OMG! kDennis You Just Made Me Laugh Out Loud at My Keynoard
And, thankfully, I wasn't sipping coffee.
Do you remember the bumper stickers in CA that were altered to to say "In-N-Out Urge"?

burger joint=Hodad's
sub shop=Poma's
coffee shop=
edit: OB, Point Loma and the one by the main post office are gone. they came back to the same spot in OB a few years ago but couldn't make it.

You guys are a hoot talkin' about food in San Diego 
I think the coffe shop is Java Jungle (or maybe it's Jungle Java, I almost always get is backwards :rolleyes
Qwiggs and Cecil's are long gone. Hodad's is kicking a**. They just opened a new store downtown close to Petco Park. Hodads Downtown
Newport has tons of restaurants and A LOT of bars these days. Azucar the Cuban bakery is great, there's a drug store mid-block with a deli in it that
makes good indepxensive sandwiches. Portugese place that no one understands how it stays in business, crappy greek and chinese, so-so Mexican, tho'
the rolled tacos at Nico's are pretty good. Eat at Nati's at your own risk.
Shades and Poms still rock. Cattycorner from Poms is a really great little wine bar called The Vine; it's how OB does wine...good food, decent wine,
laid back wait staff.

I have been to Philippe's about a hundred times, and have never had a french dip. We were always there at 6 am. You have to get the biscuits and gravy
in the morning, with your eggs. It was one of the good things about working downtown all those years.

I like the burgers at 5 guys and In-n-Out, but the Minister of Finance and Director of Family Happiness likes the fries at In-n-Out........

Ah Yes, college days and boilweavel with pitcher beer that everybody lost count of how many we had,LOL. Though we seemed to always get someone to be
our driver that did not like beer so more for us and safe ride home. WE also looked for all of the weekend bar free food as you drink beer to off set
the cost of actually buying dinner and in those days 75cent draft or $1.75 draft pitcher beer was easy to find, OH YEA!!
Now, I like the "CheeseCake Factory," In Otay Lakes for their Cuban Sandwich or any of their burgers all good, Yes their beer is also very cold---Some
things never change just less of it,LOL. Take Care & Travel Safe---"No Hurry, No Worry, Just FUN" bajafun777

The dips were fantastic......double dip was a must. Slapping on that hot mustard......wow!
Now....the pickled pigs feet were to die for! yes....I said pig's feet!
All this .......eating on a common table with saw dust on the floors. Gods.....they dont make joints like this anymore.
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

Booweevil - home of the half pound steerburger!
All this talk of burgers made us head down to 5 guys in PB for a try. Got a double bacon cheeseburger grilled onions pickles. They need to 'beef' up
the buns because the thing came apart before I was half way thru. It was tasty but I would take an In-n-Out next time. Hoodad's in OB still numero uno
in this area for burger IMEO. 
Philippe's is the best. My grandfather started a family owned a business on Verdugo road in 1931 and I grew up going to Philippe's. I remember the
$1.99 complete breakfast and the 5 cent cup of coffee. I remember going there as a kid and seeing strange looking folks who turned out to be circus
performers and workers who would meet there monthly for lunch. In the 70's I would go there with my gramps and we would be served by ladies that he
had been served by for 30 plus years and knew him by name. Whenever we would go to Chavez Ravine we would always stop and get some sandwiches to take
to the game and everyone who sat by us would ask where did you get that! Now I have customer's in the area and I get to eat there at least once a
month. Lamb and blue cheese double dip with a side of slaw or potato salad and a slice of pie. I can hardly drive by the offramp without finding
excuse to stop no matter the time of day. I ate dinner there about two weeks ago driving from Bakersfield to San Diego. yummy.

"Never closed. Never without a customer"
Well....almost. Remember when Riordan, mayor of LA, owned the place? [maybe still does] The health department closed them down for a few days so
they could shovel out some of the dirt, grime and who knows what else.
Still high on my list of places to eat in that area.

Langers is a short walk from my old union hall on 7th. If I was there during the day the B.A. would allways take you there for lunch. Downtown really
is a great place, just so far from where I want to live.

Boll Weevil..... Ah yes. Remember the slogan ? " It's not just a mouthful, It's a meal"
They were the best. had my first one in 1967 when I was still in the Navy. Never stopped eating them till they closed down.  .. I still long
for one today.

I remember when that whole deal went down. Some claimed it was all political because they shut him down for infractions that normally only required
fixing the issue. He had made some enemies in health department and they had to put guards at the doors because they could not find the keys since
they had "never closed". Rirodan still does own the joint. We went to a Lakers game at Staples this year and spent the night in La La land and had
breakfast there Sunday morning. Good eats and history.
