40:12#365 Not everything can be “tapas.” Maybe we should stop using review sites as rage therapy. Jackie’s a little overstimulated by experience restaurants. In this episode of Happy Half Hour, hosts Troy Johnson and Jackie Bryant air their pet peeves, small and large and farcical. There’s some real info here (the cost of eggs is insane), they suggest a policy for “no interruption dining,” and Troy lays out the plans for his ultimate kid-friendly restaurants, which involves stadium seating at abandoned ice rinks across the city. Very specific hopes and dreams for a utopian food and drink culture in 2025. Discover more at San Diego Magazine…
