Burgers, fries and the best milkshake I've had since leaving the Midwest. All overlooking the ocean. This is a family favorite.

Delicious. Classy. Great for dates and business meetings. Highly recommend the Chef Selection, the flat noodles and the spring rolls.

Trader Joes is my favorite grocery store, but it's not a big-chain store. If you're looking for a certain brand of tomato sauce, you'll want to go elsewhere. If you're looking for some of the best produce and frozen/pre-made meals, you're in luck. Find the hidden Anteater stuffed animal, and get a prize.
