“come back...”

Roger's draft snippet is truncated and its sentiment is genuinely ambiguous -- it could mean he intended to come back, or could even be an unfinished note-to-self rather than a comment on the food. The specific San Diego CPK location he visited in 2008 could not be confirmed from the source data, since the chain has operated multiple San Diego locations over the years; this entry uses a currently open, long-running San Diego location as a placeholder pending confirmation. (From an unpublished Yelp draft review, never posted publicly.)

Good for one thing in Roger’s book: a dog-friendly patio. The Black & Bleu burger was bland on a cold bun.

Roger rated this Mission Valley Tender Greens 4 stars, noting it's bigger but also much more crowded than the other Tender Greens locations he's been to.

The Mission Valley outpost of The Kebab Shop, a chain Roger has followed since its East Village original (still his favorite location); lamb doner, shawarma and kebab plates all deliver, though parking and lunch crowds are the tradeoff.
