We were broke SDSU students in 1972 so a $2.99 steak at The Sizzler on El Cajon Blvd was a splurge. No Michelin stars, but a memory nonetheless. My first job in San Diego was at Pernicano’s and their pizza was the best. Probably contributed to my “freshman 15#” even though I was a junior at the time. When I moved on to cocktail waitressing at The Black Angus a few of us would breakfast after 2:00 am at Saska’s in Mission Beach or Krishna Mulvaneys. Once we were keeping normal hours Sunday brunch at The Spice Rack in PB was terrific. A treat for dinner was The Rib Cage on Shelter Island. We remember going there during the beef shortage and the servings were half the size which was disappointing since we’d saved to afford the fare. No leftovers that night. Then there was Eric’s Ribs in Old Town. They had the best and tallest haystack onion rings I’ve ever eaten. I was taken out to Old Trieste on Moreno Blvd once. Very pricey, dark and stuffy, but delicious. Thee Bungalow in Ocean Beach was a special date restaurant. Always delicious. Upon moving to Fallbrook in 1976 The Cauldron was a well known lunch spot. Buses would pull up so people could antique shop on Main and then stop in for lunch. The name escapes me, but a favorite breakfast place was on E.Mission across from El Toro Market. Grandmas Attic maybe? We’ve had many Valentine dinners with Robert at Le Bistro. He was quite a character. I know the Beef Wellington was a favorite for most, but I preferred the duck.<br /><br />Thank you Robert for sharing your posts, music and beautiful photography in 2020. It’s made the days brighter.

The thing that makes Fallbrook so wonderful, that it's off the beaten track and not a drive-through-to-get-where-you're-going place, also means no great bakery, no great steakhouse I guess. I'm content to live with that for the other wonderful things here, you and Leslie being two of them. ~ Diane O'BannonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
