#397 This week on Happy Half Hour we sit down with Kory Stetina, whose first restaurant Kindred shifted San Diego’s idea of plant-based dining. He’s since teamed with CH Projects on Mothership, and now opened Dreamboat and Vulture in University Heights. Dreamboat is a compact, all-day diner; Vulture is the moody dining room behind it, serving martinis fussed over for a year, lion’s mane “Steak Diane,” mushroom pâté with sourdough, and a baked Alaska set aflame at the table. We talk about how punk and skate culture shaped his path, and why he wants these new spaces to feel indulgent and welcoming without the baggage of old vegan stereotypes. To follow Kindred click HERE.
