Jaynes tagged the "The Perfect Pub" by San Diego Magazine
Take a look at the cover of the March issue of San Diego Magazine where we were referred to as the perfect pub. This is very much appreciated and we're going to continue working hard to keep it that way!
Come by Jaynes this weekend for our Wiener Schnitzel and Gruyere Spaetzle. Wiener Schnitzel is a traditional dish from Germany and Austria of pan fried breaded and pounded veal or pork. We use pork loin in cast iron served with side of Gruyere Spaetzle, Wilted Greens and Lemon. Spaetzle is a German pasta that we make in house. The pasta batter is forced through a tray with small holes into boiling water. This creates their rustic, tubular shape. This is very popular and of course an excellent beer and white wine pairing opportunity.
We will also be serving our highly favored Mussels in Spanish Chorizo Broth with La Brea Bakery Baguette.
Our by the glass red program is humming right now.
Bertani Valpolicella, Mas De Gourgonnier Provence Rouge, Chanson Bourgogne, Cantine Valpane Barbera and now the 2005 Marques De Murrieta Reserva Rioja. We love our Rioja here at Jaynes and this traditional producer makes some of the absolute best. We also pour their 2001 Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva by the bottle which is a bottle destined for decades of good drinking. Pairing suggestions: Gambas Al Aljillo and Pan Con Tomate with Spanish Jamon Serrano.
Hand soap? We have received a flood of requests regarding our hand soap in our restroom. It is made by a company in Los Angeles called Further. Further is a small family owned and operated business that teams up with our longtime cooking oil recycler, San Diego's New Leaf Biofuel. Long technical explanations aside, the glycerin distilled from the oils used in our kitchen is combined with essential oils of Bergamot, Olive, and exotic grasses to create a beautifully scented hand soap. We are proud to be the only restaurant using their soap here in San Diego and you can now buy a 6oz bottle from us for $12.50. Please inquire with your server.
Jayne was featured a year or so back in an article "Owners that Work Work the Room." You've probably seen myself or Jayne carrying ice, bussing tables and even cleaning up floods on occasion. This business is a demanding one that we absolutely love that takes aaalooot of time. Well...we have decided to stop our Sunday brunch. It has been a lot of fun and we appreciate all of our devoted regulars, but Jayne and I have a special project we're working on right now that requires a bit of extra free time(understatement) and and we would prefer to put all of our attention on our dinner service. We will be bringing back brunch for special occasions and now can now offer Sundays for weddings and other private events. Again thank you to all that supported us and we promise you will have your Full English before too long!
Thank you all for your continued love and support. xo jon and jayne

A Return to Yang Energy
Spring is the beginning of the year for many cultures and a time of new growth. In Chinese medicine, spring is a time of the return to yang energy. As we look around us, the plants are growing green once again. In climates with cold winters this is very apparent. The water that forms from the melting snow nourishes the plants and trees and is transformed into abundant green growth and flowers. The characteristic green color of spring growth in nature is why the Chinese associate spring with green.
For those of us practicing feng shui, it is important to keep our wood element area clean of clutter and harmoniously filled with plants, wood objects, and green color. Feng shui is, quite simply, the art of placement. Organizing your home and work space can improve the quality of your life. The East and South East areas belong to the wood element which governs spring time. Another benefit to organizing these areas is an increase in wealth, which I am sure most of us could benefit from in these challenging times.
According to the Inner Classics, one of the time-tested classics of Chinese medicine, this is the time of year to “rise early with the sun” and take “brisk walks”. This brings us to our next point. Exercise! Exercise! Exercise! As the yang energy of the season returns to the world around us, it also rises inside of us. When we exercise, we circulate the energy in our whole body. This allows the yang energy of the season to nourish us deep in our organs and out to the surface of our skin. The Inner Classics go on to say this about spring:
The supernatural forces of spring create wind in heaven and wood upon the earth. Within the body they create the liver and the tendons; they create the green color … and give the voice the ability to make a shouting sound … they create the eyes, the sour flavor, and the emotion of anger.
As mentioned above, this is the season to address the liver. When it comes to diet, this season is all about cleansing. Eating too many fatty and heavy foods bogs down the liver and decreases its function. The diet should be light with an emphasis on sweet and pungent flavored foods. A great example of this is mint tea with honey. Brewing mint tea for longer than ten minutes helps activate the qi or energy of the liver. Complex carbohydrates such as legumes, grains and seeds have a sweet flavor which increases with sprouting. Food preparation in spring is simpler and raw foods can be eaten more abundantly. Young carrots, beets and other sweet starchy vegetables are also sweet in nature. Add some pungent spices such as basil, fennel, marjoram, rosemary, caraway, dill and bay leaf and you have a healthy spring meal. May you have a healthy and prosperous spring!
