The Hitching Post of Casmalia, CA in The Lompoc Record

Roadfood favorite and Santa Maria steak specialist The Hitching Post is featured in this week's Roadside Attractions series in The Lompoc Record.  Says Sally Cappon: "A restaurant flier advertises 'the world's best barbecue.' No argument here."

We'll add that if you've never had the opportunity to sample Santa Maria barbecue, you're really missing out on a unique Roadfood classic.  It's not barbecue as most of us think of it; it's actually beefsteak cooked over burning wood, with a traditional set of accompaniments that usually include salsa, pinquito beans, toasted French bread, and salad.  Add a bottle of inexpensive local pinot noir and you've got yourself a memorable Roadfood feast!
