West Coast Groove

I'll groove with ya! 

On the Food Channel tonight, they had a show about "Beach Eats".  I wasn't too interested in the saltwater taffy, or the hotdogs.  But when they showed the surfers' favorite, fish tacos, I nearly drooled on the TV!  I love California.

Yeah, good BBQ is hard to come by.  I was spoiled by the years I lived in Kansas City.

The best I've found is in Oakland, on San Pablo Blvd. 

Can I join too although itsa different West Coast.  An aussie west coast.   and we have the best bbq's downunder.  ohhh I can't wait for spring to kick in here.

BellinghamSpence - 2005-09-05 11:15 AM From the NW Coast...I've got a Little Ceasar store 1.5 miles away from home.

Are these just a west coast thing? I assumed they were everywhere? You'll just have to give me a sarcasm alert if that's the deal. I'm pretty dense!

I guess they (Little Ceasars Pizza) are everywhere, I have to go to Seattle for a Chipolte....Pizza is my addiction.

Little Cearsar's is originally from the Detroit-area.  I remember way back in the day when we'd go got two very large pizzas and they came on the same long piece of cardboard. 

Domino's is also from the Detroit-area, but IMO they make nasty pizza.

But lately I've been trying hard to give my business to local shops.  And, at least in the pizza-world, it's paid off.  I'll drive by 2-3 Round Table restaurants to go to Pizza Gourmet for their wonderful Acapulco pizza: fresh tomatillo sauce, seasoned chicken, caramelized onions, mozzarella, fontina, cilantro, garlic

Damn!  I'm hungry!

I thought about this thread this morning. I went to El Cotixan for Carne asada after my ride this morning. Ummmm, good stuff!

I really pitty those Chipotle people

I hear ya!  We were out at the LBS buying my BF a new commuter bike to replace the one that was stolen a while back... right next door to Lepe's.  Guess who had a carnitas burrito for lunch?  And the chips were fantastic!  Light, crunchy, flakey!  And a coke in the bottle.  Mmmmmmm....

Man, I wish I could migrate to Austrailia in the winter. Can I come for bbq?

Yep everyone's welcome for a bbq down the beach as soon as it warms up just a little down here.   I'll chuck on some crayfish and prawns and abalone and fish.  and of course some snaggers (sausages) for anyone that wants.   Add in an esky full of beer and a great sunset sounds like a perfect spring night to me!  Everyone's invited.

newbiedoo - 2005-09-05 8:48 PM  Okey doke! We can bring some California wines! mmmm!!! And some California beer - Red Tail Ale!

To tell the truth, although I talk a mean game about drinking only Sonoma County wines, I like most anything I get from Australia.  Had some Five Families Shiraz the other night that was very yummy!  And only $4.99 at Trader Joe's.
