Steakhouse in Santa Maria, CA
I visited a great steakhouse with Catman and others last year but can't remember the name of the restaurant. Any help available as I have a corporate meeting at the Cliff's Resort in Pismo Beach on June 30th and July 1st and 2nd driving home on the 3rd in the a.m. Also if anyone is in the area any of those nights let me know as a drink and cigars always sounds great to me.

Since this is my old stomping ground, I'm guessing Jocko's in Nipomo, the Far Western in Guadalupe, or the Hitching Post(s) in Buellton and Casmalia. None of them are actually in Santa Maria, but all of them are in the area.

Best Salsa
Jockos Steak House
125 N. Thompson Ave., Nipomo
Although Jockos is mostly known for its Santa Maria-style barbecue (which it also won first place kudos for in our poll), its salsa is just as popularmaybe partly because it is so difficult to reproduce. The owner and employees at Jockos wont reveal their secret for the tangy and slightly spicy, yet not piquant, sauce. They wont give out their recipe, nor give out the exact ingredients.
But they will let you know the best way to eat the salsaon steaks or on their famous beans.
As chef Eddie Plemmons explains: "Jocko's was the first to use pinquitos, when a Nipomo farmer sold the ones he produced to the restaurant. They became known as Jocko beans." The small pink beans are prepared according to the same family recipe Jocko's sons, Fred and George, used when they founded the current Jocko's restaurant in 1962.
Even without the "pinquitos," Jockos salsa will wake up your tastebuds, without overwhelming them.</font>

Thanks for the quick response Jocko's it was. I'll post when the time gets closer to see if anyone is up that way during the timeframe.

Brother Scott... I have fond memories of Jockos with Baze, Newself, Larry U and Lisamagu... and MileCrazy on another trip.
If we can do it on a Saturday/Weekend I Could be tempted to be route myself to LA way.

Catman any word on when or if Red Green is doing another season? We've got to get together again soon, I think the Duke of Argyle is calling us.

Brother Red is annoucing soon if he's doing season 13. I am hopeful.

Paging Brothers Newself, Mr. Limo, Baze, Larry U, etc ...
