Mexican at Peppers, Pacific Grove, CA.

After another beautiful day of hiking at Big Sur, we drove back to SF, but made a much needed pit-stop in Pacific Grove for some tasty Mexican. :)

Smoked gouda and artichoke quesadilla! Ahh! Soooo tasty! What a wonderful combination. I've put them on sandwiches together, but I guess I just don't make quesadillas that often. It was really nice on the crispy tortilla though and I'll definitely have to try it out sometime.

Guacamole salad. I really needed a salad after all that food at Big Sur! This was just all right though. The ingredients were very fresh, but it just wasn't my favorite salad.

This restaurant is great though and I'm really glad we turned off and found it. It has an amazing list of daily specials, too! If ever driving through the coast, check it out.

Brunch at Deetjens, Big Sur, CA.

This was pretty darn good. I got half an order of eggs benedict with mushrooms, bacon and tomato. It came with a side of home fries that were pretty nice, too.

Big Sur Bakery & Restaurant, Big Sur, CA.

Greg and I got up at 5am and hit the open road. Destination: SF (me)/Seattle (Greg), with a whole lotta Bruce Springsteen and Big Sur. :)

Big Sur is gorgeous.

We were hungry and needed gas so we pulled in and found what I'm sure is the best bakery & restaurant in Big Sur. :)

Best ham & cheese croissant (left) I've ever had. Everything else looked amazing, too. I only wish it were as easy as hoppin' in a car and driving down there. ;)

If you're ever driving up or down the coast, stop and eat here! You can thank me later. ;)
