Most types of food can be found in the towns and cities of Southern Californian-especially popular are Mexican, Chinese, Thai, Japanese, Vietnamese, Salvadoran, Korean BBQ, Indian, Pilipino, and Armenian.
Southern California is the birthplace of modern day American fast food such as McDonald's now headquartered in the Chicago metropolitan area. One should not miss out on In-N-Out Burger, which has multiple locations throughout the SoCal region. The menu is pretty straightforward, but a "secret" menu allows you to customize by ordering "animal style" fries and burgers.
For a taste of California, you can visit a farmersâ market and rub shoulders with celebrity chefs and foodie insiders picking out the finest organic produce. You can also step into sleek restaurants serving innovative, ultra-fresh California cuisine. You can taste gelato made with locally-produced chocolate and toasted hazelnuts, or handmade cheeses from local farms. Drive down a tree-lined lane to wineries in grand chateaus, or relaxed, family-run vineyards where the guy pouring and chatting in the tasting room is a world-class winemaker.
