Box’d is a bike-friendly, sunny place to lounge

Carlsbad shipping-container’s food is fine; it’s the picnic atmosphere that’s a winner

By Jenny Montgomery
Box'd has taken over the corner of State Street and Carlsbad Village Drive (430 Carlsbad Village Drive). It's not so much a restaurant as a shipping container and a large patch of soft, artificial turf.

Spring’s in bloom at Iris Food & Spirits

Great food and dangerous cocktails, perched on a lagoon in southern Del Mar

By Jenny Montgomery
Iris occupies a busy little twist of residential road at the southern end of Del Mar (2334 Carmel Valley Road); if it didn't sit just west of Interstate 5, we'd call it Carmel Valley.

Chandler’s has a great location, but that’s about it

Prices are too high and food too mediocre at Carlsbad restaurant

Nutmeg raises the bar for suburban eateries

Soups, sammies and baked goods are creative and tasty at new Poway café

By Jenny Montgomery
Sometimes, I get an email telling me that "this café serves everybody—not JUST Sabre Springs Swingers!" Nutmeg Bakery & Café in Poway? You had me at swingers.

Oink and Moo is a tasty little Fallbrook barbecue joint

Oink and Moo is a tasty little Fallbrook barbecue joint

Vincent’s in Escondido is an outpost of French charm

Meditate on the perfection of onion soup

By Jenny Montgomery

Leucadia’s Pandora’s Pizza veers ‘outside the box’

Duck confit, margherita pizzas are tasty, if far from perfect

By Jenny Montgomery
I’ve never been one of the cool kids. Maybe it’s the old lady trapped inside my sort-of-still-young body, but I like my hangouts mellow and friendly and far from “the scene,” whatever that is.
