The Hand that Feeds

Not that we go out to eat a lot, and when we do, we seem to go to a handful of favorites
that we really like. But like most things, you don't want things to get stagnant and this
includes food. So we try to break from the norm and try new places.

A good way to force yourself to try new places is Groupons. We get them and have
tried out a bunch of places this way. Sure some are better than others, but trying to
find some positives is better than just hating the whole experience.

Another way to find great (and new) places is YELP. This is one of my personal favorite
websites to use. I have a YELP account, write reviews and read lots of other reviews on
places before trying them out.

Have you experienced getting reservations where the restaurant pushes you onto another
site to make reservations? Most likely that site is Open Table. I actually like Open Table
and use it whenever I can. They are tied into a lot of eateries and really know when there are
open tables and times. Plus you earn points that translate into $$$ that you can spend at
any restaurant that uses Open Table.

A couple of GREAT places I highly recommend are:

SNOOZE - Seriously the BEST breakfast place in SD. Hip style meets great breakfast
done right! Get there early or expect a long wait ( but worth every minute!!!).

Cucina Urbana - Owned by the same people that own Kensington Grill, This Itialian fusion
restaurant that delivers on taste, fun and uniqueness. Be sure to use Open Table and set-up
a reservation because this place is ALWAYS packed. *HINT - The bar serves food and is
first-come - first serve.

Places I still wanna try: Searsucker, Underbelly, Burlap
