Well it appears out of all the episodes to miss last weeks was the best one. I was able to watch it before “Lockout” started and realized I didn’t miss all that much. This episode finds us almost to the mid-way point of opi season. Captains are fighting Mother Nature and she has been taking kung fu. Continue reading

Wasting Away at Margarita Villa
Any trip to Ventura should always include a trip to the Harbor. There are a lot of restaurants to choose from, so over the next few months EatMeCalifornia will try to get you a good idea of where to go for the best views and the best food. We’ve already given you the Seafood Broiler. Now it’s time to spend some time at Margarita Villa.
Margarita Villa – Ventura Harbor
Margarita Villa is on the top deck, right above the carousel. They have one of the best views of the Harbor and a great deck to eat and enjoy the view. Like most of the restaurants in the harbor, it has the hand painted walls, lots of windows and a full bar. There are a few TVs to catch a game and they have a live band a few nights a week. On this particular night there was a band and for the most part they played cover songs. All I remember of the talent is a horrible rendition of Johnny Be Good. I hoped the food would be better then the music, because I think I saw Chuck Berry crouched in a corner, ready to hit the lead singer with his guitar. Continue reading

Old School Breakfast in Old Town Camarillo
Unfortunately, we must interrupt our regularly scheduled programming due to technical difficulties. Normally, on Tuesday nights, Mikey would be bringing you his latest recap of Deadliest Catch. However, because some vandals destroyed the cable box for his entire community, poor Mikey is instead listening to the Angels game on transistor radio and attempting to boil hotdogs on his diesel powered hotplate. Good luck with that, Mike. I got your back…
Dorothy’s Chuck Wagon Cafe – Old Town Camarillo
The reason why I decided to give this place a try was because my Mom told me to. No other reason, really. When Mom says go, I go, but it ended up making for a nice little Saturday morning.
Camarillo is not a town that I spend a lot of time in, but I might make more trips out from now on. The town boasts a nice little farmer’s market every Saturday morning and it’s right down the street from Dorothy’s Chuck Wagon Cafe.

Magical Monte Cristo at the Happiest Place on Earth
Before I get into this post, I’d like to thank everyone who reads us, for helping EatMeCalifornia get its first 10,000 visitors. Mikey and I are thankful for your support. Now, on to the review…
I spent my Sunday at Disneyland, also known as the happiest place on earth. It was an awesome day and I hadn’t been to the magic kingdom in the better part of a decade. Unfortunately, this trip wasn’t for pleasure. It was all about business. The business of sandwiches.
One of our great readers, Andy, read our review of Jack’s Deli in Westlake and recommended that I try the monte cristo sandwich at Disney’s Blue Bayou restaurant for a direct comparison. And that, my friends, is exactly what I did.
