Need some suggestions (breakfast, Italian, Mexican) for Irvine..if there are any..Laguna Beach and up to Newport, HB, LB, Redondo, Santa Monica. Yes, that's a big area but we often find ourselves around those parts and haven't had much luck with food choices so far.
Well, if you're looking for Asian, only place to go would be Jamboree and Alton. Great strip center with CoCo's Curry, authentic conveyor belt sushi, Pho, Ramen shop, and Asian market (H-Mart).
Sorry, can't help you on the others...

Yeah, we lived just a few blocks away when we first moved here. That place is insane when it comes to finding a parking place..especially at lunch!
We were down your way at Zoomar last weekend BTW and went watching at Dana Point Wharf.
Tacos Por Favor on Olympic in Santa Monica.
Taco Asylum in Coasta Mesa is really good
in SaMo..
Wurstkutche
Venice Beach Wines (BIG SoCal DMC supporter) which is a restaurant and wine bar..
Oscars Cerveteca.... next door to V>B Wines
Lemonade (name of the joint) is kick Ass !!

Thanks for the suggestions. Trying Taco Asylum tomorrow.
We drove by Lemonade last weekend. We'll have to try it Sat. We're going back up to SaMo for the Farmer's Market we saw in/near Venice Beach.
Any recommendations for Farmer's Market's BTW? We typically go to the one here at UC-Irvine.

It's in his contract.

Reel inn on the corner of to panga Canyon and PCH just entering Malibu from SM.
Reel Inn is good eats[thumbsup]
I have no FHE with the Farmers Market but i'm sure someone will chime in from the West Side soon
Great..thanks again all!
We went up to The Camp on Thurs night. The wife isn't that adventurous with food selections though so I'll have to go back to Taco Asylum myself. That whole place is very cool though! I wasn't expecting all that.
Stopped by Lemonade after we left Santa Monica last night but it was packed already and it wasn't a wait we could handle with a tired 2 year old.
NAKID..yes, we moved after corporate housing was up after 3 months.
Are you referring to the Farmers Market on 3rd and Fairfax?

Maybe?
If so, there's a Cajun place in there that's pretty good.
I'll check it out. Probably heading back up that way tomorrow.
Since someone mentioned Cajun, I'm going through BBQ into the mix. Not sure if Venice is a possible stop, but you mentioned Santa Monica which is close enough:
Baby Blue BBQ. Forget the fact that it is 2000-3000 miles from Memphis, Texas, NC, etc---it is some good BBQ.
I moved here from Austin. Craving some good BBQ. I'll give it a try. Possibly this weekend. I have to go up to El Segundo Sat.
Nice. Let me know how you like it. Curious how it tastes to an experienced tongue.
I hear Jay bee's bbq in Gardena is good... I think it was on DDD- Guy Fiere show not long ago
tulsa rib in orange is good bbq
went to baja cantina in marina del rey a couple months ago and it was pretty good.
went to Don the Beachcomber back in the summer for a friend's birthday and i thought it was pretty good
