Don't You Forget About Me

So here are a couple restaurants I was either too tired or didn't have phone service to post.


The Garlic Onion Tortilla Cake is a Guy Fieri signature appetizer and if you don't feel like waiting 24 hours for it to set and make it at home, you can order it at his restaurant Johnny Garlic's (there are several locations, but we ate at the one in Windsor, CA). It was really good, and free I might add, due to the hotel's recommendation. The food at his place is flavor heavy, relying on onion, garlic and herbs to really flavor the food. Although it was very tasty, it was a little over priced for what it was.


1285 Restobar and Trattoria, in the adorable town of Florence, OR is a most fitting Italian restaurant where David ate his favorite meal of the trip: herb crusted Halibut. I was not feeling so awesome (could it be the food and beer?) and had a boring salad. After seeing their pizzas, I wish I had ordered one of those. The Italian Wedding Cake was also a great non-overly sweet dessert. Service is a little slow, but everyone was very friendly and accommodating. Patio diners even have blankets to wrap themselves up to stay warm.  The town of Florence has many historic buildings, miles of dunes and a beautiful view of the water.

Pictured below is our experience at Buster Burgers in Willits, CA.  Fried food doesn't photograph well, but David always judges a burger joint by their onion rings, and I thought these were nice and crunchy and a little sweet.  The California dog is covered in all things yummy: tomatoes and avocado.  The burger consumers were very happy and once again, one of the beers on tap was a Scrimshaw Pilsner. Hopefully the BevMo in Fresno has some Scrimshaw because this is my new favorite beer.
