Taste of Adams Avenue returns for 15th anniversary<\/strong><\/p>\n

San Diegans love to eat out, and that\u2019s one reason foodie events are popular attractions in our local communities. Next up is the Taste of Adams Avenue, which will be celebrating its 15th anniversary on the last Sunday in June.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Taste of Adams Avenue is definitely growing,\u201d said Kat Carney, associate director of the Adams Avenue Business Association (AABA), the event\u2019s sponsor. \u201cWe have six new places on our list. Two of those aren\u2019t open yet, so it\u2019s a sneak peek of those businesses.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chi Extraordinary Kitchen and Vida\u2019s Juice House will be opening soon along Adams Avenue, and Carney said they are eager to introduce themselves to foodies ahead of time.<\/p>\n

The other four newcomers to the foodie trail are Backyard Caf\u00e9, Burnside, Moosie\u2019s Ice Cream and the Rabbit Hole.<\/p>\n

Lather on sunscreen and put on a pair of comfortable shoes because the Taste of Adams Avenue sprawls for 2 miles along Adams Avenue from Circa restaurant between Alabama and Mississippi streets in University Heights to the Kensington Caf\u00e9 at Marlborough Drive in Kensington. Those who go full circle will walk 4 miles and burn off some serious calories. A complimentary trolley will also be circulating the route, and organizers are also encouraging people to use their bicycles for transportation.<\/p>\n

Last year, the Taste of Adams Avenue drew about 1,100 visitors, Carney said, noting that this is \u201ca small event compared to Adams Avenue Street Fair and Adams Avenue Unplugged.”<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no alcohol involved,\u201d Carney said. \u201cThis sets us apart from other similar events. We\u2019re a family-friendly event, and kids are welcome to come along.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other participants this year, subject to change, are: Blind Lady Ale House, Caf\u00e9 21, Caf\u00e9 Cabaret, Chris\u2019 Ono Grinds Island Grill, Clem\u2019s Tap House (21 and older), Daofu, DiMille\u2019s Italian Restaurant, El Zarape Mexican Restaurant & Tequileria, Hanna\u2019s Gourmet, The Haven Pizzeria, Incredible Cheesecake Company, Jyoti Bihanga, Lestat\u2019s Coffee House, Liquid Eden, Ponce\u2019s Mexican Restaurant, Sabuku Sushi, Senor Mangos Juice House, Soda & Swine, Subway Sandwiches, Tam\u2019s Thailand Food, Twiggs on Adams, Village Vino and Viva Pops.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe whole idea is that the restaurants give away a sample of their signature dish,\u201d Carney said. \u201cBlind Lady, for example, usually gives away a slice of pizza. I\u2019m sure Moosie\u2019s will provide a sampling of their ice cream.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some restaurants have been along for the ride for all 15 years, and Carney cited DiMille\u2019s Italian Restaurant and Ponce\u2019s Mexican Restaurant as two of the original participants. Both restaurants are longtime fixtures in the Adams Avenue corridor.<\/p>\n

Mike DiAnna, owner\/operator of DiMille\u2019s, said he enjoys the opportunity provided by the Taste of Adams Avenue.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have always been active in with all aspects of the community, special events, fundraisers, schools, etc. I believe over the last 37 years DiMille\u2019s has participated in every event presented by the AABA to show support,\u201d DiAnna said.<\/p>\n

\"ScreenDiMille\u2019s participation in the event isn\u2019t necessarily motivated by the desire to attract new customers, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am not really sure how you would measure the return of new business from our participation,\u201d DiAnna said. \u201cI just feel if we stick to our initial intentions of supporting the community and our incredible business district, serve some awesome Italian food, then everything else will work itself out.\u201d<\/p>\n
