This place used to be in Evanston, then the owner moved it to downtown La Jolla - feels like a real near-Chicago bar!

Thanks to the owners of Buster's for finding my web site and informing me of their establishment. It will be the perfect place to stop in for Chicago-Style snacks on my way to and from San Diego (I live in L.A. now). If you're already in San Diego, you should definitely give them a visit.
