Best sour dough ranges from San Luis Obispo to San Francisco, CA. LA.....best known for Kings Sweet Hawiian (bread, rolls, etc.).
Fast food struggles in San Diego because of all the mom and ethnic food joints. From Mexican to Thai to Greek to Vietnamese (pho) to Indian to Polynesian (teryaki) and out course Japanese (sushi). This is home for Rubios Baja fish tacos as well.
Chinese is best in NYC or SF. Bagels and Pizza best in NJ. And I sure do miss Diners! Especially for that early morning fix of black coffee and coconut creme pie.
amen ....^^^
there is nothing like living near an award winning bakery, .....
When I was a kid in other states, I began to hear about Schatt's Bakery in Bishop, Ca. Their specialty "Sheep Herder's" which used to be distributed on the West Coast; into the Great Plains, then all the sudden stopped.....(reason being, they only shipped their Sheep Herders bread, which had no preservatives, it would last only a few days on a store shelf, then mold, one had to get it fresh).....
A Bavarian Bakery kept open by the 5th generation, family of the immigrant forefathers named Schatt). Not only do they churn out yeast breads of every type, they also cook over 200+ pastries, albeit, Danish, Cakes, Pies, or- you name it.....moreso slices of Heaven..........
My kids used to stare into the 2 each 30 foot glass showcases, (in the shape of an L), they'd walk from one end to the other, telling me and Kim what they wanted along their walk.......first question in Unison, "Mom, Dad, how many can we have"........just as many as you want, of any and everything. I could never go into Schatt's without spending $50 or more, and its been 15 years, since I've been to Schatts......(Last few trips by it, was in the late night, when closed tho')........I imagine what 50$ was worth in the yr 2000, is now probably worth $100 easily or more...........
