When I told you a few months ago a Chinese resty was opening in the former Cioppinot-Taco place, I never DREAMED it would be BAMBOO BAMBOO. Well, there you go and several people have actually said it’s good! This info comes rather surprising to me, as my visit to the original location in Morro Bay…

Resty Gossip 3.19
CENTRAL COAST MEAT MARKET is gone. Noticed on one of my drive-by’s and shocked not one of my eyes & ears out there mentioned it. That leaves 2–that’s TWO, folks–TWO briskets in the county: Jefferey’s and G Bros. Three if you count the abysmal Big Bubba’s Bad BBQ. I had heard the new RIBLINE inside…
RESTY GOSSIP 10.2
LURE FISH HOUSE of Ventura fame going into the most expensive gast station in SLO, and the most re-modeled new building lacking ANY tenants what-so-ever in the history of SLO. Can you imagine waht gas would be at that Shell right now?? haha $9.00/ fershure. I’m not angry about this addition at all. Sure it’s…
Resty Gossip 8.7
This space intentionally left blank. What are you going to go to first, Hemingway’s or Cielo? Both open. Raves for the former from the sort of people who eat at places like that and rave about them–not a peep about the latter, yet. Across the street from the Italian joint, The Carlton Hotel and associated…
200 miles of Tacos
I haven’t counted lately, but there are probably well over 150 taquerias listed on my TACO PAGE and that is a LOT of information for all but the die-hard taco-freaks. I get emails, texts, DM’s almost daily, “HELP I’M IN _________ WHERE’S THE BEST TACOS??” Everyone wants a short-list. I’ve never made a TOP-10 or…
The Pod People are Here
This week’s blog may seem like an odd rant, but then do you really read this page for normalcy? It may also seem like a sponsored piece, but I assure you neither the brand showcased here, any of their associated network OR any coffee shops mentioned contribute to my wallet or well-being. This is my…
Resty Gossip 11.21
When I first started scribbling on these pages maybe 10 years ago, I complained constantly about how Paso got all the good restaurants, and SLO seemed to plod along with the usual suspects of pretty safe stuff. OK, maybe not *complained*, but observed loudly. Anchored by the Artisan-Bistro-Villa Creek trilogy, but also Panolivo, THO, Mistura,…
Resty Gossip 10.10
Well, boys & girls: it’s been a year… and what a blurry year. A lot has happened since March 19, 2020, and here we are in the surreal new normal. Covid-restrictions have come and gone; masking has become de rigueur, parklets seem to be standard–even to the extent of some restaurants seemingly DOUBLED their dining…
10 towns 12 Burgers
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…
Resty Gossip 4.29
What is there to talk about? There’s so much. I’ve debated all month whether to write about things, and just finally put it all off until now. Obviously, there isn’t too much new gossip on resty openings or special events, that part of this column is empty. There were many calls in the early hours…
