It’s a picturesque drive through Big Sur, and the complete lack of cell service, however unsettling, forces you to focus on the view.
Your concern is for naught as it’s impossible to deviate from the PCH so the only way to go is north.
The bridges are beautiful, and there are peaceful little glamping hotels and rustic restaurants along the way.
No stops this time as a toddler will only sit in a car so long, but no regrets when we get to Pezzini Farms.
There are artichokes as far as the eye can see, and The Choke Coach is everything I've ever wanted.
Artichokes like this, artichokes like that. Artichokes every way you can think of, plus a couple more.
Fried Artichoke is a must. A thick batter with a satisfying crunch gives way to a juicy sweet center.
Artichoke Tacos are creamy and fresh, but they could do with less lettuce as the main event is overpowered. A shame, really, the artichoke is perfectly cooked.
The Artichoke Po'boy looks like a hot mess, and it is in the best way possible. The sauce is smooth and slathered all over, and what's not to like about more fried artichoke?
I'd skip the sandwich and keep it simple. Just get me a good Grilled Artichoke, though this one is a bit overcooked.
Order anything you like, but don't skip Artichoke Soup. They make a creamy cup of comfort with a soul of artichoke that warms you to the soul. It's that perfect balance between creamy but light, sippable but hearty, veggie-ful but sweet.
They also make some sandwich staples like a burger and Tri Tip Sandwich for those who don't want all artichoke...people I don't understand. The tri tip is legit, though; tender meat, smoky and soft.
A food truck full of artichoke, within walking distance, on an artichoke farm. If I had a heaven, it might look something like this.
