Craig "Andy" Beardslee '88
Owner
Hash House A Go Go
San Diego, CA
Nestled in the Hillcrest section of San Diego, just moments away from downtown, you will find Hash House A Go-Go; a well loved restaurant owned by Chef Craig "Andy" Beardslee.
Chef Beardslee grew up on a farm in the Midwest and came to The Cambridge School of Culinary Arts in 1987 with the dream of becoming a Chef and eventually owing his own restaurant. He arrived in San Diego in 1992 discovering many Midwesterners, but not a lot of Midwestern food. Thus, the concept for Hash House A Go-Go was born!
The culinary theme of this ultra hot spot is Midwestern Fusion. The menu evokes memories of the heartland, and has been nicknamed "twisted farm food" by the locals. The dining room resembles an ultra modern roadside cafe with a fresh twist. Customers can admire the farm motif while seated at brushed aluminum tables with generous banquettes for maximum comfort.
CSCA Founder/Director Roberta Dowling visited Hash House A Go-Go recently and pronounced it "wonderful and zany!"
Congratulations Chef "Andy" Beardslee on living your dream and following your passion!
