Bi-national artist Paola Villaseñor, known as Panca, is from Chula Vista and has spent over half her life in Tijuana. After her mother's death in 2005, she moved to Tijuana, where she found inspiration in the city's creativity, nightlife, affordability, and danger. Her art reflects themes of feminism and humanity's decay. "With art, you work with your heart, and it can become dark when you expose your vulnerability, but it's also pure. Art has been my therapy, my burden, and my savior." Panca's career took off with her solo show, “I Am the Architect of My Own Misfortune,” at Bread & Salt in 2020, accompanied by her first book, “Los Perdidos.” Her mural "Respect the Paleteros," featuring a distressed and melting ice cream cone, has become an icon in San Diego's Barrio Logan neighborhood.This episode mentions the Slow Baja Winter Expedition, Benchmark Maps Baja Road and Recreation Atlas, and the Pee Sport Bottle.Follow Panca on InstagramSupport the Slow Baja PodcastSubscribe to our YouTube ChannelBuy Baja Bound Insurance

How does the FRIENDS theme song go? But, I'll be there for you, when the rain starts to pour. I'll be there for you, like I've been there before. I'll be there for you, cause you're there for me too. Today, my longtime friend of over twenty years, Ernesto, joins me. We both have our share of trials and triumphs, we've only touched the surface on this episode but we touched on the depth of what friendship is and I give my "flowers" to him. I share how he was there for me and played a part in helping me navigate a big season of my life. Ernesto shares some of his life, some dark mental places he's been in, and went on to share how we can be there for others - family or friends. It is often said, we can't pick who our family is but we can pick who our friends are.  I am so thankful for my friends. There are moments and seasons where we've been active in each other's lives to help one another out of them, or simply been a form of encouragement.  Pick your friends wisely and always be that good friend in return.   Make sure you checkout Ernesto's spot Barrio Dog  at Petco Park, Barrio Logan, and his new spot in San Antonio!  You can follow their IG accounts for San Diego  and San Antonio   Be sure to follow me at With Priscilla  on IG and please share, follow, and give us stars so the podcast can be shared and heard.   Have a blessed day!          

Our HHH guest this week, the legendary Trey Foshee of George's at the Cove, has been in San Diego's restaurants for a long time. Actually, scratch that. He's been in one kitchen during the entire 27 years he's lived, cooked, and managed here, and that's in La Jolla at George's (and its related establishments). In an age where people hop around faster than you can post about a new job on Instagram, there's something to be said for digging in your heels and perfecting your craft, and, in turn, turning out a generation of decorated chefs whose careers started in your kitchen. That's exactly what Foshee has done. This year brings the 40th anniversary of the George's empire, one of the longest-running and consistently most delicious in town. We asked Foshee to come on the pod to talk about changes to the restaurant scene and its menus over time, what he's learned in the last few years during which he stepped out of the kitchen for the first time and into management, what working with his daughter is like, and to talk about the anniversary celebrations at the restaurant. About those celebrations, they are decidedly stacked with world-class talent, all of which began in Foshee's George's kitchen once-upon-a-time. Beginning in January, visiting chefs who once worked there will cook special supper club–style dinners on specific Wednesdays, with two seatings each night. Connor McVey, who went on to work in the Wolfgang Puck Universe; pastry chef Christine Rivera, who was at California Modern for a long time and helped open Sandpiper and now is the executive chef of The Bishop's School; barkeeps Stephen Kurpinsky and Sam Peters, who helmed the Georges-centric cocktail book Neighborhoods of San Diego; and Christopher Costa of Michelin three-star Meadowood are among the notable guest chefs. Foshee also dishes on his not-so-secret but still effective weapon (and that of chefs around the county): Chino Farm. “Coming to San Diego,” he says of his move to town over two decades ago, “[Chino Farm] was a really big part of it. I won't say it's the reason we came here, but it was a really big fringe benefit. It's one of the reasons why we looked at North County to settle down in, because it's on my way to work. I can just stop off at the farm, and having them in your backyard is just a really special thing.” We also get into some news: Las Ahumaderas, the famous adobada taco spot in Tijuana, opened in Chula Vista; so did Butcher's Plate in National City's Market on 8th; Ambrely Ouimette told us she pulled out of her partnership with Hasekura, the omakase-only spot that will be opening in Barrio Logan above Fish Guts. She says she's got “a full sushi restaurant” and no space, and is looking for takers…same with Hasekura, which now needs a chef; Downtown Chula Vista is hosting their annual Taste of Third event on March 21; and Oceanside's Northern Pine Brewing Co. opened an Idaho-inspired restaurant by the same name with a former Dija Mara chef at its helm.

First up, Johnson speaks with San Diego–based Alana Quintana Albertson about her latest novel, Kiss Me, Mi Amor. Albertson discusses how the Golden State's diverse settings provide endless inspiration for her many romance novels. “I really use setting as a character, and I was contrasting La Jolla and Barrio Logan and different communities,” says Albertson. Albertson also shares a few sneak peaks of her upcoming works and names some of her top San Diego County spots for coffee, tacos, and books.  Next, Johnson is joined by Melissa Broder, author of the mystical desert tale Death Valley. The Los Angeles author and poet recounts how a traumatic personal experience in the California desert inspired her latest novel. “I was just going to Zabriskie Point where nobody—it's a very touristy area—nobody ever gets lost there. I got completely lost and did everything you're not supposed to do,” Broder recalls.  She tops off the conversation by sharing her favorite local boutiques, restaurants, and hiking trails.   Lastly, Johnson talks with South Lake Tahoe–based memoirist and poet Suzanne Roberts. The Almost Somewhere author recounts her experience hiking the John Muir Trail: “Those 28 days taught me that there is more than one view of nature, that nature is a place where we should be connecting and not conquering.” The experienced outdoorswoman also builds an itinerary for both a laid-back and action-packed winter weekend in her hometown.

Claudia @sewloka sits down with Ainara Calahorra, creator of MuXu Creations @muxu.creations Claudia and Ainara met each other in 2021, right around the same time that Ainara left her career as a psychologist to follow her passion for sewing, creating and being a full time sewist/business owner. Ainara is originally from Spain, and she is influenced by the strong women in her family and her entrepreneur grandfather who reinvented himself several times until the end. Ainara owns a San Diego slow fashion clothing company called MuXu Creations.From the MuXu Creations website:At MuXu Creations, we rescue fabrics: gorgeous swatches, deadstock rolls of fabric, scraps, or vintage pieces from ending in landfills and transform them into one-of-a-kind pieces that tell a story. We hand cut and sew from start to finish, to give you garments that last longer because of the attention to detail and care we put in every stitch. We even started printing our original watercolors in some garments as wearable art. Those who wear a MuXu Creations piece are making a strong statement about their mindset: sustainability with style, uniqueness, and quality to come back to enjoy the particularity of each product.Thank you for continuing to support Skills Pay Bills, Sew Loka and Slow Fashion, we appreciate you!!!@sewloka@skillspaybillstv@muxu.creationsSew Loka website: https://sewloka.com/shopSew Loka Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sewloka/?hl=enMuXu Creations website: https://www.muxucreations.com/shopMuXu Creations IG: https://www.instagram.com/muxu.creations/ https://sewloka.com/Thank you for continuing to support Sew Loka and Skills Pay Bills, we appreciate you!

On this week's Happy Half Hour podcast… Pablo Becker named his new restaurant Fish Guts. That's the kind of humor and gall you need to make it in life. It's gonna make me like you. It helps that he's using the 90 percent local seafood, the best damn things pulled off the boats a few blocks from his Barrio Logan fish sandwich-and-taco shop. “It's crazy to me that you have the best seafood in the world right over there,” he says, pointing out of the SDM podcast studio window at the bay. “And 80-something percent of restaurants here import their fish.” I bite his sandwich. Tell him it reminds me of a Filet-O-Fish if a Filet-O-Fish used fresh local rock fish and brioche buns and the best ingredients from local farms. And if the Filet-O-Fish, all due respect, was twenty or thirty times better. It's a fantastic sandwich, beer-battered and slathered in a just-spicy-enough Mexican tartar sauce (seared serranos, Mexican herbs). “My restaurant is like 500-square-feet,” he says. “It's me, a plancha, and a deep fryer.” That tiny space is Pablo's comfort zone. After it all fell apart, this kind of heads-down cooking is where he found his groove again. A San Diego native (his parents moved here from Mexico City), Pablo had been part of the opening team on Isla inside Vegas' then-newly redesigned Treasure Island. It was widely hailed as one of the best Mexican restaurants in the state. He learned restaurant operations and cooking under his famous chef cousins, Patricio and Richard Sandoval. Richard is one of the most revered Mexican chefs in the world, with 60-plus restaurants flung across the globe. In 2007, Pablo opened one of central San Diego's first upscale, CIA-style Mexican restaurants, El Vitral. It was terrible timing, signing his lease at the top of the market when the economy was going nuts, and just months before that same economy took a floundering dive into a deep recession. “After it closed, I was going through some stuff,” he says. “My cousin called me and said, ‘We're opening a restaurant in Chicago, why don't you come out for a while?' I said, ‘Nah man I'm good.' And he said, ‘No, your dad already bought you a plane ticket you're coming next week.'” Pablo went, figured he'd stay a month, brush the dirt off. He'd eat in their restaurant. He started bugging the cooks—nearly all first-generation Mexican-Americans—to let him cut a few things, tinker on the line. He told his cousin he was ready to get back in the game. His cousin pointed to one of the multiple restaurants they were opening, figured Pablo could run one of them. Be the boss. He was an operator, had all the skills. “No, I want to be a line cook,” Pablo told him. And for five years, a very good restaurateur just cooked. “I learned more about my Mexican culture and roots from those guys in the kitchen than I had learned all my life,” he says. “It was the best five years of my life.” Last year, he came home to San Diego. He opened Fish Guts—a simple, honest fish sandwich and taco shop in Barrio Logan from a guy with a hell of a pedigree. His mom occasionally comes down and helps out. Walk in, and you'll probably see Pablo in that tiny space—his plancha, his fryer, his prep nook—just like the space he had as a line cook in Chicago, the space that brought him back.

State funding has been secured for San Diego's homeless outreach programs. In other news, we look at how a community garden in City Heights is healing a patch of land and the people who tend it. Plus, a street in Barrio Logan will be renamed Saturday after the neighborhood's priest Father Brown, who died in 2020.

A migrant aid center in San Ysidro may have to shut down because of a lack of funding. Then, the battle over a biodiesel factory in Barrio Logan that is pitting industry against neighbors. Plus, California State University student workers have been given state approval to vote to unionize.

This week, one of the most controversial plans in local politics was quashed. The San Diego Association of Governments board voted to remove the driving fee from all future plans. The fee was devised as a funding source to supplement gas tax revenue as hybrid and electric cars became more popular. And it was a driving deterrent to help the region meet its emission targets. But now that idea is dead. Not coincidentally, Hasan Ikhrata is leaving SANDAG as executive director soon.

Since the rise of the Chicano Movement in the late 60s, Chicano artists have used a variety of mediums to express historical counter-narratives, encourage political activism, and educate communities. Fifty-three years ago on April 22, 1970, in San Diego, California the residents of Logan Heights, alongside a coalition comprised of hundreds of students, community activists, Brown Berets, and Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlán (MEChA) collectively staged a successful 12-day people's land takeover to thwart the construction of a California Highway Patrol substation on land where the city of San Diego had promised to build a public park for barrio residents. Thanks in part to the protest, the city of San Diego agreed to acquire the site from the state and develop it into a park for the Chicano community. In 2023, Chicano Park is widely regarded as a monument to the self-determination and self-empowerment of Chicano people in the U.S. The concrete pillars that uphold the Coronado Bridge that once sliced and divided the community are now adorned with the iconic murals that have made Chicano Park an anchor for the community's strong Chicano identity and its revolutionary spirit and history. Although while Chicano Park has grown and expanded alongside the neighborhood and received a National Historic Landmark designation from the U.S. Department of the Interior in 2017, the park and its illustrious collection of intricate murals continued to lack an official space dedicated to documentation and preservation of its history until Chicano Park opened the Chicano Park Museum and Cultural Center (CPMCC) last Fall. Unsurprisingly, Chicano artists have continued this legacy of Chicanismo into today's contemporary artistic and political movements—taking the moment to express political autonomy, cultural solidarity, and pride in being of Indigenous descent. Lucas Cruz, Chairman of the Chicano Park Steering Committee joins Step Off!

This cafe is one of the better places in San Diego to eat clean, sure. It's also parents' love for their daughter. This damn good salad—loaded with all kinds of greens and seeds and micronutrients in various natural forms—was all for her. Every parent knows the feeling. When your kid is sick or hurt, you will do the wildest things you never thought you'd do, uproot your life, quit jobs, take four extra jobs, do whatever it takes to help them regain their health. Parakeet Cafe is what Carol Roizen could do. When she and her husband Jonathan Goldwasser found out their then-young daughter Michelle had tumors on her spine, Carol uprooted their lives and dedicated everything she was to creating the healthiest food she could possibly get her daughter to eat. And it turned into a healthy breakfast/lunch concept that started in La Jolla, then Little Italy, and now they're about to open four more locations across Southern California (Carlsbad, Beverly Hills, Brentwood, and Newport). For wellness month at SDM, we invited Carol and and Jonathan into the SDM offices to tell their family's story. The whole month, we're focusing on people in the food and drink scene who are making food and drink that's focused on health.

San Diego is the first in the nation to deploy a new technology to test the safety of our ocean water. And Imperial Beach and Coronado are grappling with the results.  The tests use a new method to count the amount of bacteria found in the gut of warm-blooded mammals, including humans (e.g., feces). The word poop is funny, obviously, but this is deadly serious for local beach cities — which may not only face economic hardship from having their beaches closed, but the test results suggest beachgoers could get seriously sick. This week, we discuss the rollout of these new tests and a lot of confusion that followed. Plus: A viral interview with a local school leader. A new documentary about Barrio Logan's pollution struggles. Get the newsletter for this show at vosd.org/pod See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
