In L.A., eat some of the best Korean barbecue in the United States, tasting pitch-perfect Waygu beef (grilled tableside, of course) and savory kimchi pancakes - all at a no-frills restaurant in a strip mall.įor those that love nightlife, sleek bars along the route serve inventive cocktails made using ingredients like clarified lime and pandan. Further south, just outside of Santa Barbara, nosh on fish tacos, bao buns, and fried cauliflower. That's about the best roadside attraction there is.įor posh eaters, a restaurant along Big Sur offers a $75 prix fixe lunch menu and, perhaps more notably, what could be one of the most beautiful views on the planet. From the viewing platform, you can watch them all flop around in the sand. For animal lovers there's the Elephant Seal Rookery at San Piedras Beach in San Simeon, where more than 15,000 elephant seals migrate every year. And, of course, there are plenty of restaurants (Korean barbecue!), beaches ( Santa Barbara!), and attractions (the Henry Miller Memorial Library!) along the way.
