A bit overdue with these odds and ends.
Trade Winds Tavern Soft Opening:
Been watching this spot since Char Hut closed. And was kind of curious when I read the Application for Ownership Change announcing the new business, then the Help Wanted sign mentioning a Asian themed Gastropub. So, does Common Theory have some serious competition? Stay tuned. Meanwhile, enjoy the soft opening prices until the end of February.

Dudley's Deli Becoming Tahini Street Food:
Almost didn't notice this one.
Sadly, Dudley's in Kearny Mesa just never gained any traction. Now it's becoming something named Tahini Street Food.

The Sign for Ramen Ultra is up:
Been watching this location rather carefully. The sign for the shop is up.
Noticed when I went to pick up lunch at Beauty Hunan. Ready for more ramen?

Continuing my "Hut Streak":
So, "Sandy" left a comment on my Noodle Hut post, after I mentioned doing "Two Huts in Three Days". She asked me: What's next - Pizza Hut? Apparently, Cathy read that comment and thought it was a hoot. So, I thought, "ok, why not"? The only problem was.....I don't recall the last time I actually saw a Pizza Hut and let Cathy know. She believes that I just block those places out. So, after doing a Google search, I found a Pizza Hut nearby....doesn't seem to have too many of them left, in Clairemont Town Square. I headed on over......by the time I reached the parking lot, I already had....hmmmm......how to describe it, "buyer's pre-morse"? And upon finding that it looked like a take-out only shop, I decided to turn around and head back to the car.
Yes...you could say that I....."chickened - Hut".
Still, wanting to keep my "hut-streak" going for one more day, I found a place that fulfilled the criteria.
It must have been fate, because I found a parking space in the worst lot on Convoy.
And had some Wings - "Naked"....sauce on the side. Nicely fried.
So there you go. I think three "Hut posts" in a row is enough.
Over and "Hut".
Crab Hut

And finally.....
Wow, Is It Closed?:
Well, I'm not 100% sure.
Other than the brown paper blocking things out....the light are still on. Still, if Great Wow did close like this; it would probably fit the rather interesting pattern of how they opened.

I forgot about Crab Hut! I think nearly all the Pizza Huts are take-out only now. And I just saw that Dudley's had closed.

Wow! Didn't last long...
Trade Winds has a nice menu. I'm interested in wings and ribs.

Hi Sandy - I did take in your suggestion! ;o)
Wow, yes it didn't Soo!

Great Wow kinda merged with Trinitea in Hillcrest, with a smaller menu.

You forgot Pho Hut! Although their food's nothing special. Can't wait for Ramen Ultra.

Hey GT - Yeah, I noticed the sign back in November. But thought they were expanding:

LOL Junichi....I was "burned hut" after 3 huts!

ARE there any good "Huts"? Tandoori Hut in Hillcrest is also terrible.

Loving Hut is not terrible I suppose, if vegan fake meat is your thing, but it's not exactly good, either.
Crab Hut so far seems to be "king of the huts"!

I dunno Jenne....I'm all "hut" of places it seems! CH is probably the best of the lot. I mean, we could always start on the "Shacks", "Village", and even "Towns"? ;o( Hope all is well. It's nice to hear from you!
Posted by: Kirk | Tuesday, 21 February 2017 at 11:46 AM
Things are going well! I was excited to hear Great Wow isn't gone for good.
Maybe you should open a restaurant called Hut Shack? :)
Posted by: Jenne B | Wednesday, 22 February 2017 at 05:03 PM
I'm thinking "Hut Shack Village" Jenne? Then we're basically covered!
