Foodie Review: Pho Ca Dao & Grill - San Diego, CA

 






Pho Ca Dao & Grill has phenomenal authentic Vietnamese food! This is my go-to favorite. They have 5 locations throughout San Diego, CA and its family owned and operated. If you are on the hunt for fresh, fast service and great flavor they serve Banh Mi, Bao Buns, Fresh Spring Rolls w House made peanut sauce, Vietnamese Coffee, PHO House special combination of sliced rare steak, brisket, flank, tendon, tripe and more.

Pho Ca Dao & Grill is owned by Duke Huynh. According to side note (1) Duke states "I started Phở Ca Dao & Grill 24 years ago with my mother and older brother’s recipes. We wanted to have the opportunity to share a piece of our culinary culture in a way that everyone could enjoy through outstanding customer service and quality Vietnamese comfort food at the centerpiece. I started with a location in City Heights in 2001 with the name Phở Ca Dao; “Ca Dao” means folk songs, a cultural tradition that’s been passed down from one generation to the next; similar to phở, a traditional Vietnamese fare that has stood the test of time."


I wrap the fresh lettuce around the homemade Egg roll and dip it in the house made sweet and sour sauce. It's to die for! They have been awarded by Urban Spoon, San Diego Magazine, Pennysaver, A-List etc. The family is truly resilient, experiencing the challenges faced with Covid and ups and downs of 24 years in the food industry. At Mira mesa location they are equipped with Daash Robotics servers for a futuristic Jetsons vibe to your dining experience.

Business Block: Crypto Reserve, ISO 20022

  A Federal Crypto reserve is in development within US. As we see the digital infrastructure develop and mature the Federal government finds it a bullish strategy in its portfolio. Questions are surfacing as if some of these digital currency projects are in the best interest of Americans Tax dollars. Decentralized and Centralized projects are key differentiators within the portfolio. We have seen Bitcoin increase by 58.7% from 52k to 109k as a decentralized digital asset. Other projects such as XRP, Ethereum, Solana, Cardano digital instruments may or may not have decentralized characteristics but will be pinned to the decentralized flows of bitcoin.  As we see industries such as AI, Real estate, Insurance, Supply chain, CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency) evolve into the digital business infrastructure many of these smart contract instruments and tools will be utilized. Larry Fink, CEO of Blackrock discussed tokenization of assets such as Bonds & Stocks at World economic...

Tech Talks: AI, Reciprocal Tariffs, Stock market tanking, Bureaucracy dismantled

It gets worse before it gets better, they say. An economy full of uncertainties makes it extremely hard to project the future—not to mention surprises that may be lying under a rock during audits. We saw Q1 start with an AI stock market boom as Tempus AI, BigBear AI, and others try to align with Nvidia chips. Nvidia earnings continue trending up as their future looks bright. The DeepSeek launch presented questions about whether Nvidia is overvalued, based on the cost of recent projects coming in extremely low for DeepSeek. Unfortunately, we saw the largest drop in the 2025 stock market during the last week of February. This comes as tariff negotiations have corporate America on the edge of their seats. This isn’t Trump’s first rodeo implementing trade tariffs. The upside is that it exposes complacency in companies’ supply chains on a micro level and non-reciprocal global trade deals on a global scale. America in 2025 is not the America of the 2000s or 1990s. Therefore, U.S. global trad...

Foodie Review: Seneca Italiano - San Diego

Delizios is what you will be saying once you experience  Seneca Italian joint in Downtown San Diego. They are within the top 3 best authentic Italian restaurants in the city. Reserve your lunch or dinner in advance because everyone is trying to get a taste of their spicy meatball! You won't be disappointed with the ambiance nor the view as the seating overlooks the San Diego, Coronado Bay on the rooftop, but dress warm. The bathrooms are pretty boogie too as they are lined in gold. The kitchen has an open concept, so you can sit at your table sipping your Sicilian wine and watch the chefs whipping up some authentic pasta or wood fire pizza. Who is Seneca one might ask? " Lucius Annaeus Seneca the Younger, usually known mononymously as Seneca, was a Stoic philosopher of Ancient Rome, a statesman, dramatist, and in one work, satirist, from the post-Augustan age of Latin literature." according to Wikipedia. (1) The ambiance is warm and my favorite starter is the Heirloom to...
