A 2012 San Diego Home & Garden Magazine silver fork winner, Table 926 has fast become a popular dining destination for foodies.

San Diego Magazine – Best Restos 2012 – Troy Johnson’s top 10 for the year

Chef Matt Richman, a former sous at Pacifica Del Mar (and La Jolla High grad), has created a gourmet hangout popular with the area’s top chefs. A trio of duck confit tacos with two housemade sauces (smoked chile salsa and tomatillo-avocado) is a deft marriage of border-city street food and culinary school protein. The beef cheeks have a sweet glaze that’s nicely offset by tart tamarind over creamy polenta. GM Gavin Cordes knows beer and is hosting pairing dinners with the city’s top craft suds. And they’ve just snagged a top-notch pastry chef, Sherman Chan (a vet of Rubochon and Hong Kong’s three-Michelin starred Caprice). A recent taste of her très leches pumpkin pie with parsnip ice cream proved she’s worthy of her advance billing. 926 Turquoise Street, Pacific Beach

Ranch & Coast – “On the Map”

There’s more to PB than pint nights and taco Tuesdays. It’s a mantra that’s been chanted by many eateries touting themselves as a cut-above the community’s have-keg-will-party bar-and-resto scene to little avail. Richman is the newest, and perhaps the most qualified, to chant it. A San Diego native, he’s looking to bring cred to the coast via a menu of smart Mediterranean-influenced offerings at Table 926 (926 Turquoise St).
