French-Tahitian Breakfast in Little Italy
Rush rush rush. Heading down India, Little Italy. Huh. Probably the last to notice, but I see the old Formaggio has disappeared from India street. Now it’s – great name! - Breakfast at Stephanie's (1501 India Street,#105, Little Italy, 619-230-1222). …

Saigon on Fifth
When looking for this restaurant you need to look on University Avenue in Hillcrest, not 5th Avenue, as the address would have you believe. The actual restaurant is just off the corner of 5th Avenue and University Avenue--this can get …
Champagne French Bakery Cafe

Mission Peach? Blue plate special?
It’s the two perfect eggs. They look up at you like a pair of bloodshot eyes. http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2012/oct/18/33827/ Bloodshot because of the paprika splotted over them and the bits of bacon scattered on top. Their yolks ooze rich and golden over …

Bus stop cheese steak
