As the weather cools down, THIS is the perfect spot to warm your soul 🔥🍲

Jomaru Korean Hot Pot is serving up Korea’s #1 comfort dish — Gamjatang (감자탕), a spicy pork bone hot pot that’s cozy, rich, and packed with flavor 🇰🇷.

Tender fall-off-the-bone pork, chewy vermicelli noodles, and a slow-simmered broth that builds from comforting to craveable with every bite 😮‍💨 — this is the kind of meal that hugs you from the inside.

We got their Gamjatang, a hearty pork bone stew loaded with potatoes, cabbage, and bold spice.

The Gyeranjjim was soft and fluffy, perfect for cooling things down between bites, and the banchan.

Endless little sides with slurpable vermicelli noodles soaking up all that broth goodness.

Pro tip: when you’re done, ask for bokkeumbap — rice stir-fried right in your leftover broth 👏 it’s the ultimate finisher!

✨ Gold Dust Roll – salmon, avocado, cucumber inside; seared salmon, masago, spicy mayo, and chili oil on top 🔥

🧋 Finished it off with their cold, refreshing green Thai tea boba. Absolute perfection.

If you love burgers, then you gotta try this 🤩

Today, I hit up RomBomb Burger  in Miramar, and let me tell you, this spot is bringing the HEAT! 🔥

Chef Romin is flipping some insane burgers out of a commercial kitchen on Wednesdays, plus serving them up at breweries and for catering gigs throughout the week.

The Vibes:

Romin’s twist on a smash burger? Not super thin, and it’s cooked on a CAST IRON skillet for that extra flavor punch (he swears no one else is doing this 👀).

🍔 What I Tried:

1️⃣ RomBomb DUB – $9 🍔 Double patty perfection with 85/15 Harris Ranch beef, melty American cheese, sweet sliced onions, and a tangy house-made sauce. It’s juicy, sweet, tangy, and absolutely dripping with goodness. 🤤

2️⃣ The Guga Burger – $9 🍔 A single patty stunner with the same savory magic in every bite. Slightly more balanced, but equally amazing!

✨ Plus, a side of tater tots ($3) for the win! 🥔🔥

Want to know where to find them next or snag a pre-order for pickup in Miramar on Wednesdays? 👉 Check out their Instagram:  🍔🔥

Would you believe this soft serve 🍦 is low-calorie?! 👀🔥

San Diego’s newest spot just opened in PB — serving creamy, dreamy soft serve bowls made with True California Milk, no seed oils, and no fake flavors or coloring.

Everything’s clean, natural, and tastes just like the real thing 💯

They’ve got 10 flavors like Italian Chocolate 🍫, Matcha Queen 🍵, and Hazelnut de Chocolato (their twist on Nutella 🤤). You can sample first, build your own bowl, or grab a Brizzy — where all your toppings are mixed in for the perfect bite every time 😍

And the best part? They’re literally a block from the ocean 🌊. It’s the ultimate post-beach treat!

Check them out in PB and let me know which flavor was your favorite!

Ever had a bite so soft, buttery, and rich it melts before you can even chew? 😮‍💨🍞

That’s what went down when I tried .desserts — a new local baker in San Diego bringing Greek vibes to the dessert game 🇬🇷✨

They’re serving Tsoureki, a sweet braided bread that’s like if brioche and a cloud had a baby — soft, chewy, and stuffed with unreal fillings 🤤

Here’s what we tried 👇

🍫 Nutella Pull — pure gooey goodness
🥥 Coconut Cloud — light, fluffy, and tropical
🍪 Biscoff Bliss — cookie butter heaven
🔥 CinnaSIN — sweet heat in every bite
🖤 Oreo Madness — chocolatey, creamy, absolute magic

Not gonna lie… these are unlike any bread I’ve ever had 🔥

From surfboard to superfoods 🏄‍♀️➡️🥣

Say hello to Juice Wave, the beachside baddie that went from an organic juice truck in 2014 to a full-blown Mission Beach staple in 2015 🌴✨ Founded by chef Arleigh Rose (who btw, used to work in Michelin-starred restaurants 👩‍🍳🌟), this spot is all about clean, craveable fuel made with local love 💚

They keep things fresh with a rotating lineup of seasonal fruits 🍓🍑🍍— so you’ll always find something new to vibe with.

Here’s what I got:

🥜 Acai Bowl with Peanut Butter – $14.50 + $1.50 for that dreamy PB drizzle (and YES, it’s worth every drop)

🌊 Wave Bowl – $14.50, stacked with tropical goodness like banana, mango, coconut, and granola. Bonus? It’s named after San Diego Wave FC ⚽💙

Whether you’re post-surf, pre-tan, or just vibin’ on the boardwalk, Juice Wave is that spot 🙌🏽
