San Diego Restaurant Week is back, offering diners a chance to explore the city's diverse food scene with over 100 participating restaurants. The event provides a unique opportunity to try new cuisines, discover hidden gems, and celebrate San Diego's culinary excellence.
San Diego Restaurant Week is back, starting January 26th, with over 100 local restaurants participating. This biannual culinary celebration, hosted by the San Diego County Chapter of the California Restaurant Association for over two decades, offers diners a chance to explore the city's diverse food scene at more affordable prices. Chef Javier Sevilla of Temaki, a restaurant known for its casual dining and fine dining experiences, emphasizes the growth of San Diego's culinary scene.
He recalls how aspiring chefs once flocked to Los Angeles for inspiration, but now San Diego has become a destination in its own right. Sevilla highlights the opportunity for diners to try something new during Restaurant Week. Temaki is offering a $45 sushi menu for lunch and dinner throughout the week, featuring handrolls and specialty nigiri. In a heartwarming gesture, the restaurant is also introducing a special roll called 'Chente,' named after legendary Mexican singer Vicente Fernández. All proceeds from this roll will benefit the LA Relief Fund, as a show of support for communities struggling in the wake of recent disasters. Chef Sevilla explains his connection to Fernández's music and his family's tradition of celebrating through his songs. He emphasizes the importance of unity and support during challenging times. He also mentions the historical significance of a Los Angeles restaurant named 'Marisco Chente' where Anthony Bourdain once interviewed the Diaz brothers, adding another layer to the tribute. Meanwhile, Chef McArthur, of the Fairmont Grand Del Mar, encourages diners to embrace the opportunity to explore new cuisines and take advantage of the affordable prix fixe menus. He emphasizes the chance to visit restaurants they might not typically frequent, gaining a deeper understanding of their culinary offerings. Chef McArthur suggests diners skip the home cooking and savor the diverse flavors San Diego has to offer during this special week. Organizers recommend making reservations at participating restaurants, as tickets are not required. For a complete list of participating restaurants and their menus, visit [Website Address]
