Eclectic eatery and gintonería in North Park, co-founded by Jerry Coleman's daughter, makes Eater.com's short list of best new U.S. restaurants in 2022.
A North Park eatery created by Chelsea Coleman and her business partner, Rae Gurne, was spotlighted byThe owners were as surprised as anyone that they were chosen for the elite list, putting their restaurant with its unusual name, Mabel’s Gone Fishing, on the national foodie map.
What would her late dad, National Radio Hall of Fame broadcaster Jerry Coleman, the longtime voice of the Padres, have said? He was known for his colorful sports commentary punctuated by head-scratching comments known as “Colemanisms.” “I think he’d be so pleased with how hard she has worked and how well she’s doing,” notes Chelsea’s mother, Maggie Coleman, a longtime La Jolla resident. She describes her daughter as a determined, extremely disciplined worker who cares deeply about her employees.
The fictional mermaid fantasy of Mabel is printed on the menu. The beach-loving canine gets sucked into a swirling whirlpool where she is befriended by a dolphin and dines on an array of seafood before being deposited on a distant unknown shore somewhere in the Mediterranean. The menu features dishes showcasing fresh oysters, clams and other seafood, natural organic vegetables, Basque-inspired cheesecake and an array of natural spirits and organic wines from small production wineries.
Chelsea, who attended the University of Virginia and pursued a culinary program in Florence, Italy, says she loved baking from a young age. “I forced my friends to do a restaurant night and cook food for the family, and they’d suffer through it,” she laughs.Gurne brings front-of-the-house experience to the operation, while Coleman co-chefs with Dan Luong and Ross Garcia.
