California Foodie

Headed North from L.A.? Plan your lunch stop around this epic flatbread restaurant. Despite the many amazing toppings, the underlying bread itself is the kicker. I love to sit inside near the giant pizza oven and watch the women build their massive, cheesy creations one by one. Then the gorgeous flatbreads are placed onto a ten-foot-long giant wooden spatula and into the wood fire. Favorite breakfast dish: Scambled egg, burrata, & prosciutto on toast. Favorite Dessert: The oven-warmed s’mores with home-made marshmallow chunks! Favorite flatbread: If you’re a couple, order three small(er) flatbreads of different toppings to share. {The smoked salmon with caviar is nuts!} Thursday & Friday DINNER Saturday & Sunday LUNCH & DINNER

A hidden gem. Blue corn savory waffles to die for. One thing I really like about Hidden Kitchen is their focused menu. This is what we do, and it’s excellent. Tucked away in a back street in the village of Cambria. They’ve managed to create something far beyond your standard breakfast fare.

A favorite place for oysters. Especially their appetizer called ‘Devil’s on Horseback’. They don’t take reservations, so get ready for a line of Boomers at the door at 5:30. Closed Tuesdays. CASH only. Worth the wait!
