This week on the Livin’ in San Diego Podcast, we’re talking about a longtime North County food debate, a local brewery getting ready to close its doors, and a new pizza spot coming to the coast.

We also get into the debate over what should happen with a prime piece of coastal land, a weekend adventure to Mammoth, Padres frustration, San Diego FC, and one thing we think North County could definitely use more of.

Plus, for Story of the Week, Chris and Cass officially pick sides in a local rivalry that’s been going on for decades.

A lot happening around San Diego and North County this week.

We’re talking about the latest on the Oceanside Pier, the Padres’ new ownership, the San Diego Seals moving games to Frontwave Arena, and apparently San Diego has some of the best local baseball broadcasters in the country.

For this week’s New, To Do & Adieu, Copper Kings has officially opened its new Oceanside location, the Sessions Surf Festival is coming back September 12–19, and Stone Brewing is preparing to close its longtime Escondido facility.

Plus, we answer which North County spot might be a little overhyped and finish with a tribute to Don Hansen, the local surf pioneer whose influence helped shape surf culture here in San Diego.

Don Hansen’s paddle-out memorial is scheduled for August 30 at Seaside.

Chris and Cassidy are back with another round of San Diego stories, local happenings and a few things we definitely didn’t know before this episode.

We get into one of the most exclusive wellness retreats in the country hiding in San Marcos, a speakeasy-style custom hat shop, San Diego FC getting back in the win column, the surprisingly cool MLB Gold Card, and what’s new around San Diego County.

Plus, Jimbo’s is expanding, Super Girl Surf Fest is back in Oceanside, and one longtime North County tradition won’t be happening this year.

Then we finish with our San Diego Story of the Week: how Candy Land was actually created right here in San Diego, and the story behind the game is much more meaningful than we ever realized.

We sit down with Preston Caffrey, co-founder and CEO of Bebemos Tequila, to hear how a move from Santa Cruz to San Diego eventually led to the creation of a homegrown tequila brand.

Preston shares his journey from more than two decades in the mortgage business to launching We Drink Tequila and partnering with the Gonzalez family in Jalisco to create Bebemos. We get into how the tequila is made, why they chose a joven blend of blanco, reposado and añejo, and the care that goes into everything from harvesting mature agave to small-batch production.

We also talk about Bebemos winning a platinum SIP Award, expanding into local restaurants and retailers, and collaborating with the San Diego community on creations like the Tony Gwynn Jr. Margarita. Plus, Preston shares some of his favorite North County spots, including Valentina, Hamburger Hut, Tanner Prime and The Shanty, along with what Bebemos has planned for the Del Mar Wine & Food Festival.

This week, we’re catching up on what’s been happening around San Diego and beyond, including a trip to the Big Island, a comedy show at the Sports Arena, golfing at Lake San Marcos, the return of San Diego FC, Padres baseball, and opening weekend at the Del Mar racetrack.

For this week’s New, To-Do, and To-Don’t, we’re talking about a new restaurant coming to Bressi Ranch, a free concert at Moonlight Beach, and why visiting Mission Bay may now require a little more bathroom planning.

We also answer a real estate question about how much a great view can add to a San Diego home’s value and share a real-world example of two similar homes selling for very different prices.

Finally, we dive into the story of Kate Sessions, the “Mother of Balboa Park,” and how her work helped shape the trees, plants, and overall look of San Diego that we know today.
