Traffic mitigation strategies. What are some of yours? One of mine is just temporarily surrendering, pulling off the stinking freeway 😡, and finding literally anything else to do for a spell.
Therefore, all that I really asked of Yellow Belly was to be my sanity break from that parking lot formerly known as U.S. Highway 101.
Well they ended up being far more than that! Their “Buttermilk Fried Chicken Sandwich” was crispy and delicious! Although I was satisfied with the portion I was provided, I seriously wanted another one. Not because I was left wanting, but because I just wanted that dining experience to continue.
Their “Fig + Goat + Bacon Burger” was also outstanding. The figs and goat cheese provided a sweet and savory combo that matched the saltiness of the bacon wonderfully.
Their dining environment is on the minimalist side of the spectrum, but they offer fairly substantial outdoor dining opportunities.
There is absolutely no way that I could fail to mention the typewriter found in the restroom (multitasking anyone?). That is just the right about of quirkiness to appeal to me and engage my imagination. (And for those who may be wondering, that is NOT where this post was written. 😉)
I really enjoyed the 70’s Funk and Soul they were dishing out during our visit. 🎷🎶
The next time I’m visiting Santa Barbara it won’t take another California traffic jam to get me in here.
And that’s…Henry’s Take.
