Supper Club with Bite San Diego

A few months ago, I saw a deal on Livingsocial.com for something called Bite San Diego.  It was a $29 voucher for a three hour walking restaurant tour through the Gaslamp District and Little Italy.

I forwarded the deal to my supper club buds and we all purchased the deal and scheduled our date.

The restaurant stops were:


We started at Royal India where we had an appetizer plate of indian food which was very tasty.  I'm not a big fan of indian food, but I would go back to this place.  We received a coupon for a return visit.
Here is our tour guide Eddie.
We then walked to the Horton theater and then to the U.S. Grant.
A funny story Eddie told us was about President Grant who signed a bill taking the native lands away from the native americans and starting the reservations.  The U.S. Grant hotel land once belonged to the Kumeyaay band.  President Grant's wife and son built the hotel.  It is appropriate that now the Kumeyaay band now owns the hotel and they have their land back.

We stopped for sangria and cheese coated popcorn and the Currant next.
After walking past the Spreckles Theater.
Next was a stop for beer at the Karl Strauss Brewery where we got a lesson on beer brewing.  It seems that this was the first micro brewery ever.
Janet was really enjoying the tasting.
Next to the last stop was shrimp and scallop ceviche at Indigo Grill.
And our last stop were mini cannoli at Cafe Zucchero.
We had a great time and stopped for yogurt at Yogurt Land.
