As we mentioned in the first of our unexpected SoCal Chow articles from this weekend, our trip back from San Francisco to test Apple’s new iPad was stalled by a mid-week snowstorm in Buffalo, so we shuffled off to Southern California instead to catch up on some places that we think you might enjoy reading about. This article discusses California pizza and the growing California Pizza Kitchen chain, as well as the well-liked Claim Jumper steak and rib restaurants; the prior article looked at Kogi BBQ, an innovative Korean-Mexican taco truck, and Bass Pro Stores.
