Not much to talk about this week, so I’ll make this fast. Custom House is closed–relax! It’s just a remodel–but it appears Mr. Ricks is still open (with some food) and of course the best conveyor-belt pizza on the coast: Mission Pizza. The remodel of Custom House brings some industry question marks… I mean… WHY?…

What do you want to talk about this week? I’ve been threatening a Best Tacos in San Luis Obispo post for a while, but mostly covered it last issue. I’ve been itching to do a resty-twirl through Atascadero and also hinting at a SLOco Top 10 but I hate top-whatever lists and besides, everybody always…

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…

The old A&W in Atascadero is becoming a Chipotle. Which is interesting because it’s kinda the first national fast-casual or *mall food* chain for town. How many Habit Burgers are there? Only other thing I can think of and aren’t they a local chain based in SB or something? Of course SLO has scads of…

Every menu on the Central Coast has a burger on it–it’s something I have learned to accept in dining along the coast. Burgers are popular, no doubt: a welcome menu item for no-fuss dining and ubiquitous with American culture. There are probably 300 burgers within 10 miles of where I stand and yes, I could…

There’s gonna be a lot of tacos in this weeks gossip, I’m warning you. I’ll ease you in to it all with a fish taco at the bar in CUSTOM HOUSE out in Avila. Pretty bad tortilla, lots of *stuff* I don’t need, but like everything at Custom House, solid and well-designed for the clientele….

Have you been to ROSALINA yet? There’s quite a few out-of-the-way places I DON’T champion–because they are not worth it–but a few here locally really need to be on your *try* list. The RANGE people in Santa Margarita have slowly put together a ridiculous new spot across the street from them in Santa Margarita, progressively…

THREE new taco places are opening in SLOco: TAQUERIA SANTA CRUZ in the little horrid strip of restaurants on Foothill beside 24HR Nautilus between Dominos and Popeye’s Chicken; TACOS EL VEIJON on the strand in Morro Bay between Taco Temple and Chapala; and EFRENS #5 up on Laurel. Veijon is the only one I am…

MCCONNELL’S FINE ICE CREAM opened down on Monterey in SLO kinda next to where Muzio’s used to be. Next door to JUNK GIRLS and by MINT + CRAFT. No relation to the fine, upstanding writer of these scribblings but thanks for asking almost DAILY. It IS wonderful ice cream though. Pretty much the only one…

FOSSIL WINE BAR in the crazy new EXPLODING downtown section of Atascadero has opened. Wine list is AMAZING. Best in the area. Very well curated and all OVER the place. Speaking of wine bars: Popped into BODEGA LOS ALAMOS in (you’re not going to believe this) Los Alamos yesterday and what an interesting place. It’s…
