Sure, there’s Wine Wednesday and Meatless Monday, but they pale in comparison to their tortilla-wrapped neighbor, Taco Tuesday.

Best Sushi in San Diego

To please a sushi snob: the title of my autobiography. As a San Diego native, the last thing people associate you with is sushi. More likely, the nose-in-the-air snobbery comes out when the topic of conversation involves craft brewery, perfect weather year-round, or what city has the best beaches—it’s San Diego if you still weren’t sure.
