EATS AND GRINDS
Eric
recount some of the best sessions by where and what we ate afterwards.
When we used to surf Panama City, we *had* to eat at Cafe Don Jose. My
favorite was their wet burrito. When in Cocoa Beach, it's gotta be Taco
City. In NSB, it's gotta be JB's Fishcamp for a grouper sandwich ( no
relation to our favorite rougue, and this JB surfs too. During the last
tropical season he was out on his big ol board with the confederate flag
on the bottom, and wearing some eye goggles, catching many waves )
One time at Bradenton Beach, we found this killer Irish Pub for a hot
sandwich and, you guessed it...Guinness.
In Frisco ( NC ) it was the White Dove sandwich shop for their veggie
sub, and in Avon, it was that little pizza place for calzones.
Where you eat depends upon where you surf. What about you ?

Yes I do have some habits that I religeously follow whenever I surf, and
one of them is to eat.

Only surfed the west coast about a handful of times and lack of local
knowledge has left me with poor judgement in eating establishments.

I've seen this place many times and wondered, but I usually opt for
Roberto's Cuban restaurant across from the nudie bar on like 7th street
or something. When I surf the inlet though I always hit the deli in
orchid Isle/ aka wabasso
When I lived in Manhattan Beach, California in the mid eighties I was
fortunate enough to live behind the mexican restaurant that has so far
found no equal,( East of the Missippi). It was EL Tarrasco, oh man was
the food good. I wonder if the place is still there. Im getting hungry
now.
In Puerto Rico its always at the Bodega outside of Remy Airport with its
buffet.

Must check that out. I love Cuban food.
I almost forgot about Patrick's Deli at - Patricks AFB, Picnic Tables
and Second Light.
Hey, there's fodder for another thread. I just love some of the names
surfer's come up with for breaks.
Some already have names some name themselves, others come about for
other reasons, like Shark Pit ( oohhh, scary ! ) Like, there are any more
sharks there than say, Spanish House.
Here's a few local favorites:
Crossroads Blowhole The Poles The Cement Pier The Wall
The Inlet The Pier Boardwalk
etc etc etc ( hope I didn't give anything away )

In Puerto Rico, after a session in the old Ramey AFB area, its straight to
the Panaderia Borinquen, about a mile south of the west Ramey gate (near
the golf course). The Borinquen has everything (except beer) from
sandwiches (cubano, media noche, pernil, etc) to native crillo dishes. A
heaping plate of yellow rice, beans, and about 1/2 chicken cost $3.75.
Cafe is expresso with steaming milk; lots of postres and flanes to pick
from. Even after a Jobos session and eats a stop at Borinquen is a must!
In Rincon, I favor the Paradaise Restaurant for a square meal. Its
located on the corner as you leave Rincon heading south. Great lunches.
Just about any colmado or friteria has a near frozen cerveza ready to
serve.

I made a roast pork leg Puerto Rican style for New Years Day at my wife's
parent's house. The hawaiians were impressed, I love Kalua pig, but bros,
nothing compares to roast pork Puerto Rican style (the cubans put the citrus
on it which i'm not too keen on) any way, since there was a little leftovers,
i went out and bought egg bread, swiss cheese and pickles to make media noches
(sandwiches) the next day at home. Stoked!

dude, it's still there, still a staple, still can eat on the roof, still has
the trippy mural of A-frames on the side, still makes huge burritos, did you
ever try El Burrito Junior in Redondo? Definitely a rival for Tarasco...
BTW, the Tarascos were the indiginous tribe of indians from Michoacan...

And it always tastes better after a good session. Especially an Ice
cold Ceveza with my nasal drip.

Good crispy roast leg of Pork is traditional for these days in all the
greater Antilles. And forget about the cholesterol content this stuff is
what seconds and thirds are made of. BTW that sounded like a good
Midnight Sandwich you made.

Man I live in Miami and can find any kind of great latin American food,
but I can't find any decent Mexican food. El Tarrasco did me no justice.
Those burritos left me dazed after many a good session. Man Id hop
around the alley and get my fix and go back to my lazy boy and watch
sanford and son till I passed out. Now that Im on the subject of food
and LA, is the Hawaiin Hut ( if thats what it was called ) still there?
That was my favorite breakfast joint after the surf.
did you

No I'd barely venture far from home to eat, the only reason other than
surfing to head south was women chasing at the red onion

Hey, you did it up right! But, did you forget the jamon for the Media
Noche?
Christmas eve dinner was just one of the many highlights on my recent
journey back to PR--lechon asado, pasteles, arroz con gandules,
chillo al ajillo, tostones, n~ames, y mucho mas. Followed by some jugos
naturales con Ron del Barrilito (not that the juice was needed...). Serve
up some more pasteles...

Check out the following url for the Cuban style:

I prefer a little lime juice to the Cuban orange-style.
