Blogsgiving at CUSP Restaurant

Happy Thanksgiving Friends! It is a day of gathering, good food and a grateful heart, and one thing is for sure, I’m THANKFUL for all of you and anyone who has supported my blog in any way! Something else I’m thankful for? Fellow San Diego bloggers who have become friends and local restaurants like CUSP who welcomed us with open arms to host our first Blogsgiving!!

This intimate gathering of blogger friends took place a
couple of weeks ago in a private area of CUSP located on the 11th floor inside Hotel La Jolla that aside from stunning ocean views has a tasty Fall menu by the talented Chef Ingrid Funes to share with us. I had the opportunity to co-host with the awesome Jenna from Lucky Little Mustardseed who also wrote a recap you can check out here!

CUSP is known for their coastal cuisine with a beautiful presentation which you will see in the following food pictures- so get ready for your mouth to water like mine did writing this post! We started our culinary journey with appetizers where among my favorites: the Artisanal Cheese Board and the crab cakes.

For the main course, I chose the Roasted Scottish Salmon (pictured above on the right) which has black rice, butternut squash puree, brussels and golden raisin sauce… and queue the mouth watering!

Between dishes and drinks were pictures (because hello? we’re bloggers) good conversations and laughs! It’s always a good time with these ladies, add in good food and drinks and we were set!

Then there was dessert… oh my! And yes, it’s as delicious as it looks!

If we had a reality show this would totally be our promo pic! The Real Bloggers of San Diego! I mean… we obviously don’t take ourselves too seriously!

Offer valid Sunday – Thursday nights only until January 31, 2017!

HUGE thanks to CUSP, my cohost Jenna, my fellow bloggers in attendance, 656 Photography who provided us with all of these great pictures and Madmade Designs for the floral arrangements.
