Greetings all. It's been a while since I've actually posted something on this site. I haven't been exploring much of San Diego's fine restaurants as of late as I have been consumed by tireless efforts in my quest for the perfect BBQ. Ever since last year I've taken up grilling and very recently have been delving into smoking meats. Summer is just around the corner and so it's time to start experimenting again!

The 1st Annual Taste of Cardiff last year was highly successful in that we had over 800 people in attendance, everyone had a great time and is was wonderful to see everyone out and about in the community.  Many people rode their bikes to the event, so we will encourage this again as we like to keep Cardiff a bike-friendly community.  We will also have 3 live music groups stationed throughout the event.
