5 Best Restaurants in El Cajon, California You Need to Try Before Everyone Else Finds Them

El Cajon, California — a city where the foothills cradle neighborhoods stitched with memory and migration, where the sun leans golden on Spanish-tiled roofs and the laughter of families drifts through palm-lined streets. Here, the scent of carne asada mingles with the sweetness of baklava, and every block hums with the stories of newcomers, old-timers, and dreamers who gather at tables to share more than a meal.

A San Diego man got laid off from his marketing job and started selling pizzas from his apartment, and now 3,500 people chase 15 weekly slots

A San Diego man who was laid off from his marketing job this summer is now selling pizzas out of his apartment, with more than 3,500 people competing for 15 weekly order slots, as reported by the New York Post . AJ Miller’s 15-inch pies sell out in less than 30 seconds. Miller, who is originally from Connecticut, moved to San Diego in 2020 and found himself missing the East Coast-style pizza he grew up with. Since he couldn’t find the kind of pie he wanted in Southern California, he taught himself how to make it and started documenting his experiments online. After losing his job, Miller turned the hobby into a business. What began as a text list of 75 interested customers grew into Echo Apizza, named after New Haven-style “apizza,” which is known for its thin, crisp crust and is traditionally cooked in coal-fired ovens at 800 to 900 degrees. Miller said the style is similar to New York-style pizza. His home oven tops out at 550 degrees Without a commercial oven, Miller sets his home oven to its maximum temperature of 550 degrees and bakes the pies directly on a heavy baking steel plate to push as

Number of rabid animals in California skyrockets to the most cases in nearly 30 years

Your browser does not support the video tag. California has seen the number of rabid animals skyrocket, with the most cases in nearly 30 years, according to state officials. At least 368 rabid animals were found in the Golden State so far this year, breaking a 28-year record, the California Veterinary Medical Association announced Saturday. Most of the rabid animals were bats or skunks from Southern California, according to the veterinary association. San Diego County health officials sounded the alarm in July after a rabid bat landed on the table where a family was eating lunch at the rustic Yellow Deli chain in Vista. Another diner quickly grabbed the bat with a towel and brought it to the Humane Society in Oceanside. Last month, local health officials reported the first two raccoons to test positive for rabies in Los Angeles County in more than 50 years. At least 368 rabid animals were found in the Golden State so far this year, breaking a 28-year record, the California Veterinary Medical Association announced Saturday (Getty Images) The first raccoon was found in someone’s backyard in the Westlake Village area, officials said on October 5.

Best Wineries Near San Diego: Where to Go Wine Tasting From the City

San Diego is not the first city that comes to mind for wine country, but it sits within easy reach of two distinct pockets of it. An hour north on I-15, Temecula Valley has grown into Southern California’s best-known wine region outside the Central Coast, with dozens of estates along Rancho California Road and De Portola Road pouring everything from Rhone-style whites to bold reds, several with restaurants, resorts and regular live music. Forty minutes northeast, in the rural hills around Ramona and the San Pasqual Valley outside Escondido, a smaller and quieter scene of family-run wineries and boutique tasting rooms is easy to miss unless you know where to look.
