60 PARK Morro Bay. Those who read this blog regularly or follow on Instagram will know I plug a couple restaurants in Morro Bay HARD–along with practically a complete avoidance of almost ALL of the rest.

Ahhhh… Pismo. Everybody knows Pismo.

2 Re-visits and a Grand Opening 11.21.15
FULL Soifeats RESTAURANT LIST HERE RAKU RAMEN San Luis Obispo. Was not terribly impressed when first opened.

With the recent–and very sad–closing of MarketSM, one can safely say there is not a restaurant worth eating at North of Clark Avenue. We NEARLY walked out…
New and Re-Visits SLO PISMO CAMBRIA + WINE
THE FULL RESTAURANT LIST Central Coast Restaurants Additions and Re-visits. CHIPWRECKED in Pismo Beach has been on my radar for several years and I just rarely make it down there into the full-on tourist-trudge by the pier.
