We recently came home from a trip to Los Angeles. My husband is from the area, and he was actually doing a gig with a band from here. We made it into a mini vacation and did the beach and Disneyland too.
One of our favorite things to do on vacation is to eat out at only places that we CANNOT eat at where we live. Being that my hubby transplanted almost 20 years ago from LA, there are many food joints he speaks of with fond memories...that he misses. We hit quite a few of them. :)
We actually saw this on the Travel Channel, so we made it a point to visit. Slater's 50/50 is an amazing burger joint in SoCal, and we happened to visit the Huntington Beach location. They make incredible burgers...50% ground beef and 50% BACON. yummmmm
After spending hours at the beach, we were all so hungry. El Pollo Loco was a childhood favorite for Mr Toddlerwhisperer...so we stopped in. It was SO good. Even the kids picked their chicken legs clean!
On our way out of town, we stopped at a Tommy's Burgers...for the YUMMMMy chili burgers and chili fries. The kids have stated a few times that they wish there was one in our "country."
Literally since Mr. T and I started dating in 2000, he has mentioned this place. Soups in bread bowls, delicious sandwiches. Boudin's did not disappoint.
There were some other really fantastic stops we made out west, but these are some of the only photos that were taken..(all by Mr T)
One of my favorite food experiences was actually at my cousin and his wife's house. My cousin is an amazing cook, and he made a crab salad that is SO absolutely delicious...I will be sharing it here with you soon.
What are your favorite restaurants to visit? Do you crave a restaurant you visited once on vacation?
I crave one place in my home town Palm Springs. There is a restaurant called Billy Reeds and they make THE BEST cinnamon rolls. I have to have some every visit to grandma and bring a bunch home as well. :)
