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…

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…

THE BREAK is opening very soon in the former Central Coast Meat Market in Pismo… billing itself as a sports-themed beach bar and grill: wait, isn’t that what the thing under Oyster Loft is? On the same block, MORENO TAQUERIA is indeed NOT closed as was the rumor, just some random spottiness. That’s quite the…
Resty Gossip 9/11
A-TOWN DINER is back. And if I cared I’d look up the name of it for you. HEMMINGWAY’S chef walked out, so all my friends lookin for kitchen-staff there’s one out there. Did you know the AIRPORT has brisket on Saturday? THE CARRISA postponed brunch til next Sunday citing “un-readiness”. MORE RESTAURANTS SHOULD DO THIS….

Should probably lead off with PUFFER’S OF PISMO, since that’s what everyone’s gnashing their teeth about. Listen: they’re re-structuring things a bit, eh? How many times has he remodelled that place? Let him take a week off and align his focus. I always wondered how long Andy was going to stay there. No one’s ever…
The Best 12 Restaurants in Paso Robles
FOUR different times this week people have messaged me about where to eat in Paso Robles, and TWO times in the past month I have threatened to make a list. It’s just SO explosive up there right now. I fully feel the pendulum has swung back to NoCo after dawdling about SoCo for a decade….
SLO BBQ Report
I have been promising a blog-post dedicated to local BBQ for some time. This has been an interesting self-assignment and I’ve probably dallied far too long, but it is a great subject, with deep roots and STRONG opinions. Also it doesn’t photograph well, so I thought I’d kick things off with some pickles! First of…

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…
Resty Gossip 1.6.19
Apparently, it’s Restaurant Month–that most hated of events for chefs and staff alike. Why is it always in January? Is is because everyone is broke after Christmas and no one goes out? Is there up-sale potential? Maybe in beverage. SLO is January, Santa Barbara and Santa Ynez up the ante a bit–paring it down to…
Restaurant Report 9.30
Not much going on this week. The furor over ALEX being demolished has almost faded. On to something else to be gratuitously infuriated about. Bunch of new spots in Guadalupe opening. Little one-holers. CHINO’S TACOS… GUADALUPE CAFE… LA PLASITIA OAXAQUENA… Speaking of Guadalupe, I want to re-cap Chef Maili taking the Halme (get it? Get…
