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.

9 California Delis Stacking Pastrami, Corned Beef And Reubens On Fresh Rye

California gets plenty of hype for tacos and avocados, but its deli scene? Underrated. We’re talking pastrami piled sky-high, crispy rye, and Reubens that make portion control look like a bad joke. One legendary Los Angeles deli has been serving hot pastrami since 1947. The sandwich became a hit...

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

12 California Bakeries Specializing In Old-Fashioned Pies Made From Scratch

One apple orchard on this list stays open 363 days a year. I have to admit, that makes me curious what pie lovers do on the other two. That same farm has worked the land for over 100 years and is run by its fifth generation. Another stop on the list started as a simple fruit stand back in 1950.

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.

Praising the Bar: San Diego Brewing Co.

All too often, early entrants to the craft-beer scene eventually fall by the wayside, surpassed by newcomers zooming ahead of them on the very trails they helped blaze. But that is most definitely not the case with San Diego Brewing Co., a Mission Valley brewpub that’s been firing on all cylinders for more than three decades. That success is due, first and foremost, to the people that run the stalwart suds spot, many of which have been with the business for well a decade or more. Today, we’re proud to feature four such lively, loyal front-of-house staffers as we kick off the 2026 edition of our annual Praising the Bar feature.
