Biscuits & Gravy OR A Breakfast Burrito? Why not get a Biscuits & Gravy Burrito from #BusyBeeCafe in Capitola? With Scrambled Eggs, Cheese, Sausage Gravy, Bacon, Biscuit, Honey, and Green Onions in a tortilla. #inthe831

After spending the weekend with the parental units, I wanted a Tri-Tip Sandwich on the way home. I ordered a Tri-Tip Sandwich from Willow Ranch in Buttonwillow, but I’m not sure if I got the right sandwich or not. It was OK. #inthe661

It’s Sandwich Saturday! Santa Maria Classic BBQ Tri-Tip from Harris Ranch Express BBQ in Coalinga. Harris Tri-Tip slow smoked with almond wood, served with choice of house BBQ sauce on a french roll. It’s my usual stop on my way to Northern California. #inthe559 #tritip

Steak & Grilled Shrimp Skewers at #Sizzler in Los Angeles. All natural wild-caught shrimp served with hand-cut 6oz tri-tip sirloin and a baked potato. I hate when they set-up the plate upside down, occupational hazard. I still have dessert serving skills #inthe323 #steak

It’s another manic Monday… This made it a bit easier. Emon Combo at Emon Japanese Restaurant in Burbank. With Chicken AND Beef Teriyaki, Shrimp Tempura, Rice, Salad, and Bean Sprouts. #inthe818

At #ShinSenGumi in Rosemead for a mini Spicy Tuna Bowl, that I doctored up with chili oil, rice vinegar, togarashi, and soy sauce. Yep, made it better! Of course, I had a bowl of #HakataRamen with an extra noodle. Now, I’m ready for Monday! #inthe626 #ramen

What I didn’t realize, #OrangeJulius was created in Los Angeles, just like the French Dip Sandwich, Moscow Mule, and California Roll. This signature beverage is a mixture of ice, orange juice, sweetener, milk, powdered egg whites and vanilla flavoring that was created in 1926.

It was time for a Shake… OREO® Cookie Funnel Cake Shake from SHAKE SHACK in the San Fernando Valley. Enjoying this shake on a hot afternoon. #shakeshack #inthe818

Spicy Tuna Don at Emon Japanese Restaurant in Burbank. Every time I have #SpicyTuna, I’m disappointed, as it’s either really spicy or has no flavor. This one was just ok. I need to make my own… #inthe818

It’s a Scorcher in the Valley! Had to cool off with a Yuzu Twist Lemon Tea from #PhilzCoffee. Cold brew tea and lightly sweetened lemonade with a vibrant twist of citrus Yuzu and fresh mint. Two of my favorites, #IcedTea and #Yuzu, the Japanese fragrant citrus. #inthe818

Have I Been Living Under a Rock??? My New Favorite Croissant… Cookie Croissant 🍪 🥐 from @philzcoffee in the Valley. It’s a soft cookie in a croissant, like an upgraded chocolate croissant. #croissant #cookiecroissant #inthe818

When you’re at Costco AND you want a Chili Dog… You pick-up chili from The Hat and make it home just in time to watch Max Muncy hit a home run and the @dodgers take the lead in the 4th inning. #chilidog #costcohotdog #inthe323

Cooling down in the Valley… Strawberry Shake: Real strawberry hand spun with SHAKE SHACK’s house-made vanilla frozen custard. #strawberryshake #inthe818 #shakeshack
