TAHOE
FAVORITES!
South Lake Tahoe,
Ca. is my old home and stomping ground. In fact, it is the only place
I have ever lived that truly felt like home, with a near perfect
climate and very friendly people. The tourists occasionaly get annoying,
but they are a tolerable annoyance in order to live in such a wonderful
place. Here's some of my favorite places-to-eat/things-to-do/whatever
in or around South Lake Tahoe. Maybe it'll help someone who makes
a visit.
FOOD!
GRASS
ROOTS
Grass Roots is a natural
foods store that was right down the road from my old house. They
have very friendly people and a good selection of natural stuff.
Their small bakery has some very yummy stuff, including the Giant Chocolate
Chip Cookie. Thier Veggie Calzones and Garlic Feta Pizzas are pretty
damn good, too. Definitely a great place for the naturally oriented
folk. The Giant Chocolate Chip Cookie makes good backpackin' snackin',
too.
KILLER
CHICKEN
Killer
Chicken has the best ribs around. Ok, I know this sounds wacky getting
the best ribs at a chicken place, but it's true. They're chicken's
not bad, either, but their ribs are awesome. They have meal/side-order
setups similar to that of KFC or Boston Market, but with selection and
atmosphere of an entirely different level. Their prices aren't too
bad, either. Oh, and watch out for the Jamaican Jerk chicken unless
you like your food VERY hot. I love hot food and my eyes were watering.
SNO-FLAKE
It's a little
burger place on Hwy 50. They usually load you up with good portions
at a fairly affordable price. About the only way to get a cheaper
burger would be to hit a fast food joint, and we all know how the quality
of that is. There are other burger places in South Lake Tahoe that
are good, too, but Sno-flake's quality and large portions put it on the
top of my list.
SPROUTS
Sprouts is a
natural foods cafe in South Lake Tahoe. I would have to say everything
I have eaten there is tasty. I haven't tried everything, but the
Burritos, Tostadas, Rice Bowls and Smoothies are excellent. Whatever
you eat, it must be complemented with a Funky Monkey. Basically a
banana-strawberry smoothie with some granola and other protein and healthy
stuff. Very good.
