Cracker Barrel
Big, beautiful slab of meatloaf surrounded by some of my favorite vegetables! At the Cracker Barrel in Yuma, AZ.
A SoCal institution for generations! Outstanding chicken parmigiana at Pernicano’s in El Cajon.
A SoCal institution that never disappoints! The venerable Double Double is consistently excellent!
Outstanding wood-fired pizza at Wynola Pizza! In business since 2001, this place is legit. Located just 3 miles west of Julian, CA on Hwy 78 in the small hamlet of Wynola. I also tried their Caesar salad and it is one of the best I’ve put in my mouth. Also a great venue for live music. Always an enjoyable time when stopping by this backcountry institution.
Sadly, Quizno’s is becoming more and more scarce. Here are the last couple of sandwiches I enjoyed at our beloved Ramona, CA location before they closed a couple months ago. Outstanding Turkey Ranch & Swiss and my favorite Classic Italian.
One of my favorite happy hour spots in Oceanside is Hello Betty Fish House! Stunning open air views of the beach with a top-shelf yet casual vibe. I enjoyed a few small plates, including an outstanding fish & chips plus tasty street taco things with huge daubs of guac! Their clam chowder was pretty average though.
Very very “Spicy Korean Bowl” at Pei Wei! I like spicy but this one was a bit too much for me! ðŸ˜
Outback really surprised me with this Bloomin’ Burger! It was outstanding! When you’re ready to branch out from a delicious steak, I highly recommend trying one of their thoughtful burger offerings.
Outstanding wet burrito lunch special at Hacienda Casa Blanca in El Cajon, CA! 😅
