The semifinalists for this year’s James Beard awards were announced today, and San Diego appears once on the list. David Favela, founder of Border X Brewing in Barrio Logan—the first Latino-owned brewery in San Diego—was nominated for Outstanding Wine, Spirits or Beer Producer. We interviewed David on the Happy Half Hour podcast last summer: listen in to learn more about the brewery, which also expanded to a second location in Los Angeles. In the awards’ 30-year history, no San Diego chef, restaurant or brewer has won a James Beard Award.

After being closed for over a year, Costa Azul Coronado is back with a new location at Coronado Ferry Landing. This is big news for the island, as Costa Azul had been on Orange Avenue for nearly 20 years. The new location is in the space where Candela’s was, and has great views of the bay.
