Chef Javier Plascencia is one busy guy. I hear it’s hot in Todos Santos in the summer time, so you’ll be seeing a lot of him in the next few months.
For you oenophiles and food fanatics, Animalón is another wonderful reason to head to Valle de Guadalupe (like you needed one). 60 guests will gather under the shade of El Arbol, the hundred-year-old oak tree bordering the Magoni Vineyards at Finca Altozano. An incredible eight course meal will be served at two seatings Thursday, Friday & Saturday from July 27th – September 9th.
Tickets are available for $90pp on the website. Maybe we’ll see you there.

Pacific Standard Coastal Kitchen in Little Italy will be transitioning with a new chef and a new focus. Chef Stephen Gage who hails from the kitchens of Azul, La Valencia, Underbelly and most recently, Blind Lady Ale House, will continue to drive the ethos of using the best local and fresh ingredients available at Pacific Standard.
Chef Stephen will focus the direction of the menu toward the sea which is a perfect fit. The variety of seafood we have access to in San Diego is second to none and guests to our beautiful city should know that.
The Cur8eur has been following this chef throughout the years and watched his skills sharpen through the very different concepts in which he’s been involved. He is a well-liked chef in the community and will be a great addition to Pacific Standard.
Stay tuned. When the new menu is introduced, we will be there to share it with you.
