LOVE drive The Food Dude and a fabulous fashionista hit the road for a night OUT in Little Italy Blue photos by greg ramirez test Rocket car: Rent a Rocket Car or buy a scooter from San Diego Scooter and Cycle Supply. Two Pacific Beach locations: 1400 Garnet Ave., 1880 Grand Ave. 858.829.2316 scooterandcycle.com Searching for a perfect date is like hunting for the perfect car. It’s important to find the right body style and make sure the vehicle is equipped with the best options for a smooth ride. And you’d better check out the repair history, especially on older models, or you may end up failing a smog test. Luckily for tonight’s blind daters, no one will be pressured to sign a 24-to-36-month lease this evening. Instead, Kevin and Suzannah just need to kick the tires, enjoy an action-packed test drive… and maybe take a quick peek under the hood. Before the ride begins, let’s meet the drivers and check the Book values for their vehicles. Driver: Suzannah Stolba Address: Condo in University City DOB: 5/3/1981 Eyes: Blue Hair: Blonde Height: 5’5” Weight: 113 Organ Donor: Yes Driver: Kevin “Food Dude” Roberts Address: Plush downtown condo DOB: No comment Eyes: Brown Hair: Brown Height: 5’10” Weight: 165 Organ Donor: Yes SPECS: Manufactured in D.C. and on the market for six months, this 1981 model is the founder of Fresh Karat, a bi-coastal fashion accessory brand. Perfect exterior, well maintained interior, low mileage, high-performance hybrid engine. This limited Southern California-chic edition comes factory-equipped with a competitive, entrepreneurial spirit. Frequently valets at Ivy, Stingaree, Jack’s La Jolla. Supreme handling in traffic, but enjoys having the road to herself. Loves to laugh, cook, travel, workout, hike with the dog. Serial monogamist with proven ability to stay on course. Horrendous driving skills have resulted in multiple moving violations, fender benders. CO-PILOT: Engine purrs for ambitious, fun-loving guys comfortable in their own skin; sputters for pretentiousness, those trying to be something they are not. Passengers must have enough miles to be ready to settle down, start a family, find house with two-car garage. Price: available upon request. SPECS: Single hardworking, Los Angeles-native, living his dream as TV chef, cookbook author, radio personality and owner of East Village Tavern & Bowl. Automatic transmission, on the market for five months, 100,000 miles but runs like new. Fast and furious driver, often parks at Oceanaire, Neighborhood, Firehouse. Exterior is in mint condition; interior is warm, fuzzy and spacious. Tenacious outlook on life, proficient at cooking and eating, values family above all else. Radio presets locked to 933, because he’s live on-air each week. Runs on high-octane fun and romance, lifetime supply included. CO-PILOT: Passengers must be educated and independent with sense of humor and East Coast mentality—blunt, to the point, no bulls#!tting around. Engine roars when women eat his food, stalls when they don’t. Personal credo: “Eat well, drink well, love well, live well.” Available for inspection. Priceless, OBO. START YOUR ENGINES As the test drive begins, Kevin takes the wheel of a Rocket Car, and the daters approach Mach 1 (they approach it, but never actually get passed 20 mph) as they cruise south along the harbor from the northern tip of Harbor Island. The first pit stop is Little Italy Spaghetteria, where the daters turn over their keys and park at the bar for pre-dinner champagne. 46 | SEPTEMBER 2008 « PACIFICsandiego.com [ Continued on page 48 ]
