San Diego People

o.k. My fellow sleevers. I am coming to San Diego for a convention during the summer and I will just be phasing out from soft foods to real food. Where should I eat? What are some great places I should hit up? Is there a market, other than Whole foods, where I can get prepared food for a sleever? Lastly, any cool places I should hit up? Thanks.

I live an hour north of SD but only know of "unhealthy" good places to eat in. I like to take visitors to Coronado Island and Casa beach in La Jolla to see the seals or the drive-in thats down there but you might have more of those back in Illinois...not sure if that stuff is your type of thing! Enjoy your trip and I hope you find some good healthy places to eat

After six weeks of being a good boy, I am ready for a little bad stuff. Do you know any places? I heard Slater's 50/50 has bacon.

Ooooooooh man Slater's 50/50 looks SO good!!! My sister had been pushing me to go there pre-op but I never made it. First time going there was when I was DD for her birthday and I was still on Clear liquids. I had to sit there drinking my Water while everyone dug into their fried mac n cheese and gourmet burgers. If you choose the 50/50 patty, yes it is half bacon and half beef. They give you this paper where you pick how you want it and what you want on it (they have a million things you can put as toppings)...you could get it lettuce wrapped as well. I was miserable and felt deprived when I was there but I had to have won some kind of karma good sister award It would be a bit of a drive for you...it is like 30-45 minutes north of me.

If you are in to burgers, there's a place called Hodad's in Ocean Beach. Its a cute little hamburger surfer-type joint right near the beach. Also burger related, most visitors want to try in-n-out. They can make their burgers "protein" style (lettuce wrapped)....I had one a week ago and just ate the hamburger patty. It kind of takes away from the experience when you can't have the whole thing though!

You will be able to find a ton of fresh seafood restaurants in the area as well. Personally, I liked fish taco's from a chain restaurant called Rubio's pre-op (their fried fish tacos were great)....havent been there post-op, they may have a grilled version that I never noticed. Or Wahoo's fish taco....pretty good (never had fish tacos there but the food is good!).

If you want fish tacos hit up blue Water market and grill off the 5 near airport, they are amazing! So is the fish n chips and onion rings...even though I could only eat one lol! Portions are big, my unsleeved hubby could only eat 1 taco. It was also on DDD(diners, drive ins and dives of food network) http://www.bluewater.sandiegan.com/

The best Mexican food is Casa de Pico off the 8 in east county. This restraunt used to be in old town but needed more room or it's awesomeness lol! Everything here is amazing! http://www.casadepico.com/

There is also a great diner that was on DDD too called studio diner. I love this place pre and post op! This is the place i chose for my bday meal...its that good! Pot pie, meatloaf, burgers and more! http://studiodiner.com/

Send me a MSG if there is something in particular your looking for!

San Diego here too (originally from the burbs of Chicago)! My favorite restaurant is Piatti in La Jolla. Also in La Jolla, the La Jolla Shores Hotel has a great happy hour and a view of the ocean. We always take out of towners there. If you're downtown, Pokez is awesome Mexican and Cafe Sevilla is really good tapas. Have fun at SDCC!
