"Wildland, a new all-day restaurant, bar, and bakery from the same team behind Jeune et Jolie and Campfire in Carlsbad, has already firmed itself as a community anchor. A Tokyo-style standing bar bisects the sprawling, 8,000-square-foot dining room; behind it, a coffee counter buzzes with activity at all hours. Dinner plates range from a half rotisserie chicken with pickled vegetables, salad, toum, and hummus to pizzas, pastas, and a hefty, crispy-edged porchetta served over polenta with a Meyer lemon gremolata. Stop by in the mornings for hot or cold espresso drinks and compelling breakfast plates like the pizza sandwich, a folded pizza stuffed with a runny egg and mortadella." - Candice Woo
