12 California Bakeries Specializing In Old-Fashioned Pies Made From Scratch

One apple orchard on this list stays open 363 days a year. I have to admit, that makes me curious what pie lovers do on the other two. That same farm has worked the land for over 100 years and is run by its fifth generation. Another stop on the list started as a simple fruit stand back in 1950.

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.
