Love this, I find it incredibly inspiring! I hope to expand into other avenues and this is certainly getting my brain juices flowing. I will say that I have never been to the West Coast. The closest spot has been Vegas, but I am adding this to my list of places to grab a bite if we ever get a chance. Thanks for the tag and the hunger!
