The Prodigal Son is Hungry

Hey now, Gaslamp Ballaz (Ballians?).

I will not be attending the Baseball Prospectus Pizza Feed because [1] I will be at work and [2] said work is behind enemy lines (i.e. Los Angeles). However, I will be attending Saturday's throwback-uni game sans the wife (she will be in New York for the weekend).

Now the problem I have every time I head south to see the Padres is that I never have any time to hang out in San Diego. This is because I am usually with friends/in-laws/in-law friends who usually stop at my house an hour or so after I request them to show up. Then they usually have to get home immediately after the game.

This weekend, I am embarking on my first solo project. I got my tickee. I got my circa 1984 adjuatable cap (which has been jinxing the Padres in the games that I have attended, so perhaps I will now switch to the circa now, size 7 7/8 Padres roadie cap). I got my alarm set to get to San Diego early-ish.

Now the issue at hand for me is the last time I ate at a restaurant in San Diego that wasn't some random taco stand in P.B. or didn't have word "Rubio's" in its name, I was 8 years old, living in Rancho Bernardo.

Anyhoo, can anyone recommend a place to get breakfast either in the Gaslamp or some place between Venice Beach and San Diego that is so outstanding, that I should pull off the freeway.

Thanks.

And let me know if anyone is attending the game. We can have a beer and take pictures of you wearing my Bochy-esque cap on your puny little dome.

You could swing towards D.Z. Akin's. Really great food. Breakfast anytime. And since it's one of Ted Leitner's favorite places, you'd be keeping in nicely with the Padres themed trip.

There's another place in P.B. that's really good that I can't quite remember the name of. I'll find out and post it as well.

Finally, if you want something closer to downtown though a little bit nicer, you got Hash House A Go-Go. I been there once, and the food was good, but the portions are huge.
