SanDiegoVille reports fairly on the top entertainment happenings and small businesses doing it right, while not shying away from hard topics and questions you won’t read in local publications where editorial direction is ultimately steered by the sales department. Blais just opened Ember & Rye, an inventive steak and seafood restaurant which replaced Argyle at the Park Hyatt Aviara Golf.

We pound the pavement for our exclusive coverage instead of waiting for permission to break news from the fancy public relations firms that regularly spoon-feed mainstream media sources their story ideas, influencing journalists’ opinions with freebies and fanfare. Richard Blais, chef, restaurateur, cookbook author, podcast host, television personality (he was the first winner of Top Chef: All-Stars and is a recurring judge), has a lot on his plate these days. We are a different kind of news site with no desire to conform to antiquated ideas of how many believe journalism should be. SanDiegoVille was created in 2010 to report about all the fun & delicious happenings taking place around America's Finest City and we quickly earned a reputation for being a news source for and by those that shun archaic journalistic practices in pursuit of reporting the real story.
