Avila's El Ranchito · Santa Ana, USA: Avila's el ranchito is sort of a little "if you're sick" spot for people in south OC. The food there is absurdly good but they have a soup that will literally cure your ailment it's insane.
Twenty Eight Restaurant and Bar · Irvine, USA: - Twenty eight is this weirdly incredible steakhouse located right next to a GOOGLE building center. It has no right to be as delicious as it is and is often the go to place after Warhammer tournaments me and my friends attend as a celebration.
Hidden Fish · San Diego, USA: - Hidden Fish is the best sushi I have had period, anywhere, ever. I have not been to Japan, but people who HAVE been to Japan tell me it's better. I don't know how they do it, it's divine.
Bricco · Boston, USA: - Bricco is not just cause of the name. It's a fantastic italian spot in Boston that I go to when I'm there for PAX and has the best espresso martini I have had in my life. Pumpkin ravioli holy moly.
