A few minutes farther on, in Santa Ynez, the Longhorn. Great local vibe and traditional b'fast. No Kitsch. Try the linguisa. About 3 minutes off 154 X 246.
Might want to post this request on the California board as it is appropriate to all areas of California not called LA or SF. ps - wait until you get to Solvang!
thanks for the suggestion...curious what you know about Swinging Door. I tried booking them for a catering event and they just couldn't seem to get it together. I'm bummed they're gone.
