Off Orange Food Finds

If you missed the Coronado Flower Show Spring Fling: Flip Flops & Florals Party, well, I’m not gonna lie, you missed a really amazing party.  A live band played party favorites in the Spreckels Pavilion while 300 people danced among stilt walkers, posed in the funny photo booth, and sampled a variety of yummy snacks from local talent under strings of  festive lights.  It was a great opportunity to discover some impressive Island culinary options that you can’t find on Orange Ave.  Here are my five favorite “Off-Orange” food finds!

  • Personal Chef:  Chef Drew.  Did you know we have a gourmet caterer and personal chef right here on the Island?  Chef Drew McPartlin is a talented Coronado local who serves up global cuisine in your home that is both beautifully presented and incredibly delicious.
