Fellow biters, it's hard to believe that 4 years' ago, Your Next Bite launched with a little amuse-bouche.
Living in LA's constantly changing restaurant scene became my inspiration for this "delectable quest to find you the best from Fine Dining to Food Trucks". And now that OC is my main brick & mortar, it's been a spicy challenge seeking out the hidden gems of this new territory.
Just like a great meal, Your Next Bite is always evolving. It began with not one, but two weekly posts – a weekly restaurant blog plus "Food Truck Friday". Today, it's about quality, not quantity, with just the one per week and the occasional Your Next Nite special edition to transport your taste buds.
As a thank you to all you loyal biters – and to new ones gained daily – I'm serving up my Top 4 Biteries from each category: LA, OC, Food Truck, and Your Next Nite.
The Grubdown:

- "i died and went to bacon heaven" salty 'n sweet, more like me-drool, Medjool Roasted Dates Stuffed with Parmesan & Wrapped in Bacon ($6)
Juliette Kitchen & Bar in OC
- genius, healthy whole grain substitutes for arborio rice, milky smooth, soft 'n creamy, just needed a touch more cheese, Farro Risotto with Baby Squash, Trumpet Mushrooms, Swiss Chard, Tomatoes & Herbs $11

Cheers to another year of Happy Biting!
