The place was a hit pretty much right from the start, and this success resulted in a second Crack Shack hatching in Encinitas in February 2017, set inside a former Coco's. Running the kitchen was CdC Bradley Austin (ex-sous at J&I), while Jon Sloan (ex-EC at J&I) and Dan Pena served as Culinary Director and Director of Operations, respectively. At the end of my post, I wrote that the two partners were "working on a second restaurant, an all-day, fast-casual spot called The Crack Shack" that will "focus on food made from chicken and eggs." The chicken-centric eatery ended up debuting at the tail end of 2015, taking up residence inside an old welding shop right next door to Juniper & Ivy. About six years ago, I had a lovely dinner at San Diego's Juniper & Ivy, an upscale modern American joint started by Chef Richard Blais and financier Michael Rosen.
