The Museum of Contemporary Art in San Diego has a number of masterpieces: a polka dot pumpkin from Yayoi Kusama, an Andy Warhol lithograph, and the view of La Jolla Cove from their restaurant, The Kitchen. Their summer corn torchio pasta is a refreshing pick that gets a slight spice from salsa verde. But brunch on the weekend is the move, when they open at 9am and serve a spicy sausage and egg sandwich with oven-dried tomatoes and garlic aioli. Their outdoor area with oceanfront views is the best spot for a meal, but beware of the opportunistic seagulls—they’ll snatch any unattended fries.
