Food in the OC x GIMBIC = extra lbs.

What have I been up to? Eating.

I just want to give you a quick recap of what foodtography I had saved up on my cell phone. Picture quality is crappy. My deepest apologies.



Niberino's Meatball Sandwich in Anaheim is worthy of its own post, and it might receive one eventually, but for now I needed to expose you to this gem.

Looks like your typical liquor store on Ball and Sunkist on the border of Orange and Anaheim. Walk in, make a right to the back and order a Meatball Sub. Thank me later.



Super Teriyaki Bowl on State College and Ball. One block down from Nib's stands an odd looking building that serves up delicious chicken bowls. Good textures with the crunchy cabbage on top. Top notch service.



Who's that? Leonardo. Gumball eyeballs always take it to the next level for me.





Two Brother Pizza on Warner and Goldenwest in Huntington Beach. I rarely order cheese pizza, but they make theirs so good. It is almost like their tables and plates match their slice. You gotta coordinate... (Boomerang reference)



That looks like a Club Sandwich with friend zucchinis on the side. Has to be Hot Off the Grill in HB on Bolsa Chica and Heil. It's hard to find good zuchinni strips anywhere, but Hot Off the Grill's will make you do backflips. Also have to try their pastrami sando.

Don't forget... it's snowboarding season. Here's a shot from last year of Mount Baldy.



Have a great winter...

Warehouse Pizza in La Verne

Call me a Pizza Princess. I like my pizza a particular way. Crust has to be light, salty and crisp..... complimenting the actually slice.



Sauce needs to tangy, sweet, with a little bit of zip. Even the color of the sauce is important to me. I like that Angels red. Makes it taste better.



I need my pepperonis to be done just right. Slightly curled and blackened around the edges. The pepperonis should almost take on a bowl shape with a little pool of grease in the middle (yuck!/ yum!)



This is Warehouse Pizza in La Verne, CA. Some of the best pizza I have come across in a long time.



The slices were almost juicy, and that's a good thing.



If you're ever out in the area hit up this local pizza spot. It's in the San Bernadino/ Raging Waters/ 57/ 10/ 210 area.



We were out snowboarding at Mount Baldy for the day and needed a quick fix.

Great recommendation!!

Warehouse Pizza

Surf City x Pizza x Detroit Bar x Alejandro's x Collossal KNXN =...

Saturday Night, December 5th, 2009. Recap. First up, dinner time. Time for a slice at Surf City Pizza. I wrote a review of it here. They know me here by name. We chat for a few minutes while the slices are in the oven. Friendly service, but do not order delivery. It could take up to two hours.




The slices are perfect, but the interior of Surf City Pizza is what takes it to the next level. Surfboards, pictures of waves, vintage pictures of Huntington Beach... basically anything to do with Surfing or Surf City, HB.





Highly recommended for a slice or a pie to pick up. I love the crust. It's slightly salty and crispy, which I like. All I really get there is the pizza, so I cannot really comment on much else on their menu. Their buffalo wings are okay.

Next up, Detroit Bar in Costa Mesa. Colossal KNXN were spinning and boy oh boy, did they kill it! They played all the hits; old school, new school, house, hip hop, motown, everything. I was very pleased and impressed with the DJs and the crowd. Friendly , good looking people out for a good time.



I was drinking Amstel Lights and finishing up my boy's shots of Patron. Detroit is always a cool if you bring a positive attitude and know how to have a good time.



Last stop, Alejandro's right in the same parking lot as Detroit. As you can see, I judge a Mexican spot by their carne asada burrito. Alejandro's did not disappoint. Their carne asada is perfection in a tortilla. While their salsa is not what I would call top notch, their burrito was exactly what I desired at 1AM. It was hard to get a picture of my food, but trust me, it was delicious. The tacos also looked scrumptious.







Made it home safe and sound. Good times, good food, good music...

Village Pizza in Big Bear..

Snowboarding season in Southern California is over, but whenever I head up to Big Bear I love to stop at Village Pizza and grab a large pepperoni to help me unwind from a long day of carving up the mountain.

There is something different about this pizza that makes it delicious. Maybe it is the fact that is prepared on top of a mountain. Maybe it is the fact that I am so starving from snowboarding that I devour the pizza like a T-rex. Whatever it is, Village Pizza kicks ass.



I have been there probably four or five times, and everytime it does not disappoint. The key to a good pizza is getting those pepperonis nice and crispy. These guys get it.

House of Brews...

House of Brews in Huntington Beach. I am a Buffalo Wing expert. I try Buffalo Wings everywhere I go. I will have Buffalo Wings for breakfast.

With that being said, these are without a doubt the best wings I have ever had. Feel free to disagree. But please try them first and then tell me a better place.

Best Buffalo Wings ever.

Their Meatball Pizza is also incredible. Beer is always cold. The game is always on. Their fries are also top notch. You can rely on good service there as well.

Pizza Shack

Pizza Shack is one of the greatest slices of pizza you can get in Orange County. I have been going here since before the remodel and i love it. All my friends used to make fun of me for going in here everyday until they tried it. Now they love it, too.

They have all the best video games, their food is incredible and their service is top notch. You won't see more interesting characters anywhere else in the world.

Pizza D'Oro

Pizza D'Oro has one of the best and biggest slice of pizza I have seen in a long time. I have a friend coming in from Sacramento just for a slice. I took a picture of it and put it up on my website and this person has lost their mind in search of this slice.

Surf City Pizza - Huntington Beach

Down there on Bolsa Chica and Heil. Love this pizza. Has the best crust. Nice and salty and different than most places. But damn man, this place seems like it is never open. I would love to go in and get a slice at like 1 pm on a Tuesday or Sunday afternoon or 3 pm or Monday Night Football and it never seems open. Love it there though...
