American food sharing under the epidemic - Western Cuisine

I'm going to share western dishes this week~~

Thanks to the diverse culture and terrain, I can also eat some dishes other than American food in California, such as Mexican food, seafood dishes, etc.

Without further ado, let's start with the New Year's Eve dinner~

✏️Nick's San Clemente

During the New Year's Eve, I took a long vacation, and my friend came to California from the middle to play.

Marginal people like me, I tried my best to get them out,

About in the middle of San Diego and Los Angeles - San Clemente, about 40 minutes from LA to this side,

Walking to the door of the store, we plan to sit for outdoor dining

The service staff said that it will take about 45 minutes to wait for about 45 minutes, and will be notified by text message when the number is reached.

It really takes a long time to wait, and there is an endless stream of guests, so I took advantage of this gap to start chatting with friends I haven’t seen for many years.

And because of the epidemic, if you eat outdoors now, everyone picks up their mobile phones and scans the menu with a QR code.

When it comes to food, I usually look at reviews or photos on the Internet when I don’t understand the menu or when there are obstacles to choosing.

In addition to the seaside, you must eat seafood, so I ordered the Backend Fish Sandwich

Overall, it's refreshing, their burger buns are delicious, and the fries are solid

Finally, I asked the clerk to take pictures for us, and he took a lot of pictures with great care, although many of them failed~

✏️Trejo's Tacos - Farmers Market

I was unemployed for a few weeks while waiting for a visa, and I happened to visit this Farmers Market at that time.

Next to this market is The Grove, a European-style shopping area,

There is a strong contrast in this area - the kind of super modern buildings on one side and a historic market next door (suddenly thinking of Sisi South Village in Xinyi District

Many shops in the farmer's market are also closed due to the epidemic. There are many Mexican-style foods, nuts, breads, desserts, and very Chinese-style tea shops in this area.

(I later found out that yoututber Kelly once went here to visit a sticker shop, the only small cultural and creative store)

Finally, I chose this store for lunch, because I saw a photography team taking pictures of this store's introduction. I want to say....It shouldn't be too bad.

Because it was last summer vacation, I forgot what else to eat besides salad

In fact, it is a Mexican-style salad (?), which I like very much. The yellow and crunchy one on top is very similar to corn flakes. It is very crunchy and fragrant. It goes well with lettuce.

The small disadvantage is that because I eat outdoors at a high temperature of 38 degrees, I really want to eat quickly and find a place to escape the heat...

✏️ Tognazzini's Dockside

Last year on Labor Day, around the beginning of September, I went to Yosemite National Park with my friends to play. At that time, I encountered a burning mountain. Fortunately, I only stayed in the smoky mountain for three days.

On the way back, we took the coastal road and a local friend recommended a seafood restaurant, so we wanted to make a pilgrimage.

I didn't expect it to be overcrowded. I had to queue up to order food, and then wait for the food. I couldn't run away in about 40 minutes, so I ordered bubbles to quench my thirst.

After the food is ready, the outdoor space is full, and I don’t want people to be crowded. After all, it’s better not to touch too many people.

We walked to the pier next to it and watched the seaside to eat Oyster (should it be called oysters?)

Oyster is really fresh and sweet, I guess the feeling of slipping into the mouth is very satisfying, and then squeeze a little lemon, it has a sweet and sour feeling

With the fried food combo, you can't tell which is the protagonist.

Fried food recommends combo, because it seems that many people order fish sticks, but I think the performance of fish sticks... just pop

✏️Shake Shack

Once I went to the largest IKEA in the United States to buy things, and at night I went to the nearby Burbank to find dinner.

Suddenly saw Shake Shack! I was shocked, I had Shake Shack in New York and Chicago once before, I thought it was an eastern food

Unexpectedly, Shack Shack also has several in California, but the crowd is not as crazy as the other two fast food restaurants-In and out and Chick-fli-a

But I can only suffer from the cold wind. I eat hamburgers outside, and I have to worry that the burgers and fries will be cold, so I have to finish them quickly.

Their french fries are really delicious, paired with the rich cheese sauce, it is a perfect match~~ The meat is thick enough and tastes Juicy

✏️The Kickin' Crab

One time, I was going to IKEA to buy furniture and went to the Orange County area--Costa Mesa

I don't know why I was very hungry after visiting IKEA, and then it was a process of finding dinner. We ran two Kickin Crabs,

The first one said that it would take about 1 hour to wait. I wanted to say whether there would be less people going to the other one, but it turned out to be about an hour wait.

The first restaurant has fewer indoor seats, so if you want to talk, go to the restaurant with fewer people. It was really hard to eat a crab, and it was our turn after hanging around for a long time.

Their Oyster, I think is relatively ordinary. The fries are very thin, I can't eat potatoes, I feel like I'm eating fried noodles

However, the point of this shop is to wear gloves to eat lobster and crab. Every time you eat this kind of food, there is a seafood smell between your nails XD
