If you live in So Cal you may have experienced Captain Jack's Restaurant in the OC, it's one of my favorites at the beach.  Sunset Beach is a small oceanfront community in Orange County, between Huntington Beach (Surf City USA) and Seal Beach.
It's one of those places that's known not only for great food, but as you can see on the right it's also about big food! This is a regular cut prime rib, on their menu. Can you even imagine tackling something this size? It's about two pounds!
A couple of nights ago we celebrated a birthday at Captain Jack's, it … (40 comments)

Brea's downtown area on Birch Street is well known for eateries, fine dining and great eats. The Carvao Grill a South American steakhouse is one of my personal favorites.  My last trip was for lunch a few weeks ago on what I call "earthquake day", July 29.

Then I received a cell call from fellow Rainer Marlene Bridges making sure things were good in Brea, it felt like we were sitting on top the epicenter although it … (17 comments)
