Valle de Guadalupe Chef Diego Hernandez Is Cooking for One Night Only in Little Italy | Eater San Diego

"Opened last summer in Little Italy, this Baja-style seafood spot brought a taste of Baja to San Diego and is celebrating its first anniversary on Thursday, September 28 with a special guest chef. Diego Hernandez of Valle de Guadalupe’s Corazón de Tierra will be in town cooking dishes created just for the occasion that present the essence of Baja, including uni toast with cucumber, mint, and Fresno chile, and spider crab with crushed potatoes, soubise, and sorrel. The anniversary event starts at 2 p.m. and will feature Hernandez’s a la carte menu alongside dishes from Crudo chef Carlos Diaz, a San Diego native raised in Tijuana who began his cooking career at Pez in Miami under Javier Plascencia and now collaborates with the restaurant’s founding chef Miguel Angel Gomez. Co-owner Eduardo Bustamante said the group hopes to open a second San Diego location sometime next year." - Candice Woo
