Kelly Cisek<br />
Like most <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> transplants,<br />
Kelly Cisek moved here “for<br />
the sunshine.” Hailing from<br />
the snowy slopes of the <strong>Pacific</strong><br />
Northwest, she traded UGG boots<br />
for Reef flip flops seven years ago<br />
and hasn’t looked back.<br />
Cisek is nightlife editor for<br />
NBC’s TheFeast.com. When she’s<br />
not attending club soirées and<br />
restaurant grand openings, she<br />
can be found soaking up the sun<br />
in <strong>Pacific</strong> Beach or practicing her<br />
Italian in Little Italy. Follow her<br />
on Twitter @CiaoBionda.<br />

with Guest House DJs Scooter and<br />
Lavelle, “Out for a Spin,” page 69.<br />
David<br />
Nelson<br />
David Nelson reads cookbooks<br />
the way other people read novels.<br />
This has been true since he developed<br />
a fascination with cooking<br />
and culinary history in college<br />
(spurred by hunger and disillusion<br />
with cafeteria food).<br />
An adept chef, Nelson has expert<br />
knowledge of French and other<br />
European cooking styles. For years,<br />
he had a role in directing the <strong>San</strong><br />
<strong>Diego</strong> edition of The Zagat Survey.<br />
He also served as a columnist for<br />
Westways magazine and was a frequent<br />
contributor to the Copley-era<br />
<strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> Union-Tribune.<br />
