Julie and Lisa own an RV similar to the View we used to own. We are blog and forum friends who actually managed to meet face to face once in Virginia. They live in California. When Julie read that we were headed up I-5 to Oakland, California, she sent me an email recommending we stop for lunch at Andersen’s in Santa Nella. Now these two people know good food so we took their recommendation after checking Google maps to be sure we’d be able to park our RV there. No problem.
Only this far from our RV to the restaurant.
Andersen’s with -sen not -son. That means it’s probably Danish. I learned that from our former neighbor. (Hi, Karen.) So I wasn’t surprised to see this sign out front.
These two characters are Hap-pea and Pea-wee. They are splitting peas for Andersen’s famous split pea soup.
Julie recommended the split pea soup, fried chicken, burgers, and milk shakes. So Dave had a French dip with potato salad and I had a California grilled chicken sandwich with a fruit cup and we both drank Diet Pepsi. Hey, isn’t it enough that we stopped at their recommended restaurant?
In case you are wondering a California grilled chicken sandwich is a BLT on a bun with a chicken breast, cheese, and avocado plus Ranch dip. The fruit cup was mostly melons which I don’t eat so I had a few grapes and a piece of pineapple then Dave added my melon alongside his potato salad to his lunch. So, for a change I ate all my sandwich and Dave brought home half of his.
We ate too fast to remember to take pictures of the food but here’s a couple more treats they offered.
The gift shop.
And the bake shop.
I was too busy taking pictures to think to buy something from those baked goods cases. Dumb!
TTYL,

Too busy taking pictures to buy some of those wonderful baked goods? I’m not too sure about your priorities.You really need to work on that.
Glad you stopped but NEXT time you must try a milkshake. Tastes like childhood….
How good was the Pea Soup?
