everywhere I ate on my cali road trip

must eats in san fran, big sur, santa barbara + joshua tree

So I’m finally back from my big ‘ol California road trip, and while it was the greatest of times - on day 9 I was kind of about to lose it if I had to eat one more meal out. Iykyk.

BUT one good thing came from that, because I did the work. And by work I mean I ate 7 meals a day to fit in everything I wanted to try. And I’m really excited to bring you this concise itinerary because everyone is always asking me for food recommendations and I end up sending scattered links and paragraphs of what to order lol.

I couldn’t get to everything everyone recommended me on my IG story so I also made a google doc (linked at the end) with the most popular suggestions for each city as well! I feel like this could turn into something fun where we you guys can write in and we can have a master sheet for pre-vetted food spots!??! Sounds like my dream. Lmk if that sounds interesting.

I’m also going to start rolling out all of the food “guides” I have for Mexico City, NYC, Lisbon + more soon! In this guide I linked each spot’s name to it’s Google Map location so you can easily save.

but before we continue:

Terms and Conditions: I, Baby Tamago am not responsible for any changes in quality or consistency of the meals I have recommended. I also will not be held liable for dissatisfaction of any meal that could stem from a multitude of reasons such as but not limited to: cost, personal preferences, taste, wait times or external conditions outside of my control. I have only tried certain items from each establishment and cannot promise the same level of satisfaction across every dish on the menu. However, if you did enjoy a meal I recommended you are entitled by law to tell me so I can feel good about myself.

Dramatic, but necessary because I hate giving recommendations and hyping up a spot and then it turns to shit <3
