s is a small breakfast joint with seating outside, right on the beach. The eggs were amazing, the potatoes were grilled with green chillies and cheese, the pancakes were fluffy and delicious and the bacon was perfectly crispy. I could not have asked for a better casual breakfast.

Cafe 222

Cafe 222 was featured by Bobby Flay on the Food Network show “The best thing I ever ate.” His favorite dish there was the Peanut Butter and Banana Stuffed French Toast. Being a big French Toast fan myself, I had to try it. Overall the dish was pretty good, but not amazing, but there was lots of other great stuff on the menu. Get there early, the breakfast queue fills up fast.

Tender Greens

On our last night in San Diego we were staying at a hotel in Point Loma, near the airport. It’s also a very residential area. Yet, according to Yelp there was a great restaurant called Tender Greens walking distance from the hotel. So we trekked off into the dark neighborhood and eventually found a small plaza nestled between houses with a few shops and restaurants. Tender Greens is an interesting concept, the menu is very simple and you have to order, serve and bus your food yourself. However, the food was all amazing. I had roast chicken, mashed potatoes, a baby spinach salad with toasted hazelnuts and a pumpkin tart for desert.
