My how that area has changed! I lived in Simpsonville back in 1983-84 and the best you could hope for was Bennigans, I think out by the Mall. I've driven past that California whatever (it faces 85, right?) and I like the look of the building - that's not necessarily a sign of fine dining, but I'm more encouraged by that than a shack with an old coondog lying on the front steps. A guilty pleasure back in those days was lunch at The Clock (#?). I made it a point never to read the health inpection column in the paper, though. I worked in a plant with a cafeteria and it was there I first tried grits (horrifying the rest of the plant by pouring maple syrup on them) and stromboli (I kid you not) which has never been surpassed by any I've eaten since.
