California Locals Swear These 11 Mexican Restaurants Are Among The Best In The State

One taco counter on this list serves octopus cooked in its own ink, and it holds a Michelin star. I love that a plastic-tray kind of meal can earn that kind of respect. The surprises keep stacking up. One spot fills its kitchen with mesquite smoke for Sonora-style tacos. Another stays open until nearly 4 AM on weekends, which feels like a public service.

Is Duarte’s Tavern In Pescadero Still Worth The Coastal Drive For Pie And Artichoke Soup?

Highway 1 has a way of tempting drivers to keep rolling past every small town. In Pescadero, one old dining room has been asking people to pull over since 1894. Its claims to fame are a green artichoke soup that once won over a TV host and a slice of berry pie that people plan whole trips around. The big question is simple: does the legend still hold up today?

One Of California’s Most Talked-About Restaurants Is Back In A Stunning Historic Hotel

A pie made with rose petals, hibiscus gelée, and a pretzel crust has a new home. It moved into a hotel built on an old movie studio backlot. That pie comes from a restaurant named after a chef’s daughter and his grandmother. I love that there’s a little more to the story than a menu.

Lookout tasted 11 pumpkin pies in Santa Cruz County. These two are the best.

Every fall, while Americans argue over the best way to cook turkey, the real star of Thanksgiving sits quietly on the dessert table, waiting to be smothered in whipped cream. For many, stuffing a wedge of pumpkin pie or three down your pie hole is an essential part of the third Thursday in November. More pumpkin pies than poultry are eaten during this culinary holiday — 50 million pies versus a mere 46 million turkeys. While some consider a confection made from squash controversial, pumpkin pie fans far outweigh the naysayers. It’s the most popular holiday pie, beating out apple and pecan by double digits.

13 Changes In-N-Out Burger Needs To Make

I have a few beefs with In-N-Out Burger (bun intended), but I, like so many with ties to California, grew up eating here. Founded in Baldwin Park in 1948, the fast-food chain feels like it's woven into the fingerprint of the Golden State at this point. And with generations of my mom's side born and raised in Southern California, it should be no surprise that it was a family tradition to eat at In-N-Out when we were visiting our loved ones. With these meals marking our gatherings, reunions, and Disneyland trips with everybody, In-N-Out Burger has never just felt like some random fast-food joint to me. It feels personal.
