I agree with Santa Cruz Diner, awesome food, even their pho is good.
Central Texas BBQ is the best. My wife works next door at the Girl Scout Office, so she brings home takeout often.
Don Elkins owns it and I was talking with him a couple weeks ago. People are just not eatiing BBQ like they used to, so he's worried about keeping the restaurant opened.
If anybody is traveling south on 1, take 183 into Castroville and buy some BBQ from Don. His shops on the right side in town..

Hi Yakers:
I do Kipper Skacks and Beers on the Bench by Bayside Marine. :smt005 I have also been to "The Crows Nest" south of Bayside Marine for Ahi and Salad bar which was good for the price and a great view. Sea-ya Ernie

I haven't tried their Pho? yet, because I am so picky about it :smt003 In '01 a co-worker of mine introduced me to Pho, and being Vietnamese he took me under his wing to teach me all about good to great Pho. My very favorite is a recipe he gave me which I make at home with Ox tails (yummm). Have it around 2-3 times per week, and have at least twice had it 5 days in a row for lunch.

So, how does one distinguish between good and great Pho?
Kind of like on the cooking shows where they say something like '... be sure to use a good quality olive oil". What exactly does that mean?
