Scott McEwen, author of the new book, Hell Week and Beyond: The Making of a Navy SEAL. Follow America's elite warriors through the military's most grueling training and learn how they survive real special operations. Of the 18 months required to become a Navy SEAL, one week will cause over half of the trainees to quit ("ring the bell"). Only the toughest make it through. In Hell Week and Beyond, Scott McEwen takes the readers to the sands of Coronado Beach in San Diego, where Navy SEALs are put through the most grueling training known to mankind. Grit, commitment, heart, and soul are needed to become a SEAL, because these are the elite forces who go into the toughest battles for America. Many of the most well-known SEAL warriors have been interviewed for this book, providing the stories of what got them through and the humor of those that made it. (Those that make it almost always have one thing in common: humor. Find out why!) Part Top Gun, part Bull Durham, this book delivers that goods for those in the know, as well as general readers who admire the elite forces for all they do. PLUG BOOK: Hell Week and Beyond: The Making of a Navy SEAL. BIO: Scott McEwen is the author of many books and the co-author of #1 New York Times bestseller American Sniper, which has sold more than one million copies and has been translated into over twenty languages. American Sniper, the movie, starring Bradley Cooper, and directed by Clint Eastwood, was the number one movie in the United States for that year, and was nominated for six Academy Awards, winning one. McEwen lives in San Diego, California, where he began writing while practicing law.

Welcome back to Happy Half Hour! This is our first live recording of the podcast since this spring. We taped this episode, at our sponsor, the Hotel Del Coronado’s brand new Sun Deck, a bar and restaurant that overlooks Coronado Beach. It was the first time in seven months we’ve been outside and together for a podcast (socially distanced, of course!), and the fresh air and ocean view made for a welcome return. Today’s special guest is Stefan Peroutka, the executive chef right here at Hotel del Coronado. Stefan is from Austria, and he was classically trained at the Salzburg Hospitality and Culinary School. He earned his chops as executive sous chef of the Michelin-starred Aureole restaurant at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, where he was invited to join the prestigious Les Amis d’Escoffier Society of Las Vegas. After serving as executive banquet chef of The Venetian and The Palazzo Resort, he landed at Hotel Del, where he now oversees the resort’s wide range of culinary offerings. Stefan walked us through some dishes that are on the Sun Deck’s menu (which Troy and David made sure to sample right away). This included the California mezze plate, which features whipped goat cheese and edamame lemon hummus, and charred octopus served with fennel and olive oil puree, David’s pick as the best. Stefan says the menu features light California fare with lots of vegetables and seafood. Stefan spent a lot of his career in Portugal. He shares that the culinary scene around Europe is completely different from Vegas, something he had to navigate when he moved and started working as a sous chef at Stratosphere Casino and Resort. Stefan talks about the pressure of being a chef, and how different cooking as a chef is versus cooking at home or even at culinary school. He says it’s a stressful profession, and while you can be an amazing cook, running a restaurant or an even bigger operation like in a hotel is not something that can be learned in school. While he said working in Las Vegas was an awesome run, California was always on his radar as he looked for his next step. In Hot Plates, the beloved Rubio’s, which was founded in San Diego, just filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. They closed restaurants in Colorado and Florida, though none yet here in California. They are operating as normal, so you can still get the famous fish tacos. Martinis Above Fourth in Hillcrest announced they filed for Chapter 7. The restaurant and bar was known for its live shows and extensive martini menu, but the owners’ post on Facebook sadly said that it wouldn’t make sense to reopen. We tried to end this segment on a high note: El Cruce+241, a restaurant in Chula Vista devoted to Baja cuisine and ingredients, is finally open on Third Avenue. It specializes in seafood, wine, and beer from Baja with dishes like grilled octopus, oysters, fish tacos, and craft beer from breweries such as Tijuana’s Insurgente. In Two People for Takeout/Two People for $50, Stefan recommends the seafood at TJ Oyster Bar. Marie went with ice cream from Salt and Straw: They have a special Halloween edition that mixes matcha ice cream with chocolate-covered crickets. Troy continues his ramen quest at Hironori Ramen in Hillcrest, giving rave reviews of the shoyu ramen and creamy tonkotsu ramen. David ventured out of North Park all the way to Miramar to Ballast Point Tasting Room, putting aside his dislike of pumpkin spice for the Pumpkin Down Scotch Ale. Thank you for listening! As always, we want to hear from our listeners. Do you have a question for Troy? Need a recommendation for takeout? Is there a guest you want us to book on the show? Let us know! You can call us at 619-744-0535 and leave a voicemail, or if you’re too shy, you can email us at happyhalfhour@sdmag.com. And if there’s another patio you think we should record on, let us know!

Meet Chris Sams, one of the few people to run ALL the way across America. Starting in Baltimore, MD, he ran all the way to Coronado Beach in San Diego, CA in just under five months. And he stopped along the way to teach families and individuals about the importance of movement, nutrition, and living a healthy life. And in Episode 219, Mark sits down with Chris to talk about the deep lessons he took away from running and helping these families along the way, the importance of incorporating breathwork into your routines, how to approach your big goals, and why he's focus today revolves around optimizing "LYFE" (Living Your Fullest Expression).

Welcome to Experience This 360 Episode San Diego in One DayOn this episode we will go over a recommended itinerary for visiting San Diego for only one day. If you find yourself in San Diego for just one day, you'll need to make the most out of your time, because there is a lot to see and do as we have covered in previous episodes on San Diego.First of all, it really does not matter where you are staying as a lot of the top attractions are minutes apart. San Diego traffic can get congested during rush hours or during special events but you should not have too much time stuck in traffic. That being said, driver's here seem to pretty aggressive so take care and be on the defensive. If you have arrived in the morning, I would suggest heading to the world famous San Diego zoo. The zoos early mornings are less crowded allowing you to park with ease, enter without lineups and enjoy the zoo without bumping shoulder to shoulder looking at exhibits. In addition, all the animals will be more lively in the morning hours giving more of an experience.When you exit the zoo, go into Balboa Park to enjoy the multitude of gardens, museums and attractions here. Next, drive over to Coronado Beach and enjoy the Pacific surf. There are a bunch of great restaurants here, perfect for any food lover's lunch. After soaking up the sun and enjoying a swim in the waves, head over to Old Town where you can shop, and experience San Diego culture from year's past. Before leaving this area, have supper at one of the authentic Mexican Cantinas.And that wraps up a pretty busy, yet satisfying day. No doubt, you will want to check back in to San Diego as you will want to check out all the other amazing attractions. In just checking randomly at the experiencethis360 cheap flight finder – there are flights generated from US cities to San Diego from as low as $64 and hotels can be found there as well for a huge discount. Also, for coupons on attractions please visit the Experience This 360 Facebook page. We will post all the coupons we can find for all the recommended attractions.Now, go find Happiness!

With its moderate climate and wealth of activities, San Diego is the perfect family vacation destination. We are chatting with Mary Solio from The World is a Book, who lives in Southern California, about LegoLand, the San Diego Zoo, Balboa Park, and Coronado Bay. Best of all, she shares tips on finding the best tacos and how to get your kids in free to popular attractions. ON THE PODCAST :45 Welcome and weekly catch up 3:23 Kim and Tamara talk about past trips to San Diego 5:30 Welcome Mary Solio from The World is a Book 9:00 Ideal itinerary for visiting San Diego 9:55 Balboa Park 10:25 Sea World, San Diego Zoo or the Safari Park 11:00 Day 2: Beach hopping 13:02 LegoLand 15:32 Cabrillo National Monument 16:26 Where to Stay 18:20 Tips for visiting the Zoo 19:20 Kids Free Month 21:08 Disneyland 22:25 Must try foods 24:18 Where to take a family photo 25:00 Favorite travel gear 26:55 Tip of the week -- finding good deals About Mary Solio from The World is a Book Mary lives in San Diego, California with her husband and two kids, who are 13 and 10. She was born in the Philippines, grew up in the U.S. territory of Guam, and believes all those years of island fever ignited her serious case of wanderlust. She currently works full time as a database developer and computer programmer. She writes about the familys travels along with tips and guides on her blog, The World Is a Book. She is also a family travel writer for Hilton Hotels and Resorts' Hilton Mom Voyage site. The family loves cruises, castles, National Parks, and museums, from art to quirky. You can follow her family's travels on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest. Five Days in San Diego If you are in Southern California, it is easy to visit San Diego for a weekend or a day trip. But if you are coming from further away, Mary recommends at least a five to seven day stay. Start with a two-hour bay cruise to see seals and the city skyline and then vary your itinerary between theme parks and other attractions. After the bay cruise, head over to Balboa Park to visit some of their 15 museums, gardens and Spanish architecture. On the second day, pick either Sea World, the San Diego Zoo or the Safari Park. The Safari Park has a lot of open area and is different than a typical zoo. For day three, go beach hopping or kayaking. One of Mary's favorite beaches is the Coronado Beach near the hotel. She also likes LaJolla Shores to see the sea lions and to kayak near LaJolla Cove. The next day, visit Legoland. If you are there from March through May there is a flower field on the hillside that is beautiful. If your family really loves Legos, a stay at Legoland Hotel seems like a special treat. They have four different types of theme rooms, including a new Lego Friends room. For the last day, visit the tide pools at Cabrillo National Monument. Just check online first to find out when the tide is low. There are also other historical attractions at the Cabrillo National Monument. Tips for Visiting San Diego Family friendly hotels are in the Mission Valley area. The Manchester Grand Hyatt near Seaport Village downtown is also a good pick for families. There are other new hotels opening in Liberty Station and a new public market is coming to that area also. When visiting the zoo, start with a half-hour guided bus tour and then take the tram all the way to the back and work your way to the front. Visit during October when kids get into many attractions for free. Must Try Foods You simply must have authentic Mexican food, especially carne asada and fish tacos, or the carne asada burrito with carne asada, cheese and fries rolled into a burrito. There are many taco stands throughout San Diego but Mary recommends anywhere with a "bertos" in it -- like Umbertos -- or Tacos al Gordo with a spiced pork taco. She also loves the desserts at Extraordinary Desserts downtown. Best Place to Take a Family Photo There are many scenic spots in San Diego but Mary's recommendation for a family photo is on the beach at Coronado Bay, with the iconic hotel behind you. Favorite Travel Gear Mary loves traveling in convertible pants from Columbia and Converse without laces to get through security quickly. Tip of the Week CityPass and GoCard are both available for San Diego, providing substantial discounts if you want to visit many attractions. Another tip when visiting a different city is to check their local Groupon and Living Social listings for deals on restaurants and attractions.
