California Que . Located at the entrance of Alila Ventana, Big Sur Smokehouse is a convenient and resort guest and public accessible stop in beautiful Big Sur . Serving an array of classic barbecue choices like smoked brisket, ribs, pulled pork, smoked chicken and more . The smoke from the smoker can be seen along Highway 1 and the aroma of BBQ greets you once you enter . We sampled an assortment of smoked meats and sides and while it ain’t Texas ‘Q (is anything in Cali?), the modest portions hit the spot, especially the ribs . 📷 Meat Plate $30 ~ St. Louis Ribs, Five Cheese Mac N’ Cheese, Cider Coleslaw / Smoked Brisket, Five Cheese Mac N’ Cheese, Collard Greens with Hamhock / Tri Tip $22 / Seasonal Cobbler $8 / Bread Pudding $8 . 📍Big Sur Smokehouse (Big Sur, CA) . #eatersf #bigsur #california #meat #barbeque #bbq #smokedmeats #topcitybites #sffoodie #foodie #nomnom #feed feed #eeeeeats #foodpics #foodgasm #dailyfoodfeed #foodphotography #eatnorthamerica #foodsharinggroup (at Big Sur Smokehouse) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj4BCOAv9nv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Favorite Lunch 💯 . I don’t get a chance to eat weekday lunch often but this is still my favorite weekday lunch . 📷 Oyakodon Tray $19 ~ miso soup, salad, small side dishes and runny chicken and egg rice . Sumika’s sister restaurant Orenchi ramen will be soon opening another branch at nearby State Street Market (former Bao Bei space) . 📍 Sumika (Los Altos, CA) . #losaltoseats #japanesefood #lunch #donburi #chickenandegg #eatersf #feedfeed #topfoodnews #topcitybites #foodsharinggroup (at Sumika Grill) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqL7vnmPfgi/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Food Delivery 💯 . There’s no question that food and restaurant prices are rising with the rest of the economy . Whether due to shortages (eggs, anyone?), higher wages or simply inflation, it’s always nice to find a more economical way to eat more food . I’ve been a long time Foodie Earth (thanks to @siliconvalleyfoodie for the long ago red) and it makes even more sense now . By focusing on select restaurants each day and each meal, they lower delivery costs compared to DoorDash and Uber Eats . I also love their restaurant selection that focuses on both high quality, trending and ethnic restaurants . I’m not sure I’d order sushi from another delivery service but Rantei is stellar (and not available on most delivery apps) and I’d order any day . 📷 Chirashi Don Deluxe Combination $42.95 / Omakase Nigiri 8 piece Chef’s selection $42.95 . 📍Rantei (Santa Clara, CA) . #santaclaraeats #seafood #sushi #nigiri #japanesefood #chirashi #eatersf #topcitybites #sffoodie #foodie #foodpics #foodgasm #dailyfoodfeed #foodphotography #foodsharinggroup (at Rantei Japanese Cuisine) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoYdsQTvd6h/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Desert Sushi 💯 . Out in the Palm Desert, I did not have the highest expectations having visited the area previously . Musashi exceeds expectations and with a low-key dining room full with diners who appreciate and acknowledge quality sushi, delivers a great meal . The menu is broad without being excessive and everything we ordered hit the spot . The nigiri menu changes daily and though they were out of a few popular items like aji, the selection is indication enough of the authenticity . I also liked the sake selection and we enjoyed a quality Junmai Daiginjo in Kabuto . 📷 Seaweed Salad $9 / Tuna Carpaccio $31 / Hotategi ~ Scallop Nigiri / Saba $7.95 ~ Mackerel / Anago $9.5 ~ seawater eel / Ikura ~ salmon roll . 📍Musashi (Palm Desert, CA) . #palmspringseats #dinner #sushi #nigiri #palmdesert #eaterpalmsprings #topcitybites #sffoodie #foodie #foodpics #foodgasm #dailyfoodfeed #foodphotography #foodsharinggroup (at Palm Desert, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnfJX1Evy8S/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
