If you aren’t looking for
Birrieria El Tijuanazo you might miss it. But if you miss it, I’m telling you, it will be a shame.
Because this Big Birria Quesidilla was so incredible.
Definitely one of my favorite recent bites.
The birria was juicy, the cheese perfection and the consume sauce was full of flavor.
I had a hard time putting this one down. So, I didn’t!
What fantastic food.
You can find Birrieria El Tijuanazo at 479 S La Cadena Dr, Colton, CA 92324
I have so many
favorite spots all around the I.E.
But, when I come to Big Bear I never miss my chance to stop at @thecopperq .
An awesome spot that has captured my heart with their fantastic specialty coffee drinks.
And when you are in the crisp chilly air of Big Bear, what more could you want than a delicious hot drink and warm pastry?
Perfection.
I highly recommend you stop in to try it.
What is your favorite place to stop when you are in Big Bear?
Logan’s Candies holds a
special place in my heart.
Back in the days of recording Curiosity Quest, it was one of the early shows that we filmed.
It is an awesome place run by even more awesome people.
With over 8 million TikTok followers, this place is now known around the world. And deservedly so.
If you are looking for a very special, family run, authentic candy store experience, then this is your sign to check out Logans Candies.
If you are heading in for a demonstration of the candy cane making, make a reservation on their website.
And go grab a sample of an amazing warm candy cane. There’s nothing else like it.

Tell Jerry and the family “hi” for us!
This unique and beautiful winery is
Just stunning! Temecula has become one of my favorite places to visit with my wife. We love staying at the beautiful wineries and my wife loves wine tasting.
I think Europa Village is my new favorite.
It is so beautiful! The scenery is gorgeous. The bar is beautiful. The vineyards? Wow!

What place has pastrami better than The Hat
The overwhelming answer was @saverinos_deli and Market in Redlands California.
Don’t let the long line scare you off. The sandwich was ready fast and even if it wasn’t, it would have been worth the wait.
Thank you to everyone who recommended Saverino’s. I’m so happy you introduced me to this awesome deli.
I’m a huge fan and will be back.
You can find Saverino’s Italian Deli and Market at 617 W State St, Redlands, CA 92373
I have finally found one thing I have been
looking for. The Barbecue Stuffed Baked Potato.
And I had to look no further than Redlands Ranch Market’s brand new Texas Style Barbecue.
Look at this bad boy! It’s huge and completely packed with brisket and all the goodies that you want in a baked potato.
This is absolute perfection and everything I hoped it would be.
Redlands Ranch Market is an awesome store with a home town feel. When you shop there, you really do feel like family.
When customers and employees are on a first name basis, you know you are in a special place.
Now they can be your go to spot for BBQ too.
You have to get out to check this spot out and pick up one of these incredible potatoes.
You can find Redlands Ranch Market at 800 E Lugonia Avenue Redlands, CA 92374
Some places are icons in their
community. Such is the case with The Fat Greek in Yucaipa.
If you live in the area you know about it, and if you don’t you should.
@thefatgreek_yucaipa offers authentic Greek cuisine that makes me long for another trip back to Greece.
They are known for a lot of their food, but they are famous for their incredible gyros.
And I absolutely understand why.
This Philly Gyro blew me away.
The meat is so flavorful, the cheese and peppers perfect, and don’t even get me started on the fresh, homemade pita.
This is my kind of meal.
Trust me, if you haven’t tried a gyro at The Fat Greek it’s time to make a trip out.
You will not be disappointed.
You can find The Fat Greek at 33265 Yucaipa Blvd, Yucaipa, CA 92399
