San Diego LGBT Pride has teamed up with Wine Steals to present an area at this summer’s two-day Pride festival tailored expressly for vino tasting. The space, called the Wine Steals Grotto, will be hosted by the popular wine bar, which has already solicited more than 50 wineries from the West Coast, France and Italy to pour their latest and greatest releases. The “grotto” will also feature an outdoor wine bar from which full pours and homemade sangria can be purchased. A third Wine Steals is due to open in late June in Cardiff. The Pride festival is scheduled for July 19 and 20. For more information, visit www.sandiegopride.org.

After years of speculation and rumors regarding the mulchy filling in tacos by Jack in the Box, a corporate representative I spoke with confirmed that the mystery “meat” isn’t beans-n-meat or tofu or pork lips or 100 percent meat for that matter. Since the tacos were introduced in the 1950s, the filling has remained the same: a 50-50 mix of beef and soy. But are the tacos really an elixir for hangovers? Some fast-food junkies insist yes.

Renowned Chef Roy Yamaguchi opens his second restaurant in San Diego next month, called Roy’s, in the San Diego Marriott Hotel and Marina Downtown. Since launching his first kitchen in Honolulu some 20 years ago, the chef has wowed a world audience with 30 other restaurants of the same name throughout the U.S. and in Guam and Japan. His cuisine fuses European sauces to bold Asian spices, with a focus on seafood. The restaurant will feature harbor views from the patio, with a significantly larger interior compared to other Roy’s restaurants, including the La Jolla location. 333 Harbor Drive, 619-239-7697.

The owners of Bella Luna and Aqua Blu in the Gaslamp are bringing a touch of Napa Valley to the former Mission Hills Café on West Washington Street with a new restaurant called Olivetto, due to open in late June. The venture will feature a wine bar and a menu of “new American cuisine” such as fresh fish, homemade pastas and light tapas. Butcher block tables and a color scheme of light green and tangerine will set the stage for a modern Napa feel. 860 W. Washington St., www.olivettosd.com.

The Linkery in North Park moves to a new and bigger location next week, on May 22, just several blocks from its original 30th Street address.
