I have to add that outside of La Jolla, we know 4 bartenders in the world by first name: Doug (FS Hua), Lisa/Russ (FS Bos), and Steve (used to work at Hotel Bel Air. Not sure if he has returned). Always a highlight at FS Hua to see Doug. (We drink. ALOT!) I was worried about him when FS Hua closed for the tsunami. It was the first thought that came to my mind when I heard that FS Hua got hit. The last time we were at FS Hua he was sweating the recession. I hope the bar changes work out for him. We've closed his beach bar many times ....
