Ironside Fish and Oyster put on the their first oyster shucking competition on National Oyster Day. JCUV was honored to have Chef George Morris choose us as his beneficiary. There was stiff competition among some of San Diego’s favorite chefs. Hanis Cavin, Amy Dibiase, Matt Gordon and Chad White. And a good time was had by all. We even had a cheer for George.
Just Call Us Volunteers was again honored to be able to serve the last meal at Stand Down. This is our 3rd year serving homeless veterans at Stand Down. Our fish taco lunch is the most anticipated meal by our guests and the event staff. We served fish tacos grilled on site this year by Tommy Gomes and Mitch Conniff, with sides of spanish rice, chorizo and cheesy refried beans and a delicious Mexican Caesar salad finishing the meal with a variety of Cupcakes. We are able to serve such a fresh healthy lunch because of our partners Catalina Offshore, Specialty Produce and Cupcakes Squared and thanks to our behind the scenes Chef friends Daniel Barron, Marguerite Grifka and Chuck Samuelson.
