Best area-specific food joints

Corrales Mexican Food makes real good... Mexican food, haha. They also make awesome cheeseburgers and french fries.

What are, in your opinion, the best food joints in your area? It could be a family-run hot dog stand or a state-wide restaurant chain, anything.

Club 33...by far. Eating here will literally change your life. It has a 15 year waiting list and costs $40,000 a month for membership. I got in once with my godmother (her boss has a membership) and it was awe inspiring. It's on the Disneyland grounds, but is hidden...was once a private club for Walt and his sponsors.

But since I'll probably never get in again in my entire life...I'll have to say Tea Rush. This amazingly nice asian woman runs the place and makes the BOMBEST shrimp. Not to mention the amazing mocha frappe and amathyst tea.

Believe it or not, my social studies teacher worked their as a teen. She waited on JFK :O

Ya?! Haha thats awsome. I think I remember seeing a picture of him in the waiting room.
Bill Gates, Brad Pitt, and President Obama are all on the waiting list still. Even fame doesnt mean anything to Disney

Griolis, best real Italian style pizza in town and that i've ever had. There's also a really great sub chain called Firehouse Subs that make some awesome subs.

Also, her daughter is a pro surfer. Oh yeah and she co-inspired a 3 and a half star book

Endless sushi? Ya got me...I think I need to fly out to Sandy Springs, GA.

I LOVE sushi! Best sushi place around here is called Sumo. IT'S TEH BEST!!! no more than 3 dollars for 6 pieces of your favorite kind of sushi roll
They also have the best lunch/dinner combos... Teryaki beef ribs, salmon.... mmmmmm

Woodranch is by far the best barbecue joint I've been to. It's pretty expensive but at dinner time they give 4 whole 1 foot long beef ribs instead of 2

@Durkee
There's an all you can eat sushi place somewhere in Ventura... it's closer

Puffer fish? That is probably the one dish in the entire world I have yet to try (other than live octopus). The place must be pretty good to be allowed to serve it...if not prepared right it can kill ya.

yeah you dress up when you go..it's not your avarage pig trough xD

IN the world tho I would have to say my favorate place is Spur Steak Ranches...best ribs in the world. (Litteraly)

I beg to differ! I'll bet you haven't tried casu marzu!



And are you really going to try live octopus? That can kill you too... The bastard will sucker onto your throat and choke you. You have to chew it for like 10 minutes. Whole. While it's still moving. Don't forget it's pretty big.

your thinking about an octopus..squid are pretty small..and tubeular

But Durkee said live octopus o.O

Havents had casu marzu specifically, but I have eaten grubs/maggots/etc. live.
Grubs I could handle, but the maggots just had too much of a gross factor. I had some problems after.

Heck ya live octopus! Most places require age 18+ so I'm just playing the waiting game

o wow..so he did my bad..his crazy...worst thing ive ever eaten was fresh gator meat.

My town has NOTHING but pizza joints. WE HAVE 5!!! Tony's, Pizza Place, O's, Nice and Easy (convenience store), and Grande's. Pizza Place is the best!

There was a BBQ place out near LA in some town called (no joke) Dr. Hogley Wogley's BBQ. Amazing stuff there, and they put the leftovers in a bag (literally, it's a clear garbage bag)! Recommend it, especially after shooting shotguns for 2 hours straight (shoulder...aches...horribly!).
