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.
