Sunday Stuffs: The sign for Hinotez Curry Rice has come down, Yamadaya sure is taking their sweet time, how to eat Soba and other silliness.

A few quick items for a beautiful Sunday in San Diego.

The sign for Hinotez Curry Rice has come down:

I'm not quite sure if this is good news; as in they've got their ABC permit, or if they've simply given up and are moving on. I visited a couple of times, but after a while, the same 'ol single type of curry got a bit repetitive. Don't get me wrong; I'm all for those places that do one thing well.......I just didn't think it was good enough to be sustainable.

Anyway, I'm hoping for the best.

5185 Clairemont Mesa Blvd.
San Diego, CA 92117

Yamadaya sure is taking it's sweet old time:

Well it was all the way back in April of last year when I first read about Yamadaya opening downtown. Well, let's see it's June of 2014 and the place still doesn't look to be near completion. I took this photo on Friday when I headed downtown to meet some good friends.

On the bright side, at least the sign is up....that only took about a year.....

950 6th Avenue
San Diego, CA 92101

I need to pay more attention when companies ask to use my photos:

I'm not sure if it was because I was quite busy or what. A publication asked to use one of my photos, which I usually do so long Creative Commons stanards are followed....so I didn't pay much attention. Anyway the result of this one is kind of funny.....since this is the photo being used.

Man, this one is too juicy(no pun intended), there's literally a goldmine of tasteless puns and jokes here. The long and short of it (again no pun intended) is that my photo of beef penis can be seen all over Texes. And what? I thought everything was bigger in Texes? Couldn't they find their own pizzle? What a d![k...literally.

How to eat soba for Faye:

Lovely Faye surprised me with a question on my Kokoro post. "How do you eat the soba". Whoa......I never thought about needing to know how to eat soba.....I guess since I've been eating it all my life. Anyway, here's a funny, cheesy, video you might like Faye!

Enjoy!

[kat]

that's one thing I cannot do, slurp...too afraid to get tsuyu on my clothes :)

[Kirk]

LOL Billy.....

Hi Kat - I get a kick out of watching prim and proper looking ladies slurping away!

[Dennis]

Hi Kirk, I heard that Hinotez spot was meant to be a prep kitchen for the other restaurants, but yeah not sure if they're out of there for good.
I can eat soba without slurping but that'd be like having a steak and asked not to chew. I can do it but I won't enjoy the meal as much. Japanology has a great bit on Soba too that I enjoyed a lot.

HI Dennis - I actually have an update on that spot. I'll post later in the week. It's really hard eating soba ithout slurping...but if I'm worknig, I gotta "save my shirt"!

Funny, huh CC?

Hi Kirk,

Eater SD posted about the Hinotez spot in May saying that it will be turned into "Yakitori Taisho." http://sandiego.eater.com/archives/2014/05/12/expansionwire-19.php

Hopefully that look just means they don't want anyone looking inside as they remodel.

[Kirk]

Thanks for the update Derric. That's what I just heard too. Missed it because we left for our trip on the 11th.

What on earth do they need that picture of the um....beef pizzle...for?! Hahahah.

[Faye]

I watched that vid with sis last night and it made us laugh. We didn't grow up with 'dipping noodles' (if that makes any sense). We tried our first Tsukemen after I read about your Raki post last year. Will have to try out the soba dish soon -

[Kirk]

Hi JS - It was for an article on some Asian market opening and the stuff they sell.

I'm glad you enjoyed the video Faye! Have fun slurping around.

[Lynnea]

[Kirk]

It is quite funny Lynnea! Glad you liked it.
