You also might want to try posting this thread up in the SoCal section for more traffic.

Good luck and hope you love it out here! :tup:

Moved to the more appropriate section

Famous Dave's BBQ is one of my favs

what kind of food? asking for food recommendations in los angeles is ridiculous without some kind of idea what you're up for.

Get an app called Chefs Feed. It lists down all the restaurants LA chefs would go to eat and their favorite dish. Also includes NYC, Boston, Chicago, etc. I use it all the time. Enjoy your stay. There are so many awesome places to eat here. Be ready to spend $$$$$ and throw out your scale.

If you could narrow down to a specific area in SoCal you are visiting and the type of food you are looking for (american, asian, etc.), we maybe able to tell you some great places to choose :tup:

I'm staying at the embassy suites in brea. La county. Idk where that is but I know it's close to Whittier.

For example. I know Santa Monica's fathers office is know for their best burgers from watching tv. I'm a huge food enthusiast so if any of you are too I want to know the best places to get healthier style foods and of course quick bites.

I know it's a very general question but I'm just looking for YOUR favorite spot to eat and YOUR Food.

Hope his helps :)

Gen kbbq, sake2me, star BBQ for spicy intestines, slaters 50/50, m&m's blueberry donuts and special croissant, seaside donuts/ ham and cheese croissants for those drunk munchies. 85c bakery

You're the best. I'm writing these down :icon18:

If you are staying in BREA, theres a few great choices..
I am a total foodie. So respect my choices...

If you are feeling classy, theres a great spot in brea called Taps. Its a fish/steakhouse. Its close to where you'll be staying. Good bar for late night. Its also on a street with Buffalo Wild Wings, BJs Brewery, Brea Improve, (Check For comedians coming to town those weeks).

For fast eats in brea, google "The Hat" pastrami sandwhiches and fries. Itll change your life.

Also GBurger is pretty good. Near Brea. (La Habra I think..) 5 min away.

If you are feeling like driving down to the beach towards Newport- You can hit up my favorite sushi spot in Tustin. Its called Tommy Sushi. Best Galaxy handroll, salmon sushi, poki bowl, baked scallops, etc..

TROYs Breakfast Burritos in Orange CA...

Let me know what areas youll be in and I will go in more detail if need be!:tup:

For the first 2 days ill be staying somewhere in San Diego. I'm not sure where but that's the plan. Then I'll be visiting Santa Monica ( yet again I'm not sure where) and for the most part Whittier.

And thanks so much, I'm def gonna try to hit these spots!

Hopefully I'll find a gym :/ haha

The hat has HUGE portions, also try bruxie it is in Orange.

Order a large fries from The Hat & then tell me you are still hungry.

Bruxie is owned by my friends family. Love that place! Great food

Bruxie's is also in downtown Brea, next to Edwards Cinemas. I agree, go to Tap's, that place is amazing. Cha Cha's is also good, while Berkeley Dog is also in that same complex for good hot dogs :tup:

Also, there is D'Vine Mediterranean food in the Target shopping center, Olive Pit next to the Wal-Mart on Imperial Highway...there is Flappyjack's on the 55, get off at Tustin Ranch and turn left; that has BOMB breakfast...

If you go to the Hat, get the fries with chili cheese...will feed 6!

On State College Blvd there's What's Up Men (Ramen joint, not gay bar :roflpuke2: no insult intended), Pielogie, to name a few.

You can eat at Tommy Bahama's restaurant in Corona del Mar (I think) if you want to drive.

BTW - I dunno if it's still operating, but just avoid the Tut's Bar and Grill in the Embassy Suites. Went to hell years ago.

You're also not far from downtown Fullerton, which has a good tapas bar, Heroe's Bar & Grill, Spaghetti Factory (meh), a good steakhouse whose name I forget right now, and lots of bars and lounges to hang out in.

Oh oh, when you're in Santa Monica? Hit up Bay Cities Deli for their 'Godmother Sandwich'. Get the hot and spicy version. IT'S SO DAMN GOOD.

Bay Cities Italian Deli & Bakery - Santa Monica - Santa Monica, CA

Then bring one back to Brea and drop one off for me because I'm right next door in Fullerton :tup:

what part of SO CAL ??

La county. Whittier. Near fullerton. Im staying in brea at the embassy




Btw thanks guys. I LOVE Cali already!
Suck i cant bring my Z down there :/ maybe ill move there and ship it down

If you're interested, stop by the Cerritos meet that's happening while you're in town. Some of us usually go find some good food in the area :tup:

If you go to the Hat in brea. Get the Pastrami burger!!

If you like ramen or Yakitori, go to Shinsengumi in Fountain Valley or in Torrance.

Italian food...go to CnO's Trattoria near Marina Del Rey

Fried Chicken and Waffles? Roscoes

Cajun style crawfish, crab and lobster? The Boiling Crab

I didnt know there are so many restaurants in brea and i have been living here for what? 15 years?

Anyways, if you in the san diego area, try the restaurants in la jolla beach, could be pricey at timea but top notch food

I was gunna say Roscoe's!

Chicken livers.

are amazing.....if you're daring enough.

If you've never been to SoCal, then do yourself a favor and hit up an In-N-Out at least once to see what all the hype is about. Whatever you order, make sure you say "Animal Style" at the end.

^^^ I forgot you guys dont get to experience the wonderful orgasm of IN & OUT!

I would highly suggest a #1 Animal Style with regular fries & A coke. Ill tell you if you get the animal burger and the animal fries, you might be a little animal'd out... The fries are GREAT and should be first eaten with ketchup only.

omg in n out looks badasssss. That's def a give

If you're going to in n out go quad..... Or triple triple if you are watching your gut.

:facepalm:

*AHEM*
After the double double (which is the largest ADVERTISED burger combo) You order it as a "____ by ____" being how many meat parties and how many cheese slices

Here's my prick order:
4 by 2
Animal style (this means grilled onions, mustard fry [they put a dab of mustard on the griddle and cook the party on top of it], extra spread and added pickles)
No pickles (recently I have hated pickles on burgers)
Add raw (onions)
Well done
Extra toast

Or the same thing minus the lettuce and tomatoes even. And THAT gives you an amazing burger


Well done and extra toast gives you a bit more texture to sink your teeth into, just watch out. Well done patties are hot as hell

Awe, you had to post a picture. My stomach started grumbling :(

LOLLL!!! How do you think I feel??? I'm so pumped for some good ole Cali eats!

mine did...then i saw the animal fries and i nearly died inside.
