California Food

Oh my gosh, we ate and ate along with drinking great micro brews and that great California wine all over Northern Calif. At my age and having the great world of menopause eating to much puts more weight on then I need. It just means coming home I have to work out double time.
                        Ughhh...but it was worth it! *grin*

                                      Red's Java House
                                          San Fransisco


1st stop Reds' Java House
It is right under the Bay Bridge, technically not but as you can see it is close.
Red's has been on the Travel Channel with Andrew B.
We sampled different beers and had appetizers.
Oh my word the line was long and it was around 2 in the afternoon there. Their sandwiches looked amazing.
But we held off because we were going to another place for dinner, but the snacks were awesome. A small go to place and reasonable right on the water.
Great way to start our V-Cay.

2nd Place
Fairfax Brewery
Fairfax

Another great spot was Fairfax Brewery in Fairfax.
1st If I would pick a place in Callie this would be my type of town.
 Youthful, friendly, active, animal town.
LOVED IT!!

FOOD:

One of the boys had their corn beef on rye...delish!
I had the Fresh dip....A++
Other son with the face had a pulled pork sandwich...wonderful!
He looked like a pit bull daring anyone to touch his goodies.
Hubby had his typical "I will not eat anything but a hamburger med with fries. No there was nothing special about that burger.
It is  brew house and the beers were beyond wonderful after a long day of hiking.
Another go to place if you visit there


Another great place
The Q BBQ Joint
in Fort Bragg




Wonderful place. Again we felt right at home. We all tried something different to share. None of us were dissapointed.
God love families we all picked at each others plates.
The ribs were crazy good. But the Brisket was out of this world. The chicken was mouth watering and moist with a touch of smoky BBQ. Their pulled pork was moist just the right amount of sauce.
Sides were off the charts, mac and cheese, beans, corn bread an more.
Their homemade sauces? No words to describe all the flavor that came from the different sauces at the table.
The smoky flavor came through perfectly ...my mouth is watering just writing this.
Not a fancy place but a very relaxing one. The staff were great so friendly and helpful. They had a small selection of beer but a wonderful variety.
Next time I want to try their Oysters and shrimp and salad and and and...so much to choose from.
Not a big place but very down to earth home like feel to it.


Sorry folks gotta make supper in our 96 degree weather in Wisconsin. Thank God for air conditioning in my office on days like this.

Cheers,
Shel
