There is one thing that I could eat everyday and that one thing is a grilled cheese sandwich. I know that sounds very plain, but one of the best things about a grilled cheese sandwich is the many ways that you can prepare it. “The Classic” is to do 2-3 different types of cheese. My two favorite combos are sharp cheddar and pepper jack or sharp cheddar and blue cheese crumbles. Both are yummy!

Another way to make it I like to call “BLT minus the L.” Basically, it’s just your favorite cheese with bacon and tomato. My latest invention is called “The Wasabi.” This is made with your favorite cheese (that would be sharp cheddar for me) with a wasabi mayo. I make my own by mixing wasabi horseradish with lite mayonnaise. Be ready for a little bite!

Another item to include when enjoying this dish is something to dip your grilled cheese sandwich in. A few of my favorites are tomato soup, ketchup, ranch dressing, and blue cheese dressing. All are very delicious and a fun way to spice things up a bit.

One of my favorite places to go for a grilled cheese sandwich is the Cheese Shop located at 627 4^th Ave., San Diego, 92101 (Gaslamp District). They put so much cheese onto the sandwich that it makes me melt plus you get to pick your favorite kind. They have so many to choose from since they are called the Cheese Shop. I also have to say they have killer breakfast food as well. So, go stop on by whether it’s for their awesome grilled cheese sandwich or any of their other food.

Gonna keep this one short. La Puerta: TOP FIVE of places to eat, drink, and hang out. That’s all there is to it. Jen, the mixologist there, created a great drink menu. Ask for a ‘Hot for Teacher’ one of the best drinks I’ve ever had.Also the staff is the BEST!

The food they serve is top notch. And whats better is they serve it late, till about 1am every night, though my favorite is their Carne Asada Fries, best in San Diego.

They also have one of the better happy hours in my opinion, 1/2 off drinks and appetizers. What else do you need?

And did I mention the music selection? There hasn’t been a song I couldnt sing right then and there on the spot. And no, they dont play that top 40 crap. The music is good old rock and roll, with the welcomed odd ball track mixed in from time to time. You also get DJs and Bands that will play in the back of the bar Weds thru Sunday.

Pizza √  Beer  √  Good Staff √

What else do you need? You cant go wrong with any of the Pizza’s, and most importantly they offer a great selection of brews. Not sure what beer to get? The bar staff is more then capable of helping you pick the best beer to match your taste. With selections from their own batch, to Local Micro-Brews you cant help but stop here if you’re passing through Solana Beach, or catching a show at the Belly Up.
