Salt & Cleaver to open by April 1<\/p>\n
The vacant space left behind by Cote Sud<\/strong> on Fifth Avenue in Hillcrest makes way for Salt & Cleaver<\/strong>, an artisan sausage restaurant slated to open by April 1. Co-owner Galen Zanetakos says the idea came about based on the proliferation of so many burger joints popping up everywhere. \u201cWe wanted to do something different. And sausage is such an old, classic food,\u201d he said. Some of the house-made specialties will include lobster sausage topped with shrimp mousse and rib eye steak sausage garnished with horseradish aioli. With more than a dozen other choices, customers can also imbibe from a full cocktail bar stocked with 50 beers on tap and bottled. Among the design features is a 19-foot perforated aluminum chandelier that runs the length of the bar. 3805 Fifth Ave. For updates, visit enjoysausage.com.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Chefs Feed app gives advice from local restaurateurs<\/p>\n A speedy source for dish and restaurant recommendations has arrived to San Diego via a free iPhone app called Chefs Feed<\/strong>, which relies on the trusty advice of well-known chefs, about 600 in all.
