George's - La Jolla, CA

Recognize this? It is an order of "Fish Tacos" from George's. It was listed as Aaron Sanchez's "Best Thing I Ever Ate" and I have to agree. A unique spin on a regular fish taco. The deconstructed formula utilizes yellowfin tuna, fried avocado, cabbage, corn nuts, jalapeno aioli, petite cilantro, radish and lime.

Now that is Modern California Cuisine.

Nine Ten - La Jolla, CA

In honor of my birthday a beautiful spread was prepared for me... It was called, "Mercy of the Chef" course after, course paired with wine, came to the table... Enjoy the fast with your eyes!

Cheers with some bubbly!

Thank you Scott for making all of this possible.

Our amuse bouche for the evening - Tuna Tartare. In my opinion, it was the one of the most delicious things all night!

My goat cheese and beet salad. Very light and tasty.

Salmon Citrus Salad on the far end...

My Salmon and Farro. The salmon was cooked perfectly.

Jealous of Scott's fantastic looking Halibut!

Beef Cheek for the mister, the glaze looked amazing!

Lamb for the lady, served with fava bean puree.

Lemon curd with raspberry sorbet and freeze dried merguine. Holy yum.

Raspberry sorbet, strawberry and freeze dried meringue as well.

Can you believe all these courses? All paired with terrific wines! What an experience. I was full but in a good way. I feel like this dining experience has changed me. I am a better person for it. Thank you again Scott for arranging all of this. It was perfect.

Strolling through La Jolla...

If you have never been to La Jolla this is a pretty good run down of what to see and expect...

Enjoy!

One of the many caves - Kayakers had fun cruising through them.

Beautiful blue water and lots of birds!

Seals taking over the Kid's beach. Baby seals were everywhere!

Now go to George's during the daytime. Ask the cool waiter to take your picture overlooking the ocean. He is a pro!

Order the ceviche while your there too. It is fantastic!

Mosey on down to the Grand Colonial hotel and saddle your self up tho the lobby bar. Don't bother asking for a drink menu; order the Iron Fist brew and share!

If the ceviche didn't fill you up ask for the Cheese platter, so delicious!

My ocean front house in La Jolla - I wish. Isn't it just the cutest?

Wind & Sea - a memorable surf spot.

When walking up and down the streets burning off ceviche, beer and cheese do not get lured in by this cute cupcake shop.

The mini cupcakes are cute but they are a little dry. I do recommend you trying the Organic Strawberry Milk served in a glass container. Now, that is a score.
