About

The weekly guide to San Diego’s food + drink scene, hosted by Food Network personality Troy Johnson and San Diego Magazine’s culture brain, Jackie Bryant. Field notes and perspectives on restaurants, bars, and chefs—including new dishes and drinks you gotta try, restaurant openings and closings, events worth your time, and pretty funny-enlightening interviews with chefs, restaurant owners, farmers, brewers, and makers who make San Diego’s food + drink scene hum.
