PAM OLVERA OPENED HER FIRST RESTAURANT WITH $5,000 THAT SHE BORROWED. “I vowed to run my business completely differently from anyone else and I do.” Northside Shack is famous for its addictively delicious acai bowls and smoothies. “Once people began to take notice of the quality and taste of our bowls, things took off.” Today, the Northside Shack’s flagship Point Loma location is expanding to meet demand and Pam is opening her third location in Oceanside this summer.

“HER FOCUS HAS BEEN ITALIAN FOOD FOR 23 YEARS,” says Solare owner Randy Smerik of his long-serving chef, Denice Grande, who is helming this Michelin-rated Liberty Station/Point Loma treasure of authentic Italian cuisine. Since Solare’s opening 10 years ago, Grande has cooked under two great chefs, both born and raised in Italy. Originally from Mexico, “She’s bringing the best of all that together with her own spin,” says Smerik. Try the international gravitas for yourself.
