Hylasgirl...thanks for your insight. You brought up something interesting that I have discovered about San Diego, "food"! I've traveled to over 50 countires around the globe and after being a 14yr former resident of SF know good food. I found in SD, so many wonderful places to eat and so many types of food. Best is most places are reasonalbe in price and top notch in quality. Granted it might not get the attention of the SF or NYC food critics, but that's ok by me. As a friend of mine who has lived in SD for 15yrs said, "SD has really grown up in the last 10yrs."
