This last Thursday/Friday our office went down to San Diego to work with our central office. While we were there we got to try a little of San Diego's night life. We went to a great place called Craft & Commerce which a friend was able to get us a table at. There are so many wonderful and just plain interesting restaurants in the city which Ben and I would never be able to find or get into on our own. The decor was entertaining and well done (earthy materials like brick, reclaimed wood and books) and the food was fantastic. A little butcher-meets-farmer's market-meets-night club. There seems to be a trend of young, hip, educated people starting concept restaurants that serve edgy, high-quality food at very reasonable prices and I know I'm all for it. Ben had a fantastic craut dog and I had one of the best house salads (with fresh greens, pickled onions and thinly sliced radishes and a fantastic vinaigrette and chicken) and absolutely the most divine sweet potato fries EVER. Just the right balance of crispy and tender with a kick from thyme and blue cheese. They make their own aioli dips and dressings and you can tell. Yum.
