My wife and I found a new organic produce stand today at the corner of McAllister and Blackburn in Riverside. We didn’t have any cash with us, but my wife wanted to check it out. As a dutiful husband, I agreed. Happy wife. Happy life. We spent some time talking to the guys who run […]
Food
The Crack Shack – Costa Mesa
I haven’t written about a restaurant in a long time, but my sons and I tried a place on our way home from the beach over the weekend that deserves a mention… The Crack Shack in Costa Mesa. If you haven’t eaten here, you might be wondering what kind of food you’ll find… We’ve intentionally […]
Smoking Pig BBQ – 4th Street, San Jose, CA
I wasn’t going to write about this restaurant since it is about 400 miles away from Riverside, but recent Instagram posts from this place changed my mind. Now it is on my brain. Smoking Pig BBQ Company on 4th Street in San Jose, California served me the best brisket I have ever eaten. This is […]
The Habit Burger Grill on Tyler in Riverside
The Habit Burger Grill on Tyler in the City of Riverside, California has been open for just about a year, but it has recently become one of my family’s favorite places to eat. If it weren’t for my oldest son, I might not have tried it. A few months ago, after a long day of water […]

Baja Fish Tacos – Norco
Last summer during a break in a water polo tournament, my oldest son and I found this great Mexican food place in Foothill Ranch. He loved the fish tacos, I loved the carne asada nachos, and we both wanted to try it again someday. Unfortunately, the next time we were out in that area I […]

The Hat, Glendora
Water polo often takes us out to Citrus College in Glendora. The Hat on Route 66 is our usual post-tournament meal. If you’re familiar with The Hat in Rancho Cucamonga, Murrieta or any of the other Southern California locations, then you know what this place is all about: Pastrami. Pastrami on chili cheese fries… Pastrami […]
