San Diego Comes Up Empty at the 2025 James Beard Awards | Eater San Diego

"Led since 2020 by chef Tara Monsod, who was promoted to head the kitchen less than a year after joining, this restaurant offers a fine-dining take on Asian cuisine with an emphasis on Filipino household staples such as kare kare and dinuguan; the chef was also a James Beard Best Chef: California finalist." - Mona Holmes
