“Bomb waffles
Great selection of craft brews (especially sours)”
Roger called the waffles bomb and praised the craft beer selection, especially the sours. (From an unpublished Yelp draft review, never posted publicly.)
Roger's Hillcrest cigar-bar pick, run by an owner (Raul) he calls the friendliest in town, open later than most local lounges with a strong Belgian beer selection on tap and bottle.
From the order notes

A Hillcrest Chinese restaurant Roger says declined after the pandemic, dropping from a two-star review to one star, after an earlier visit he'd already called just okay and Americanized.
A Hillcrest location of the Nishiki Ramen chain -- a separate address from the site's existing Kearny Mesa entry -- rated a middling three stars by Roger.
