Cali in a few photos…

Mar 23, 2011 | 16 comments

As promised a few shots of my Cali trip. Don’t be alarmed by all of the food.* Of course I ate it all and must now repent. But ah, dontcha just love vacation food? It’s calorie, carb, and fat free!

Me and that other Bob (Bob’s Big Boy). They have great breakfasts, burgers, and sundaes!

Dots cupcakes. This is a red velvet, cream-cheese icing topped fantasy. What? I was gearing up for the Cupcake Marathon….

I’m sure you’ll notice a theme here with my love of breakfast. This restaurant in Pasadena called Element was ah-mazing. Those little brown guys on the right corner of the plate are called ebelskivers, or stuffed pancakes. These were filled with blueberries and I died and went to fatty heaven.

Nothing says St. Patty’s Day like a Guiness. Chug-a-lug!

Ok, so I found this place via Food Network on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives called Patrick’s Roadhouse. It’s in Santa Monica and they weren’t kidding about the food. This is a breakfast burrito with cheese, eggs, bacon, potatoes, and avocado. Go here to see the video about it on youtube.

The green boba tea. I got this at some place in Pasadena.


And of course, piece en resistance – the In-N-Out Burger.

*I swear I did other stuff. I went to the Norton Simon Museum, shopped on Melrose, and ran along the pier in Santa Monica. But all we really care about is the food right?

    Great pics!
    I had a Bob's Big Boy bank back in the day. I used to go there All The Time in college and somehow ended up with a bank. I loved it. Go B.o.B and Bob!

    Looks like "Big Boy" is sneaking a peak there Beth!

    A "winning" holiday, all the same.

    Thanks for your message re the Earthquake and Tsunami. Things are getting better but slowly. The Japanese version of Charlie Sheen is no longer saying "The losers all just want my life!"
