sdrealtor, I don’t get why you think area like SV, CV, 4S, PQ, RB, MM, etc are souless. They have much more than big food chain if you expand your taste to more than American food. There are many family owned food place. Tell me, where do you go to eat Vietnamese, Chinese, Indian, Korean, Japanese food in Encinitas, Cardiff, Solana Beach, Del Mar? All the best places for those type of food are family owned and are South of the 56. Tell me where you’d go if you want to go to buy fresh veggies and ingredient to cook asian food?
