SoCal Food/Grub Thread

[Fozz]

Depends how much you are trying to spend for the AYCE. Personally I see little to no difference between the $50 and the $15 spots. Also where are you from? I don't want to send you somewhere you're going to be scared at lol

Milk is good, nothing great IMO:

And Anaheim is a cool drive from LA btw, specially if you catch traffic (which you will

)

Thanks for the insight! Yeah, I know I'll be hitting traffic everywhere I go. I'll be hitting up Long Beach and maybe even Ontario/Moreno Valley. So I'm preparing myself for the commute lol.

I'm from Sacramento...I'm used to the rough areas out here, but I'm sure LA and SoCal have places that I should probably avoid. lol.
