We finally have a CD in San Diego and it’s as good as the ones I have visited in Arizona.   Plus this location has sushi, outdoor patio seating and live music.

The 36 hour ribs are amazing. The meat falls right off the bone!

Everything on the menu is amazing, but the pretzel bites always steal the show.

Culinary Dropout in Del Mar brings a fun, laid-back vibe with upscale comfort food and killer cocktails. The trendy space, live music, and lively patio make it a standout. Don’t miss the pretzel bites or fried chicken. A perfect spot for brunch, happy hour, or dinner with friends—cool, casual, and delicious.

Great spot in Del Mar for a casual happy hour. $5 wines by the glass and the $6 house salad were my faves
