Well, I did it!  I kept my 2019 New Year’s resolution and visited 52 different La Jolla Village restaurants in 52 weeks. It was an easy resolution to keep — so much easier than losing weight or exercising every day!  My final culinary adventure included the dining companion, Kelli Metcalf La Jolla Village Merchants Association Treasurer, who joined me for my first stop and many others along the way!

Duke’s was our New Year’s Eve treat and included delicious appetizers, their famous Mud Pie and their even more famous view of La Jolla Cove.  The kayakers, waves, seals, sea lions and swimmers added to the view.  We along with thousands of other lucky folks were treated to a picture-perfect La Jolla Day.  Duke’s service, food, and drinks were the icing on the cake — or should I say the hot fudge and whipped cream on the Mud Pie?

There are over 110 restaurants and eateries in La Jolla Village. Make 2020 the year you resolve to be adventurous and try something new!
