Sunny Side Kitchen: This Escondido Restaurant Ranked #3 in America
Kate Carpenter did not set out to build one of the top-ranked restaurants in the nation.
Before Sunny Side Kitchen became a beloved Escondido spot and earned national recognition on Yelp’s Top 100 Places to Eat in the U.S., Kate was working in journalism and public relations. In this episode of More Precious Than Rubies, Kate shares how she and her husband Bob built Sunny Side Kitchen from the ground up, what journalism taught them about listening to people, how customer connection became central to their restaurant, and why community matters more than ever as they navigate a difficult health season together.
If you are in San Diego County, especially North County or Escondido, this episode is your sign to visit Sunny Side Kitchen, grab breakfast or lunch, buy a gift card, and support a local restaurant that has poured so much love into its community.

This Free Clothing Closet Isn’t a Thrift Store | Sharia’s Closet
On this week's episode of More Precious Than Rubies, I toured Sharia’s Closet, a woman-founded San Diego nonprofit providing free emergency clothing to individuals and families experiencing crisis, hardship, or major life transition. What started from Shamine Linton's own experience with clothing insecurity and a desire to serve her community has grown into a dignity-centered resource for families, survivors, children, men, women, and people rebuilding their lives.
