One thing our family has always enjoyed is . . . well . . . good food! And with all the stress of the fire, having good food was, indeed, therapeutic. We had heard great things about this relatively new restaurant in Buellton (only 15 minutes away) called 'Industrial Eats.'
We headed there for lunch on Tuesday, December 12th. The word on the fire back in Santa Barbara was that the firefighters were starting to get the upper hand and the winds were calm. On Tuesday, it seemed like we might be able to go home in a day or two.
Industrial Eats is, not surprisingly, located in an industrial area of Buellton, right off of Highway 246. The menu is scratched up on the wall and on small placards all around the cash register. You order your food at the counter and then they bring it to you. Bryce, Susan and I and our dog, Spike, arrived hungry as we had gone to the gym and had not eaten breakfast.
We ordered a special smoked turkey and arugula sandwich, Quail Eggs and Caviar with toast, and a Caesar salad. All three were incredibly good. It's not the most comfortable environment to sit in, but the food is so incredibly tasty that you really don't care!
We ended up eating at this place (I'm embarrassed to say) THREE times. Seems a bit decadent now, but it was therapeutic.
The next time we went, I got a few shots of the dishes we ordered, which included raw yellowtail with avocado and Pot Au Fueu:
