So Sanchez and his wife, Becky, leased a former Tony Roma\u2019s just west of Westfield Carlsbad mall last spring and then spent several months remodeling the 6,000-square-foot space into a Besta-Wan. &#8220;This is the Besta-Wan on steroids,&#8221; said Sanchez, adding that it\u2019s been a challenge matching the coziness of the Cardiff location, a former private residence on Aberdeen Drive. &#8220;It\u2019s hard to replicate the \u2018little house\u2019 feel.&#8221; But similar to Cardiff, the Carlsbad restaurant is decorated with a wide variety of eye-catching items. They include metal fortune cookies, album covers, model cars, pictures of celebrities, cheerful sayings and memorabilia.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Terracotta<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Terracotta, terra cotta or terra-cotta, a type of earthenware, is a clay-based unglazed or glazed ceramic, where the fired body is porous. Its uses include vessels (notably flower pots), water and waste water pipes, bricks, and surface embellishment in building construction, along with sculpture such as the Terracotta Army and Greek terracotta figurines. The term is also used to refer to items made out of this material and to its natural, brownish orange color, which varies considerably. In archaeology and art history, &#8220;terracotta&#8221; is often used to describe objects such as figurines, not made on a potter&#8217;s wheel. Objects made on a wheel from the same material, are called pottery; the choice of term depends on the type of object rather than the material.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Luc<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Year: 2015 (May 21, 2015) 11&#8243; x 8.5&#8243; Media: Canon\u00ae Pro Platinum High Gloss Photo Paper Printers: Canon\u00ae PIXMA Color Art: Photo Artist: Luc Paquin The Besta-wan Big House in Carlsbad &#8220;We\u2019ve almost saturated the business at the original one,&#8221; said Sanchez, explaining that the kitchen at the 3,000-square-foot Cardiff location is too small to &#8230; <a title=\"The BESTA-WAN, Carlsbad, May 21, 2015\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lucpaquin.com\/?p=382\" aria-label=\"Read more about The BESTA-WAN, Carlsbad, May 21, 2015\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-382","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-photo"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lucpaquin.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/382","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lucpaquin.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lucpaquin.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lucpaquin.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lucpaquin.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=382"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.lucpaquin.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/382\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":384,"href":"https:\/\/www.lucpaquin.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/382\/revisions\/384"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lucpaquin.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=382"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lucpaquin.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=382"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lucpaquin.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=382"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
