How come we don't have an official SoCal grub/food thread? We have so many bomb food/restaurants out here, this thread is so necessary.

NorCal's is very useful, I look into it whenever I head up north to try new spots, so let's start one up for SoCal.

I love food. I especially enjoy eating good food. Eating is a hobby of mine.

Let's get this thing started

I grew up in LA, but I now live in San Diego, so I will start w/Phil's BBQ in Daygo cuz I tried it for the first time when I moved out here late last year, and now I grub their pretty frequently.
Must try's:

el toro (tri-tip sandwich)

pulled pork sandwich

beefy ribs

baby bacc ribs

onion rings (best I ever had)

Their side menu is pretty wacc other than the onion rings. They don't have mashed potatoes or mac n cheese. How u not have either one of those at a BBQ joint? They need to add both of those or at least one of them to their menu. Regardless, this place is a must try.

OMG FRESH!!!!

My first time eating real vietnamese food. Here in Hawaii we only have pretenders...... This is at Brodards restaurant in little Saigon on Westminster.

I could've already guessed Brodards based on those pics before I even saw what you typed.
