On this week’s Happy Half Hour, co-hosts Troy Johnson and Jackie Bryant camp out on Monarch Ocean Pub’s waterfront deck in Del Mar Plaza where owner-operator Drew Vick runs plates of halibut ceviche, pepperoni-and-broccolini flatbread, and five-day brined short-rib pastrami. Joining us is Bebemos Tequila cofounder Preston Caffrey pouring crisp paper plane cocktails, talking zero-additive agave, and discussing his San Diego roots.
We hit festival season high notes like *cough cough* Del Mar Wine & Food Festival kicking off here next week, and then slide into a lively burger draft that swings from Drugstore Burger at The Lodge to Rocky’s, Majorette, Beef ’n Bun, Wise Ox, and a sleeper Wagyu at Gaslamplighter.
