SANTEE SCOOP

Food and beverages are a huge part of our life… I mean, we eat and drink something everyday, right? So with the most obvious part of this conversation out of the way, let’s talk more about what food and beverages are right here in Santee. Don’t say it, I already know: We have a lot of chicken options. Maybe you expected to see some nuggets on the cover instead of the awesome pizza there instead, but we are lucky enough to have a plethora of both so I chose the less obvious pick. Although, pizza is no underdog in terms of popularity.

With San Diego Restaurant Week happening this year from March 26th through April 2nd, I thought, why not celebrate our unique town and the amazing choices we have all around us? After all, SDRW is a celebration that showcases the diverse and upcoming culinary world in San Diego County, so let’s join the party. Selfishly, I chose a cuisine to focus on (Pages 8-11) that is an easy go-to for me and my family: pizza. After a recent visit to Santee Lakes to check out their new onsite dining option, Petes Angry Pizza. This got me to then order dinner a few days later from Giant Pizza King and to swing over to Pepper Farm Deli for lunch the next week.

Santee has much more to offer than just pizza and chicken, though. Be sure to find our guide to Santee food and beverage on Pages 3033. A special thanks goes out to those who have joined our chamber and continue to support our mission and goals. With so many great choices in town, we encourage you to all explore some local eats, treats and drinks and challenge yourself to some of the steps noted on Page 25 as we celebrate the food and beverage industry right here in our hometown.
