Undercover Gourmet

My ideal Southern California lunch scenario takes place at Zinc Cafe in Laguna Beach. Perfect weather, paired with a patio for people watching, and fresh pressed sandwiches combines for an ideal morning. My hot brie sandwich with gazpacho was light, but filling enough for the first meal of the day. The soup on the other hand, was too similar to drinking liquid tsatziki sauce. Green iced tea washed everything down beautifully. Now begins the drive up the Pacific Coast Highway.

Our next stop was also an excellent one at Baby Blues BBQ in Venice. A gigantic pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw and a side of mac and cheese for me, while the hubby had ribs. Both dishes were incredibly tender, and the dousing of jalapeno vinegar and bbq sauce made it even better.

The last meal of the day was a guilty pleasure that I don’t admit to eating too often… Carl’s Jr. Teriyaki chicken burger good. Teriyaki beef burger even better. That’s all I’m going to say.
