🌮 What I Ate During Two Weeks in Santa Barbara 😋

📍 Loquita – Famous spot, requires reservations! 🐙 Loved everything we ordered, especially the grilled octopus with insanely good mashed potatoes underneath. Plus, our super friendly Spanish-accented waiter made great recommendations and even tried remembering our names! 👏🇪🇸 📍 Funk Zone Eateries – Tried a few places recommended by a local guide (names forgotten 😅), but wasn’t a big fan of the fried-heavy options. Maybe you’ll have better luck! 🍤 📍 IN-N-OUT – Went with the classic hamburger 🍔! The bun was soft and fresh. Lightly seasoned and not greasy — plus so affordable compared to other burger chains! 📍 Magee's Kitchen at LA Farmers Market – Tried the popular "DOWNTOWN" hot dog 🌭! Huge, loaded with toppings, and the smell alone drew us in from far away. 📍 Butterbeer Icee at Universal Studios Hollywood – Super sweet and not much beer flavor 🍻, but chugged it anyway ’cause it was crazy hot and sunny that day! ☀️❄️ 📍 Blenders in the Grass – SB’s local smoothie chain! 🍍 Tried the Red Pineapple – refreshing and not too sweet. Perfect SB thirst quencher! 📍 Homemade feast with Korean friends! 🥘🫶 We braved the kitchen and succeeded! Made delicious meals with grocery ingredients — including these pink-yellow cherries I’d never seen back home. So juicy and sweet! 🍒 #SantaBarbaraEats #FoodieDiary #StudyAbroadLife #CaliforniaCuisine #EatLikeALocal #FoodSavesTheDay #SBFood
