Traveling can be quite strange.
Especially with a strange co-worker.
My co-worker is strange in the best way possible – the food-loving way! I’ve been gone all week so there is no recipe today. I do have pictures though! Here is the best of San Deigo:
Sambazon acai bowl
BBQ Tempeh Pizza
Egg spring roll (I think) at Phuong Trang
Pork and Shrimp Cakes
Craft food heaven at Urban Solace

If I lived here, I’d be 500 lb and super happy.
Do you try new things when to travel?
Any must-trys in California?
Oh wow!! BBQ Tempeh Pizza?? Now THAT is strange – but it looks amazing!!
Glad you have found a strange-food co worker. Nothing better than that. My office is filled with portuguese and spanish architects – they eat really really strange things. It’s me who stares in wonderment when the unpack their food. Happy Weekend lovely lady!!
It was soooo good! I need to recreate it! I’m loving my package!!! you rock. 🙂
Oh the food! I’m stuck on the egg with BBQ Tempeh Pizza. Genius!
Right?! I’m going to be making that at home!
That all looks interesting and so good! My newest addiction (which may not be weird but its new to me!) is adding cream cheese into my omelet! It makes its so creamy and delicious.
Yes! I used to get dill, caper, ream cheese, and salmon omelets. Best combo!
try an acai bowl!! we don’t have them in st louis so totally loved them in cali!!
Laura, I think the linkup isnt working 🙁
In other news, all your food sounds wonderful….except I am unfortunately not a fan of eggs….so the pizza is out! I have a giant spreadsheet for every state of things I want to try haha! Tooooo many to mention!
It is now… sorry! 😉
oooh, those spring rolls look divine
BBQ tempeh pizza? Yes please! I do like to try new things when I travel. Usually it’s actually having vegetarian/vegan options that are more than just a dish minus the meat. Philly was amazing b/c I could go in and order tempeh or seitan just about anywhere. Novel concept – protein for the vegetarian.
Philly has some great food. I was shocked when I went!
The acai bowl looks amazing. Where is Sambazon? Yesterday I was underfed, living on snacks I brought with me and the meager offerings from the hotel continental breakfast. At least until the afternoon when I made it to Evolution Fast food, which is wonderful and all vegan, where I stocked up.
That was actually in Newport, but I think there are several on the West coast. I want to move there. Sigh.
Whoa there’s a lot of strange in this post but it all sounds strangely good!! 😉
All the way to San Diego and you didn’t pop up to L.A. to say, “Hi?!”
It’s cool, I see how it is…. 🙂
Looks like you had a delicious trip! Super curious about that BBQ Tempeh pizza…you should recreate for us!!
I know I know… what’s worse is that I was in Newport too! It was mostly work… I’m going to plan a fun trip one day!
I have never been to the West Coast! I’ve always wanted to, but flying scares me, and a flight to Cali from PA is like over 6 hours… eek!! I am such a baby, haha.
When I travel, I definitely like to try new foods and restaurants!
You need to go!!! just have some wine before you get on the plane. That’s what my moms does. 😉
I’ve never been to San Diego, but I loved all my food in Cali. Take me next time?? 😉
Of course! We should have a Blend there. 🙂
I wish i could be your co-worker and be there with you! strange it up in san diego!
We would have killed it! There was something new to eat every 5 feet it seemed!
So it all looks so good!
I love to try new things when I travel (but you knew that!) – and I can’t wait to travel back to Cali next month. 🙂
Fact: I can NOT say San Diego the way that it’s supposed to be pronounced. Instead I have to say it the Ron Burgundy was “Sahn Dee-ya-go”
I had a lot of great seafood and Mexican food in Cali last weekend. The most memorable were shrimp + avocado tacos at Huntington Beach… mmmm……
I’m tempted to call you right now and demand to hear this…
it all looks so good, keep on keeping it strange haha
have a great time!
we love trying new things in new cities!!
Girls, we would have had a blast there together! I may be heading down to FLA soon…
I am horrifically pissed off that you were in San Diego and NOT Los Angeles. I am STRANGE IN THAT I LOVE STRANGE FOOD and I would have taken you to my fave hole in the wall places and we would have gotten FOOD STONED! — This just motivates you to come back to Cali, RIGHT?!
It was a work trip!!! One day, I swear! You need to come to ATL too. So there.
You travel well, my friend. We really need to eat together sometime.
Yes. When are you coming to see me?
A beautiful city! I am loving that first pic! 🙂 Hope you had a great time!
It’s one of my favorites. I wish I’d had more time!!!
Hope you were able to try True Foods! When I was in the states I went and got an Acai bowl at least once a day one day was twice, i am kind of REALLY obsessed and wish they had acai out here in Bangkok, at least we have dragon fruit but acai tastes better in my book! Happy you enjoyed SD! xo C
I didn’t get to!!! I’ll have to go back. Darn… LOL! You should come with. 😉
I love Sambazon! So good. And some of this is different but it really looks delicious!
Looks like you had a fun partner to taste your way around San Diego!
Have you ever been to Cafe Gratitude? I went there when I was in Santa Cruz a few years ago. It was pretty neat seeing what all they can make with raw foods…though I could NEVER live on that diet! But the BEST meal I ate was at the Blue Mermaid in San Francisco. Dungeoness crab and corn chowder, parmesan-crusted scallops with greens and TWO glasses of wine…all enjoyed while dining solo on the patio! ! Holeeeeeeeey HELL that meal was amazing!!
PS, I want that yolkporn-topped tempeh pizza!!
YES! In San Fran. I order “I am super” just because I wanted the waitress to tell me how super I am.
