hi everyone welcome to the first episode of best restaurants hidden gems so we're
gonna feature restaurants that you've probably never heard of you know I mean
all the famous restaurants they get a lot of exposure but there are these
hidden gems tucked away like little hole-in-the-wall
places that locals know about that you might not ever heard of but they're
fantastic so the place that we're gonna feature
today is called Prunedale Market so when you're driving on the 101 look out for
this sign that says best barbecue on Yelp it's totally the definition of a hidden
gem because it's not even a restaurant it's a market and he sells food there
he cooks it himself don't judge it from the outside the owner was super nice we
ordered a tri-tip sandwich the barbecue ribs you can get a half slab for $15 or
a full slab for $25 and on Saturdays you have soup of the day we got corn chowder
and then so he goes
so he gave us some corn chowder and then a free plate of
I don't like corn chowder or any type of chowder that's
too creamy where you can really just taste like oh my gosh the fattiness from
the cream in the milk but the corn chowder was so good it had sausage in it
it was flavored so nicely and the pasta salad was really yummy, really refreshing
nice flavor and then oh my gosh look at these ribs look at this
gigantic portion for $15 and he told us that it was just gonna fall off the bone
and seriously it does and don't forget about the sweet barbecue sauce hiding
underneath the ribs I was in such a rush to eat the meat that I didn't even
notice the barbecue sauce but the barbecue sauce is like sweet and tangy
it's awesome the ribs are really smoky you can taste the smoke
tri-tip sandwich oh my gosh you guys the bread is fresh and fluffy it's nice and
soft and the tri-tip is like so tender so good oh my gosh he threw in some hot
Fritos in there I mean the crunch and that kick from those hot Fritos
this whole sandwich is da bomb dot come it's like only $10.99 which is much cheaper
and a much bigger portion than normal sandwich shops you guys this place is in
Prunedale. I was like huh where's Prunedale? I've never even heard of it
it's near Salinas and Monterey so if you're heading to Santa Cruz
go a little bit more south if you're coming up in doing like the San
Francisco LA trip or something like this would be oh my gosh the perfect pit stop
from when you're driving a couple hours and like you just gotta hit up like the
best sandwich and the best ribs ever you know so there's a reason why this place
is rated 5 stars on Yelp I would totally give this place five
stars for the food, five stars for the price point the value
and the taste of the food that you get. We got like the half slab of ribs
we got the tri-tip sandwich and the corn chowder and a bottle of water for $28 so
it was totally satisfying totally filled the both of us up
and then five stars for customer service I mean the guy's just super nice
it's one of those really friendly establishments that you just really want to go back and support
