We started out Sunday by eating at Cafe 222 downtown. Mike got the idea from watching "The Best Thing I Ever Ate" on the Food Network. They were doing a breakfast feature, which is my favorite food so I kept it on, and Bobby Flay was on talking about their stuffed French Toast here. I tried a bite of Mike's and I must say that it was amazing. My waffle was probably the best waffle I have ever eaten...it was perfectly cooked and crunchy and the perfect color. To top it off, the atmosphere worked very well for the place. It was very upbeat and a great way to start the day.
After some fun walking around SeaPort and SeaWorld, and a trip driving around La Jolla, we decided to FINALLY go to the Strip Club in the GasLamp District. The Strip Club is very sports bar meets lounge, meets high-end steak house. The food is all designed to be shared with dozens of huge sides. The first thing you choose is your cut of meat, it is after all a steak house. they bring you a salad (included) and then your cut of meet and a basket of garlic bread on a tray with some tongs. So when you are ready, you get up and go season your meat and grill it yourself. It's a fun way to relax and I don't think I've ever eaten a steak that good...not even at Ruth's Chris. Although, if you really think about it, the idea is a genius for the owners.... you're paying to cook your own food. :-P
Other than the food, the trip has been pretty cool. We saw some of Mike's friends catch a lobster of Ocean Beach Pier. There were dolphins spotted off of Crystal Pier as well as birds actually diving in the ocean to catch fish. And of course, Mike went and putted at Torrey Pines. All in all, the trip was great, I'm just sad to be back so soon.
