But, I know how La Jolla is... By the way, Tom and I went to the Queen of Sheba Market, on Sutter (I think), in San Francisco, and were warmly greeted by the proprietess, who helped me find the best zatar, and gave us samples of flatbread with olive oil and zatar, as well as sweet spiced tea.

An articulate foodie - what a thrill! I will try A.R.Valentien - actually it's already on my list, but we were looking for lunch. Foam is overrated, but fun. The main point is that the lunch was a surprise in a town that can have "upscale tourist food" written all over it. Ciao Alex - you’re a gem. An articulate foodie - what a thrill!

Jason K is tres talented. We ate there on my birthday last year and had so many wonderful wines by the glass and tasting courses I could have ended my life right then and there and never missed the next 20 years. When you're in LJ again try the A.R.Valentien at the Lodge-- a very different style but one of my favorite places. I’m not a foam fan– but yes, you’re right. Jason K is tres talented.
