Dives in San Diego

[Kouign Aman]

Desi's in Point Loma.

Used to be a submariner bar.

Desi bought it and she's been spiffing it up a bit at a time.

The silhouette of a rat is gone from the baseboard, the posters are 'arty', but the walls retain their hand-made, different building codes look, and the floor is as uneven as ever. The 'outdoor' smoking area is outdoor only by the kindest stretch of the imagination.

Things 'frozen' dont get made at Desi's. They will make things coffee, if you know the recipe.

And they make something called a Rooster Burger.

I suspect the patty is preformed and at the lowest end of the suppliers price range. It doesnt matter.

They dowse the nearly finished burger w sriracha, a huge cloud of smoke goes up the vent, and then its dinner time.

The whole is much greater than the sum of the parts.
