San Diego is widely acknowledged as a great place to live. We've got the ocean, the climate, the sunshine — the list goes on and on.

Two new shows coming up on KPBS Television introduce us to places and people in San Diego that you've never seen.
And the shows are hosted by two women who are passionate about the richness of San Diego's land and cuisine.
In "Savor San Diego,", San Diego chef, restaurateur and cookbook author, Su-Mei Yu, will uncover San Diego’s hidden culinary treasures and show how they can be used to create delicious and healthful dishes at home.
