Description

#394 This week, Happy Half Hour details Del Mar's legendary past with longtime restaurateurs John and Sara Wingate of En Fuego Cantina & Grill. Co-hosts Troy Johnson and Jackie Bryant retrace the beach town's transformation from Victorian bathhouses and racehorse legends to its current food scene, anchored by icons like En Fuego, which is now celebrating 30 years in business.

The Wingates reveal how the once-humble house-turned-restaurant became a locals' clubhouse and a celebrity magnet. They also introduce La Tienda, their intimate new cocktail bar tucked upstairs, featuring 200+ tequilas and mezcal barrels they personally selected in Mexico. To follow En Fuego click HERE.
