Once upon a time I had a page called "the Big List" for San Diego, it listed all my San Diego eating establishments by location and I even tried to update periodically and move posts for places that has closed. Unfortunately, the "big list" got too big, and the page wouldn't load. Of course, photos and all those closed establishments going back to May 2005 would make for a lot of data.
Recently, I've had folks requesting a list by location. So, after some thought, I've decided to give this another try. This time only restaurants that we know are open. I'll try to update periodically as well.
So here goes!
