Just wanted to let you all now that it’s official – I will be opening up R Gang Eatery in June! Located at 3683 5th Ave, I will be taking over the space from Joe & Lisa Busalacchi – they are moving Busalacchi’s on Fifth (which has been in the same location for 24 years!!!) just a few doors down, so we’ll all be neighbors! R Gang Eatery will feature a Contemporary Retro-American menu, in a fun, open, fluid space that will have you craving more food, and staying for more cocktails!
Stay tuned for more info to come, and I can’t wait to see you all at R Gang Eatery!
Sooooo…finally have some big big BIG news to announce….and that news is….going to have to wait until 4/20.
If you’re in the SD area and want to see what it is that I have been so secretive about (I’m sure you may have an idea…but the real details are being announced at the event), then come to The Center for the monthly event Two Cents with Aaron Heier. Aaron is not only a PR maven, but social do-gooder, and an amazing friend. The event starts at 7pm, with some tasty tidbits and something to whet your whistle provided by Urban Mo’s.
I hope to see you all there, so I can share my news with you LIVE!!!!
Keep Cooking!

So I’m officially now hooked on this show, and have my DVR set to record it every Friday, in case I’m too busy to watch it!
Have you signed the petition to overhaul the US Schools’ Food System? Sign up HERE!!!!!! We have to realize, as a people, that we CAN make a difference in the way we all eat – including children at schools. I know, personally, I would have preferred a freshly prepared meal, as opposed to an overly processed junk food meal. I’m interested to see how Jamie will fare tonight against High School Students – I remember at my HS we had a pizza line, to buy slices of Little Ceasars’ Pizza in place of normal lunch. Plus, we had a separate line that was soft serve ice cream, Little Debby snack cakes, etc – all things that teens and kids LOVE to eat, but are slowly killing us from the inside out!
This is the kind of food I grew up eating in school – where I became overweight and have stayed chubby ever since. Sure, I could’ve eaten something else, but even eating meals that follow the strict food guidelines given to school lunch programs, you notice that they are still overly processed and unhealthy!
Do your part and sign the petition today. I don’t even have kids, but I want to see changes made. What do you think? Leave me a note in the comments below! Be a part of the Revolution, and let me know when you’ve signed the petition!
