Burgers Part 3: The Not So Really Burgers – Ramen Burger and the Loco Moco – Common Theory and Trade Winds Tavern
A week passed and I was still pretty disgusted with burgers… I kept it easy and slow. Avoided burgers at all costs. Then crossed the border to get two in a row. And because I am a dumbass without a car, I had to take public transit. Hit two places that were near to each…

Burgers Part 2: A Food Bloggers Nightmare – No Tj Burgers, San Diego Only – MishMash and The Royale Reviewed
Burgers explained. I was supposed to work on a text about the best burgers in Tijuana. That was going to be my third year doing a write-up.

Burgers Part 1: Blogging in Reverse – Burgers & Beer Festival – 52 East is My Winner
September is burger month. That’s because September is burger fest and I get to be the stage manager at a burger festival. I don’t really do much, my old roommate booked the bands. I just make sure they are there on time and that they get paid. That’s about it. So I have time to…

Valle Part 2: First of all, I forgot to give special thanks to Joe Moon for taking me to Valle in the first place. Otherwise, I would have never gone. You see, my brother forgot to tell me that his friends had arrived and that they were going to Valle already… he told me when…

The End of a Fucking Era – No More Fried Chicken – Bye to Voodoo Stu and Magic Mael’s Gumbo Shack
That was it. That was the end… That was the last fried chicken Friday. And that was the last Sunday special (fried chicken again). There was a line out the door for his last day. I told Stu to save me a chicken breast and I went back two hours later when it was relatively…

Great Reception to the Change – Ok. Here We Go I Guess? – Tacos and Drinks at Cine Tonalá
Cool. A lot of support right away after saying no more tours and now writing about food. And… now it seems people are excited that I said I would be blogging more. Crap. What did I get myself into… again? “You have a lot of enemies,” remarked someone yesterday while having beers. I do and…

Tijuana Adventures Featured in TravelMag.com – Sorry, This Has Been Sort Of Abandoned – Tours are Still Active
Ahoy! To all of those who stumbled into this page of Tijuana tours and adventures. The blog has pretty much been abandoned for more than a couple of months.

Tours! TOURS! Tours! – Tijuana Adventure Activate! – Julie’s Bday Tour a Month Ago…
This webpage and blog has been somewhat abandoned. That doesn’t mean I haven’t been given tours. Quite the contrary. I was busy with tours all of January.
