At Home: San Diego

  1. 1 4.5 Star Rating: Recommended Girard Gourmet
    Read Reviews

    7837 Girard Ave, LA Jolla, CA 92037 (map)

    "Amazing housemade and sandwiches at this La Jolla staple. I love to put together a basket to take down to Windansea on a sunny day."

  2. 2 4 Star Rating: Recommended Turf Supper Club
    Read Reviews

    1116 25th St, San Diego, CA 92102 (map)

    "One of the greatest restaurant concepts I've seen. A classic dive bar with a DIY grill. You can cook yourself a great sirloin and get the best iceberg salad in town for about $10."

  3. 3 5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended Cafe Chloe
    Read Reviews

    721 Ninth Ave, San Diego, CA 92101 (map)

    "Understated European elegance in East Village. They are definitely a leader in the small non corporate restaurant surge happening in San Diego. Very romantic."

On the Road

  1. 4 4 Star Rating: Recommended Balthazar
    Read Reviews

    80 Spring St, New York, NY 10012 (map)

    "Keith McNally is one of my heroes. Incredible food, service and impeccable European styled decor. Fast paced, bustling restuarant where you might sit a foot from John Stewart. Its not stuffy or snobby in the least. A place for everyone here. My fiance proposed to me here right before we started our restaurant."

  2. 5 3.5 Star Rating: Average Zuni Cafe
    Read Reviews

    1658 Market St, San Francisco, CA 94102 (map)

    "Judy Rodger's Zuni Burger is on a level all its own as is the roast chicken and bread salad. Simple rustic fare. Major food inspiration for me."
