Strawberry Saturday

Finally checking out @fishwithyousd on Convoy, a Chinese chain known for suan cai yu, or Sichuan fish with pickled mustard greens. Best bites: green peppercorn soup with snakehead fish, fried shrimp rolls, and pickled fish skins.

Continuing a legacy started by founders Matt Hoyt and Tim Mays, our beloved Starlite is reopening early next week on India Street.

Five years after being destroyed in a fire, the iconic China Max has reopened on Convoy. Click the link in my bio to read more in the @sandiegouniontribune about why its new owners are now serving handmade dumplings and noodles instead of returning to the Cantonese menu of the original restaurant.

'Top Chef' alum Claudette Zepeda is ready to cook for San Diego again. The globe-trotting chef has a new home at Leu Leu, which opens for reservations this weekend. Styled out to look like your cool friend's living room, the Leucadia lounge's small plates reflect Zepeda's travels and culinary background, from a "masa ball" soup with Yemeni spices and a crudo that combines some of her favorite dishes from Bracero and Vaga.

Spicy Lao Kitchen is back in business today after a brief closure, so be sure to stop by for crispy rice salad and Lao sausages while you still can. The owner is trying to keep it running for now but the 1,350sf space is up for sale (interested parties can email spicylaokitchen@gmail.com)…so its future is uncertain.

Excited to bring more dining features to the San Diego Union-Tribune, starting with a story about Wildflour, chef Phillip Esteban's soon-to-open, all-day restaurant in Liberty Station that includes expansion news about his Filipino concept, White Rice. Congrats @phillipesteban !
