San Diego has been in the public eye big time this past week thanks to the arrival of the prestigious US Open golf tournament at our beloved Torrey Pines. Weeks and weeks of preparation went into get the golf course looking camera ready, not to mention getting La Jolla prepped for the traffic, and I was lucky enough to see it all first-hand.
These days, golf pretty much equals Tiger. Every tournament preview, Nike ad, and PGA commercial features Tiger, and I think it is safe to say that no other golfer in history has ever caught the eye of a nation more than Tiger Woods. My first golf tournament experience started on Friday and I strategically placed myself in the bleachers of the 11th hole two hours before Tiger, Phil Mickleson and Adam Scott would come waltzing through.
As the hours passed, masses, no, more like mobs of people […]

For all you hamburger lovers:
These are my favorite burger joints in San Diego (not in any particular order). Eat a hamburger from one of these places and you will never want another fast food or frozen restaurant burger again.
- In-N-Out (located throughout the city). This place is simple, only selling burgers, fries, and shakes. They also keep it simple by taking cash only. This is the king of fast food burger joints. If you visit San Diego on your next vacation this is a must.
- Rocky’s Crown Pub (Pacific Beach, San Diego) - Do not get picky with your order here at this neighborhood bar. Menu items are kept simple, you order a hamburger or cheeseburger with or without fries. They cook basic burgers, no fancy ingredients. Buy a cold beer here to wash it down.
- Hodads (Ocean Beach San Diego) - If you have ever been on Newport in OB than you have seen Hodads. It is a small place wallpapered with license plates. If you love bacon this is the best bacon burger in town. Instead of adding a few slices, they stew the bacon, cook it into a patty, and add it to your burger.
- Waterfront Bar & Grill (downtown San Diego) - This a small bar located in Little Italy in downtown San Diego. This place makes a great burger and has a really laid back atmosphere.
- Classics Malt Shop - (Midway Drive San Diego) Like burger joints with a 50’s diner feel? This is the place to be. They offer burgers, malts, and more. Come every Friday night as the parking lot turns into a mini classic car show.
- Phils BBQ (Sports Arena San Diego) - Phils makes their own ground beef and cooks over an open flame. I personally never eat the burger there because their ribs are top notch. If you do not want BBQ sauce on it, let them know because it comes with it.

Here’s a summary….
The San Diego theater and arts community is a strong and innovative element within San Diego society. From the small, up-and-coming playhouses in El Cajon, North Park, and North County to the large, established theaters in La Jolla and Downtown, and the creative niche theaters and opera houses in Balboa Park – the entertainment offering of theater and arts in San Diego is abundant.
Prominent theaters in San Diego, such as La Jolla Playhouse and Civic Theater, have sent several new plays straight to Broadway. Although San Diego may seems worlds away from the snow-filled parks and raw, bold culture of New York – these two cities are forever connected through the magic of the stage.
The La Jolla Playhouse has brought the following plays to Broadway fame: Jersey Boys, Dracula, The Musical, I Am My Own Wife, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Dangerous Games, and more. It is a thrill […]

Here’s a snippet:
Have you heard about the latest hit in the world of reality TV entertainment? Tontine is famed to be a mix of Survivor and The Amazing Race, with a lovable MTV Real World flair. Tontine also offers the biggest grand price in reality TV history: 10 million dollars. 17 diverse contestants will battle by brain and body across all 7 continents for the ultimate prize. Underwhelmed? Seen this reality TV entertainment scam before?
Don’t change the channel yet, there’s a catch. In order to participate on Tontine, contestants must give up their life savings for a chance at the 10 million dollars. And what’s even worse—there is no minimum contribution and confidentiality is preserved. Although the honest businessman may give up his wealth in entirety, the eager college student next door may only give up $200. There’s no one to trust, everything to lose and everything to gain on Tontine.
