Mainly food.

I like the Fire Birdy. Or if you are really hungry get the giant wet burrito. But I have a feeling I'm too late now for recommendations.

Yep. Sage hit me up with a Karl Strauss suggestion. Had the burger as I haven't had one in a long time with my current diet. 2hr lunch breaks are nice, especially with beer. thrown in

Mainly food.

Lumpia, poutine sandwich, and brisket rolled tacos were all tasty. I've been a fan of a lot of what I've had there. Spring rolls are good but they are pretty spicy which I wasn't expecting.

It’s so frustrating that the Vons on 30th carries swamis but doesn’t refrigerate it. Isn’t that going to ruin it a lot faster?

 

[quetzalcoatl]

Anybody had the new food place in rip current?

If you’re local to that area, you know Bottlecraft is 2½ blocks south, right?

Most Vons get a lot of swami's and it tends to be split with some in cooler and some on end caps.

There's new food? Cause Sublime has sucked ass for the last year

Yes, and initial reports are MUCH better!

Those are 2 giant blocks though. And Vons has a parking lot while 30th & University may want to make you give up entirely.

You're not kidding.

If I drive over that way to University, I usually do a lap or two around looking for a space and then just give up and pay money to park in the lot across from NPBC. That really saves the headache.

ngl, the last time I tried to find parking in that area I was tempted to drive back home and rent one of those Bird scooters.

That would be about....2 trips into NP from Mira Mesa.

all in all, cheaper than a DUI

 

[sdreaper]

Significantly....but once I realize I am in NP, I feel bad about myself. So I remain up here, in a corner, inside Alesmith...or else out on the patio at O'Brien's.

 

[quetzalcoatl]

Bottlecraft is close to me. I’m more complaining about the lack of refrigeration than availability. There’s fat boys too

 

[riko1]

Doesn't Bottlecraft have warm IPAs, too?

Yep. Bine & Vine or bust for hoppy beers if you aren't buying directly from the brewery.

I don't think the one in Solana Beach does.

 

[souredstouts]

I don't think the one in Solana Beach does.

I have never seen IPAs out of a fridge at Solana Beach, unless it is being drank.

That's a bit of a haul from the Vons on 30th.

They are all cold at the North Park location.

Anybody had the new food place in rip current?

I have. So far so good! Diggin the "Creeper" shrimp tacos! Here's a rough example of the base menu. They are doing a lot of menu expansion and will eventually do pizzas. http://www.monstercraftsfoodtruck.com/menu

 

[arren]

All this hubbub about warm IPAs when, let's be real, Pizza Port cans are incredibly resilient, even on the floor of a chain supermarket. I've had three month old Swami's I've forgotten in my humid pantry that's been better than most freshies out there.

And let's not forget the price point!

 

[rcubed1]

Don't sleep on North Park's 2nd Anniversary Hazy DIPA, damn tasty and a solid price for cans ($18/4pk).

Confirmed, probably the best local hazy I've had

Had a can yesterday and can confirm this. I’m taking a can or two to Homebrew Con to share.

That's what I was saying...
