Nick Balsamo of Rosemarie’s joins Troy and Jackie to talk about how a food truck full of killer sliders turned into one of San Diego’s best new brick-and-mortars. The crew gets into Nick’s rise from catering gigs and farmers markets to opening his own family-friendly gastropub, his Arizona street food hustle, and what it’s like feeding crowds that range from dive bar regulars to wedding guests.
We also discuss Starlite’s long-awaited comeback, Puesto’s new chef flex, San Diego’s first women’s sports bar pop-up, and the return of the Spring Art & Wine Walk in Carlsbad. Plus, one of us may have pooped our pants at the movies. You’ll have to listen to find out who.
