Since moving up to the Bay Area on January 28th, 2009, I’ve eaten at a variety of places (to say the least). In the OC, you turn the corner and there’s yet another TGI McFunsters* in a brand new plaza (no offense, it has it’s own charm and sense of security we all need). Â Up here, turn the corner and you find a place that you’ve always wanted to go to that’s on your list of 100 places to go to before leaving the Bay Area. Â Having said that, 28 days passed before I went back to a place the 2nd time around - the “Taco Truck” on the corner of Polk and Hayes.
BTW, for those of you who have given up (good) food for Lent, I didn’t write this post to rub it in :p
