Eat This Now: Four Dishes You Can Only Find on Adams Avenue
Adams Avenue has long been touted as one of the best food streets in the city, and these four unique dishes that showcase local ingredients seem to be proof positive that the stretch is still thriving.
The Mountain Meadows Mushroom Pizza
If eating one of the ultimate original pizzas in this city is your thing, look no further than Blind Lady Ale House. They made this list for always having a local, farm-fresh pizza special on the menu, plus that Mountain Meadows mushroom pizza, and an enticing regional beer selection that includes house brews from Automatic Brewing Co. We also like them for being Agents of Change by donating 20% of meatless Monday pizza sales to local nonprofit organizations.

Les Moules Frites au Harissa
Go for the sauce at Bleu Boheme with a steaming pot of les moules frites au harissa. The classic menu item was created by executive chef and owner, Ken Irvine. “Harissa paste is a combination of chiles balanced for flavor, not heat, and adds depth and complexity to seafood,” says Diego Paul Lopez, Bleu Bohème’s chef de cuisine. He sautés Spanish chorizo in garlic, shallots, and a white wine-harissa demi glace with black Mediterranean mussels from the Pacific Ocean and serves them with hot and crispy Bleu pomme frites.

Kumquat-Tajin Gelato
If you haven’t seen what a good fluff and fold can do to gelato, we suggest a freshly made waffle cone full of Yarn at An’s Dry Cleaning. What used to be a dry cleaning shop on Adams Ave is now the storefront for a small-batch gelateria that features off-the-cuff fresh and original flavors with seasonal ingredients and a perfect balance of sweetness. We’ve got the scoop on this winter special showcasing the bright citrus flavor of kumquats with honey and Tajin.

The Jimmy Pesto
Giddyup and make your day that much brighter by putting the Jimmy Pesto in your mouth. Hawthorn Coffee starts this beautiful toast off with a slice of rustic sourdough from Bread and Cie (a gluten-free toast option from Coronado’s Gluten Free Pantry is available) and tops it with a generous layer of locally made spicy pesto from Baby Clydesdale and crumbles of almond ricotta and blistered tomatoes.
