This Middle-Of-Nowhere California Restaurant Serves The State’s Most Incredible Steaks

There are places in California that everyone knows about, and then there are places that the people who know about them would prefer to keep to themselves. Wool Growers Restaurant in Los Banos falls into the second category, except that the food is so good that keeping it secret starts to feel genuinely selfish.

16 Best Iconic Roadside Restaurants Along Route 66 That Are Worth A Stop

Burgers, breakfast, and fried goodies often spring to mind when we think of iconic, retro American restaurants. Diners, barbecue joints, drive-ins, ice cream parlors, they're all here on U.S. Route 66, America's most iconic highway for a roadtrip. Known fondly as "The Mother Road," which celebrates its centennial in 2026, the highway currently stretches 2,238 miles between Chicago and Santa Monica, although many realignments throughout the 20th century accommodated new interstates and other changes, shortening the route from its original 2,448 miles. Today, some stretches double as interstate highways, while older parts of Historic Route 66 continue to pass through small towns. Along the way, eateries continue to cater to hungry tourists and truckers.

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.
