NORTH PARK —
Carnitas' Snack Shack is celebrating their first anniversary (read Eater San Diego's One Year In interview with the chef, Hanis Cavin) with a free party starting at 6 p.m. tonight. They're roasting up two local pigs (Taj Farms, Tzaddik Farms) in a Caja China and will give away desserts and other goodies. [EaterWire]
NORTH PARK — If you missed Chad White's inaugural Plancha Baja Med dinner last week, he's popping up again tomorrow at Carnitas' Snack Shack. There are seats available for both the 6 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. seating. Chef White just returned from a weekend trip to Baja, so the menu has fresh inspiration (yuca gnocchi with squid ink, apple brulee w/lardo and rosemary-jalapeno seed dust). [EaterWire]
LITTLE ITALY — Take a gander at Monello's new breakfast and brunch menu, there's house made pastries and frittatas for breakfast and a weekend brunch sourced directly from farmer's market vendors at the Little Italy Mercato. [EaterWire]
