Rafter Roberts
Live: University Heights (my favorite part of town!)
Work: Kensington
How long: 12 years
Breakfast: Oh man! It would be hitting up the Sunday Farmer's Market in the Hillcrest DMV parking lot for some tamales. There's this one lady who makes the best tamales I've EVER HAD (sorry mom.) Plus you can pick up some good produce for cooking during the week and some beaaaauuutiful flowers.
Lunch: The original El Zarape on Park Ave, just about anything from there is a delight and their salsa bar is simple but PERFECT. If my imaginary friend was in the mood for margaritas as well, the new El Zarape on Adams Ave has amazing soy ceviche tostadas and a great house margarita. My wife and I love Zarape so much that they did our wedding food... mmmmmm....
Dinner: we'd head to The Station in South Park, and chow some spicy black bean burgers and sweet potato fries that my trumpeter J Crane cooked up for us! We'd have a couple drinks and enjoy the awesome architecture. Plus, it's right next to my favorite spot for dancing in SD.
Bar: The Whistlestop has my favorite DJs and dancing in town, cheap good drinks, and a non-stuffy vibe that just feels nice and homey. The Casbah, Soda Bar and The Tin Can have some great live music, great drinks, and friendly folks there, too. I think that San Diego is really blossoming right now and I'm super happy to be able to be here to enjoy and participate! The night would have to end up at Starlite, enjoying a perfect cocktail and superb ambiance.
