179 E 17th St, Ste A, Costa Mesa, CA 92627 (map)

"I hit up this place with my girlfriend whenever we can. It?s small and kind of hidden from the street, but it's almost always packed and has been there forever. They make really good skillets and omelettes (duh) and the prices are pretty good, too. I like breakfast."

550 N El Camino Real, San Clemente, CA 92672 (map)

"My friend Pat told me he can basically live off Pedro's, and only spend five bucks a day. It's small and has outdoor seating (San Clemente is a nice place for outdoor dining) and they have all different kinds of tacos and stuff. I like the potato tacos a lot (good for veggies and vegans). Plus, it's right by the Rainbow Factory, so afterwards you can get the best sandals in the world for cheap."

817 Bloomfield Ave, West Caldwell, NJ 07006 (map)

"My friend Matt took me here a few times. It's right by his house and they make these amazing chocolate-chip pancakes where the chocolate is all warm and melty and delicious. They give you a lot of food, too, so it's pretty easy to fill up. I like the banana pancakes, too. Bananas are good for you."

211 E Sixth St, Austin, TX 78701 (map)

"The one by Sixth Street, not the other one. It?s hard to find good Mexican food outside of Southern California, but this place has literally the best fish tacos I?ve ever had in my life, outside of Mexico. I can put down six of these things, no problem. A must-have whenever we're in Austin. Good for when you have a break in the day during South by Southwest."

501 Main St Ste D, Huntington Beach, CA 92648 (map)

"It's the kind of place I can eat almost every day. I'm pretty much always in the mood for a spectacular avocado sandwich. Get a smoothie, a sandwich, some Have'A chips, wheee!"

14370 Culver Dr Ste 2, Irvine, CA 92604 (map)

"Awesome vegan place featuring Victor, the owner, who rules. He'll tell you about how he has four-generation vegan power and shake your hand. But that's not really its selling point, the BBQ chicken with sweet sauce is, and the fried banana wonton with coconut ice cream."

2937 Bristol St, Costa Mesa, CA 92626 (map)

"All vegan and all incredible! Everything on the menu rules. I can't help but get the chicken-run ranch burger most every time, though. The iced tea is to die for."

197 2nd Ave N, St Petersburg, FL 33701 (map)

"A classier Mongolian BBQ than you usually see. There?s every veggie/bean/tofu (and meat) you could want and like 20 crazy sauces. You grab your stuff and they cook it up for you and you get a bunch of rice and tortillas for the table so you can eat it any way you want. And it?s all-you-can-eat, so you can try a few different angles on your ingredient/sauce dynamics."

507 S 6th St, Philadelphia, PA 19147 (map)

"Vegan cheese steaks that are, like, kind of gnarly like a real Philly cheese steak. And the dessert window is insane. Get a Gianna?s Grille special and then a few desserts for later when you can handle it."

2413 S Walker Ave, San Pedro, CA 90731 (map)

"This place is, by far, the best sandwich place I have ever been too... Hands down."

21141 Hawthorne Blvd, Torrance, CA 90503 (map)

"Awesome Mexican food!"

24631 Crenshaw Blvd, Torrance, CA 90505 (map)

"Great burritos!"

400 South St, Philadelphia, PA 19147 (map)

"The one, the only."

1731 Superior Ave, Costa Mesa, CA 92627 (map)

"This is probably the place that Chipotle and El Pollo Loco ripped off. Super Pollo is a little hole-in-the-wall chicken place that tastes about 10 million times better than El Pollo Loco and serves huge burritos like Chipotle. The only difference is Super Pollo did it first and they do it better. Plus ? Second Spin is also within walking distance ?"

418 17th St, Huntington Beach, CA 92648 (map)

"Fiesta Grill rules mainly because of the dude, Carlos, who works there all the time. But ? the food is awesome, they have goooood horchata and it's ? right up the street from where I like to body surf. So it?s basically like go eat a burrito and then go get barreled all within about a 150 yards of each other."

1312 Main St, Lordsburg, NM 88045 (map)

"Aww, Pizza King, I will never forget thee. It's basically an oasis in the desert. As any touring band knows, there isn't a whole lot of anything in New Mexico, except for tons of firework stands and moccasins. Then, out of nowhere, comes Lordsburg, this small town, so small you could miss it in the blink of an eye. And in Lordsburg is this little place? I'll be honest, there?s nothing really that great about it, but when you have been driving for six hours and all you?ve eaten is gas-station food, Pizza King is looking pretty good. Plus, they have a 25-cent machine (which we have totally emptied twice) that dispenses rings that blink different colors. So, rings, pizza, in a desert--it?s a pretty good deal."
