About us
Welcome to San Diego & Carlsbad Foodies! 🍽️🎉
🔹 RSVP Rule: Pick one group only (San Diego or Carlsbad Foodies) to save your seat. If you see me adding “guests,” that’s just my way of merging RSVPs from both groups.
🔹 Join us for Restaurant Reviews: We eat, sip, review, and leave our worries at the door. Think of it as a delicious staycation! Let's talk about food, travel and our favorite places to eat, our favorite recipes to make.
🔹 RSVP Etiquette: Only RSVP if you will attend.
🔹 Special dietary needs? Check in with the restaurant before you rsvp.
🔹 Want to host? Got a home, clubhouse, or a great idea? Text me at 858-224-4485 and we will create an event together!
🔹 Event Hosts Wanted? If you can book a restaurant table, you can be a host! Make a reservation once or twice a month, to a place you want to go and I’ll post it. Quick training included and I will be there to support you.

Sold Out! Chef Marian's Birthday Brunch
North Park, 111 main street, San Diego, CA, USFor those of you who need a different date to celebrate my birthday with me (June 12th is my birthday and we are doing dinner) we are going to À L’ouest in North Park for my Birthday Brunch.
This new French Food Restaurant sounds lovely, and is another great suggestion by Foodies member Phyllis, so I thought we might go there. I don't know about you, but I love me some French Onion Soup!
These get sold out fast. And most restaurants today are asking for my credit card to hold the reservation, Please RSVP here, then Zelle $30 to 619-851-0808 Inside Circle right away and $20 will be returned at brunch.

Table of 6, Forchettina, Encinitas
Forchettina, 252 N El Camino Real Ste 5, Encinitas, CA, USIf you eat meat and these aren't your favorite meatballs, I will be surprised! This is a young couple for Sicily and Naples. She is in the kitchen. He runs the front. So charming. So cool. And he comes in to make the meatballs, early morning before his shift.
To give you an idea of how good this food is: That's where my family took me for lunch for my birthday because that's the food I wanted to eat. Great Cesar Salad, great Pizza, Great Meatballs, Hand made in house Pasta and amazing desserts, in addition to great wine I don't see anywhere else.
That's why I've booked it. It's for locals. That's why I am taking you there.
