As of September 30th, Tip Top Meats is closed. What a bummer.

[charlieslin]

Forgot to mention Jeune et Jolie right next door to Campfire - I think it’s definitely deserving of its Michelin star!

Carlsbad is meh. A lot of boring people.

Tip Top meats closed up the end of September, the owner died and the family didn’t want to run it from what I hear.
