Dinner in Little Italy, Downtown San Diego which has been “a stable ethnic business and residential community, since the 1920′s.” Only a few minutes walk from Billy Jr’s place… so very convenient and we can see why they love where they live! Little Italy is central… right next to Interstate-5 and the San Diego International Airport. So many choices for dining here! Our choice for the evening – Burger Lounge.

I know I’m supposed to try their burgers but I’ve never tried Quinoa before. Quinoa seems to be 2013’s Food Fad and I’m behind the times. But after reading the nutritional benefits (…protein rich, rich in fiber plus magnesium, contains iron…) of adding quinoa in your diet, why not give it a taste.

I order the ORGANIC QUINOA SALAD (Ingredients: Organic Quinoa, Arugula, Spinach, Kale, Roasted Baby Squash, Corn, Tomato, Red Onion, Toasted Almonds, Feta, Smoked Tomato Vinaigrette).

Verdict: Thumbs up!

Someone ordered a Lounge Chocolate Shake. Wow, it looks good. Had to order one with no regrets… Yum-yum!!!
