Oh sure: cruising up and down the metropolated 101 is fun, delving into the dizzying downtown dining districts of San Luis Obispo and Paso Robles is rewarding AND filling but taking a left on Santa Rosa and following State Route 1 towards the ocean slows things down a bit, concentrating a series of restaurants in…

The Doc Bernstein’s in SLO has become SLO A LA MODE… still ice cream and there WERE rumors of some sort of insider-trading from the old ownership to the new operators but I stopped eating ice cream when I was 9 so don’t really care. Go to BATCH like a grown-up. Did I ever write…
5 Towns 5 Burgers
Starting down south and headed north out to the coast brings us to the The Village of Arroyo Grande and no shortage of burgers. There are SIX in basically 3 blocks just on the left side of the strip and at least one on the south. While the tried-and-true long-term diner classics pack a punch,…

Not gonna get all carried away with a lot of catchy dialogue this week, just going to run down a random collection of sightings and rumors. Infusion in the old Flavor Factory Morro Bay has a sign up and I swear I saw the windows un-papered. Allegedly former employees. So this leads the question: FF…

The Gus’ saga continues with a not-so-hot Health Dept grade and financial issues backing it up, though declining sales surely can’t be to blame. Always seems to be plenty of people willing to be deli-abused chowing down. The thing that always gets me about Gus’s Grocery is: Go to ANY other sandwich shop in town…

Another BBQ spot opened in Morro Bay downtown: Savory Smoke has a curt menu of good looking stuff–I’ve only had the hamburger, which is ‘Jimmy Buffet Style’. Look it up. I had to. Never heard of it. And just like his horrible music–turns out his taste in burger condiments is not my style either. Up…

Let’s start here. Todo Bueno probably one of my favorite spots in SLO Public Market and their tacos are *weird* but GIVE THEM A SHOT! Just let them make them they way they want no matter how strange it sounds and they are super good. StaXXX in Morro Bay make tacos kinda on the secret…
Resty Gossip 3.3
Resty Gossip has been cancelled this week because there’s nothing interesting to talk about. So here’s your TOP-5 Smashburgers to fight about. There’s about 8 of you out there who *get* it, and we all keep Smashburger Score (SS) according to the recipe. And we pray hard for the rest of you. When it comes…
