THE RISING Star
How San Diego Emerged as One of America’s Great Dining Destinations
Star
Written by Jeremy Repanich
Source: robbreport.com
When John Resnick opened Campfire on a quaint little street in Carlsbad, California, in 2016, some locals weren’t sure what to think. The coastal enclave wasn’t exactly awash in innovative, chef-driven establishments, so it was a shock to see the dining room consistently full. Early on, one woman wondered aloud to Resnick, “Where did all these people come from?”
It’s a moment he remembers vividly. “I was struck by her statement, because I think she was surprised that so many other people in Carlsbad were there,” Resnick says.
The rest of the culinary world would take some time to catch up to what was happening. In 2019, when Michelin expanded to rate restaurants throughout all of California—not just the San Francisco area—Addison was the only one in San Diego to earn a star. But since emerging from the pandemic, the region’s food scene has grown dramatically. Driven by outstanding farms, ingredients, a bumper crop of talented chefs, and a G.D.P. approximately the size of New Zealand or Greece, San Diego County has become one of America’s most underrated dining destinations.
Perhaps no single restaurant is a better emblem for this shift than chef William Bradley’s Addison,

which opened in 2006. After landing his first star, Bradley knew he wanted more. To get them, he transformed his French-leaning fare to serve what he calls California Gastronomy, which combines the cultures of SoCal with impeccable ingredients and wildly impressive techniques, prizing flavor over flair. Michelin responded, awarding Addison a second star in 2022, and making it the first Southern California three-star restaurant just a year later. The accolade has created a halo effect, attracting culinary tourists from around the world.
“Earning three stars forces the global dining community to pay attention to a place that may not have been on their radar before,” says chef Eric Bost, a partner in Resnick’s four Carlsbad establishments.
Resnick recruited Bost, who spent time at award-winning outposts of Restaurant Guy Savoy, to run Jeune et Jolie, which he led to a star in 2021. They’ve since taken over an old boogie-board factory down the street and converted it to an all-day restaurant and bakery, Wildland. The space also hosts an exquisite tasting-counter experience called Lilo, which was given a Michelin star mere months after opening in April 2025. And as Resnick and Bost grew their successful Carlsbad operation, chef Roberto Alcocer earned a Michelin star for his Mexican fine-dining spot Valle in nearby Oceanside.
About 25 miles to the south, another affluent coastal community is going through its own culinary glow up. In La Jolla, chef Tara Monsod and the hospitality group Puffer Malarkey Collective opened the stylish French steakhouse Le Coq. Chef Erik Anderson, formerly of
The stylish tasting counter at Michelin one-star Lilo in Carlsbad.

Michelin two-star Coi, is preparing to launch Roseacre. And last year, Per Se alums Elijah Arizmendi and Brian Hung left New York to open the elegant tasting-menu restaurant Lucien, lured by the ingredients they’d get to serve.
“A major reason we chose San Diego is the quality and diversity of the produce,” Arizmendi explains. “San Diego County has more small farms than anywhere else in the U.S., and its many microclimates allow farmers to grow an incredible range of ingredients year-round.”
Chef Travis Swikard has also been a tireless advocate for the region’s ingredients since he returned to San Diego, his hometown, and opened Mediterranean-influenced Callie in 2021. There’s no sophomore slump with his latest effort, the French Riviera–inspired Fleurette in La Jolla, where he’s serving his take on classics like leeks vinaigrette and his San Diego “Bouillabaisse” with local red sheepshead fish and spiny lobster. Its food is bright, produce-driven, and attentive in execution,
while the dining room maintains a relaxed and unpretentious style of service. And Swikard sees that approach cohering into a regional style with a strong network of professionals behind it.
“It’s really nice that we are developing our own identity, not trying to be like L.A. or any other market, just highlighting what’s great about the San Diego lifestyle and ingredients,” he says.
“Similar to New York, a chef community is starting to develop where chefs are supporting each other. There is a true sense of pride to be cooking here.”

5 Estate Sale Finds Designers Grab
Before Anyone Else Notices
Estate sales are an incredible resource for scoring beautiful pieces of furniture, decor, and more for your space, allowing you to fill your home with one-of-a-kind finds that you won’t come across at big-box stores (or your neighbors’ homes). If you’re looking to get the most out of your next estate sale day, you’ll want to keep the following tips from secondhand-loving designers top of mind. Here, they share five items that many people overlook at estate sales but totally deserve a second glance, if not a permanent spot in your home.
Written by Sarah Lyon | Source: realsimple.com
Upholstered Pieces with Wear and Tear
“Most people overlook the sofas and armchairs, because the fabric might be sunfaded, the trim torn off,” designer Zac Mathias says of his experience at estate sales. That said, he enjoys purchasing these pieces and then reupholstering them to give them new life.
“I love picking a fun fabric and doing a contrast welt which gives it that bespoke feel,” he says. “With a little love, it might just end up being your favorite piece of furniture!”
Antique Lamps
While there are plenty of excellent modern lighting options on the market, don’t underestimate the power of an older lamp in adding warmth and personality to your home.
“People walk right past the lamps, but a well-made antique lamp has proportions that modern lighting simply cannot replicate,” says Vanessa Katzen, founder of Vanessa Katzen Design. “You can rewire it, upgrade the shade, and create an original piece that has real character and history.”
Designer Jen Dulac adds that people often overlook lamps at estate sales because they have dated, dingy, or damaged shades. “You have to look beyond the lampshade and recognize the beauty in the base (and also the finial, which can often be quite decorative and beautifully made),” she says.
Books
Julia Newman, founder of Julia Adele Design, doesn’t overlook the bookshelves at estate sales. “As an avid reader, I love discovering them, but they also bring depth and character to a space—far beyond what you’d get from a typical coffee-table book,” she says.
No worries if the covers are tattered or even removed—any well-designed library will feature titles that have clearly been pre-loved.
Art in Need of Framing
You can’t always expect to fall head over heels for a work of art and its frame when shopping at an estate sale—but it’s more than okay if a piece checks one of these two boxes!
“I immediately look for inspiring artwork that has been passed over as a result of a dated frame, yellowed mat, or a dusty piece of glass,” designer Jill Litner Kaplan says of her estate sale strategy. “Some of the greatest pieces I have ever found are born of seeing the art beyond its current presentation and imagining its potential after it has been transformed with a new frame.”
Bookends
Now that books are officially on your estate sale shopping list, don’t forget to keep your eyes peeled for bookends, too.
“Over the years, I’ve found a pair of carved alabaster birds, antique carved onyx horse heads, carved wooden and stone elephants, and solid brass pineapple bookends,” Dulac says. “They’re works of art, and they’re functional. If you don’t have enough books to fill a shelf, bookends are a great way to create smaller groupings within a larger shelf.”

Tashkent Uzbekistan
Click here to read full article by Kait McMurdo.
Set at the crossroads of ancient civilizations, Tashkent offers a compelling blend of deep‑rooted history and modern vibrancy that makes it one of Central Asia’s most fascinating destinations. As the capital, and the region’s largest city, Tashkent has long served as a cultural and commercial gateway along the Silk Road, where Persian, Turkic, Russian, and Islamic influences converge. Today, this historic foundation meets a new era of transformation: revitalized districts, contemporary architecture, and expanding international brands signal a city on the rise. Visitors experience a place where centuries‑old cultural sites stand steps away from lively boulevards, gourmet restaurants, and a warm hospitality that remains central to Uzbek life.
This cultural richness is matched by Tashkent’s rapid economic growth, making it an increasingly compelling hub for investment and business development. Uzbekistan has become one of the fastest‑growing populations in the world, drawing significant
foreign investment and fostering emerging industries such as IT outsourcing, renewable energy, and modern retail. Tashkent, in particular, is evolving into a dynamic commercial center with new business complexes, improved infrastructure, and a young, entrepreneurial workforce shaping the city’s future. Positioned as the gateway to iconic destinations like Samarkand, Bukhara, and the Chimgan mountains, Tashkent offers not only extraordinary travel experiences but also the momentum and opportunity of one of Central Asia’s most promising markets.
The Cuisine of Tashkent: Must try dishes include plov (a rice dish), halim (a slow cooked stew) and samsa (a flaky pastry with meat filling). And don't miss the legendary Uzbekistan melons!
Tashkent Specialties: The region is the world’s largest cotton producer, and also produces fruits and vegetables. The area ranks among the top ten gold producers with a large gold deposit, Muruntau.
TERRITORY SUMMARY
Tashkent is a city where modern business energy meets deep cultural heritage, creating a unique environment for both living and investment. The capital of Uzbekistan is rapidly evolving, with new business centers, international brands, and infrastructure transforming the urban landscape. At the same time, it maintains a relaxed pace of life, strong community values, and a tradition of hospitality. With a young and growing population and increasing foreign investment, Tashkent is quickly emerging as one of Central Asia’s most dynamic and promising markets.
The region has one of the fastest-growing populations in the world. For over 50 years, the population has been growing steadily, currently reaching increases of approximately 800,000 annually. Furthermore, over the past few years, it has become the largest recipient of foreign investment in Central Asia, with a rapidly growing IT outsourcing industry.
Since ancient times, it has been a key hub on the Silk Road, with the cities of Samarkand, Bukhara, and Khiva also part of UNESCO.
