8 California Polish Delis That Are Worth Every Mile Of The Drive

Then I learned a beachfront counter in Southern California serves zapiekanka, the open-faced Polish street sandwich loaded with melted cheese. I did...

This California Italian Restaurant Makes Handmade Pasta Worth Planning An Entire Dinner Around

The walls here were hand-plastered in waves meant to look like pasta shapes or wedges of Parmigiano. Even the lamps above the tables were designed to mimic pizza dough. I like how this restaurant treats dough as more than dinner. The pasta is shaped by hand, and the menu changes daily.

11 California Bakeries Making Fresh Sourdough Bread For The Thanksgiving Table

One San Francisco bakery has been making sourdough since 1849. That means its bread was rising before California even became a state. I still can’t get over that. Sourdough is old-school baking at its best. It doesn’t use packaged yeast. Bakers rely on a living starter made of flour and water, and it gives the bread that famous tang.
