The Steakhouse That Replaced Saska's Is Worth the Hunt for Parking

from San Diego Magazine's Happy Half Hour · host San Diego Magazine

Happy Half Hour co-hosts Troy Johnson and Jackie Bryant pull up to Moe's by the Beach for a live episode with two guests who, between them, have thrown some of the most legendary parties Mission Beach has ever seen.  Eric Lightstein—who gave San Diego Cane's, the city's scrappiest and most beloved rock club—now runs this steakhouse out of the old Saska's space, and he's grinding his prime steak trimmings into a Brie burger that stops conversation cold. Bebemos co-founder Preston Caffrey also joins us to celebrate its one-year anniversary with a bar crawl that starts at the Waverly and ends somewhere nobody will fully remember. Finally, in food news: Michelin is coming to town June 24, Mastiff is out at the North Park Beer Company, and somebody in La Mesa put up a full Blockbuster sign on April Fool's Day and broke actual journalism. In our carnivore fantasy draft we discuss oxtail at Trust, smoked duck at Kingfisher, lamb barbacoa in Chula Vista, salt and pepper wings at Royal Mandarin, short rib at Market Del Mar.   Discover more at San Diego Magazine.
