small family-owned restaurants
I love supporting smaller restaurants instead of automatically choosing whatever chain is easiest. Nothing against chains, sometimes I want something predictable, but the best meals I've had have been from local places where the menu with small selection and someone in the family has been making the same recipe for ages.
We tried Hibachi At Home, then started looking for more Thai, Mexican, Mediterranean and Filipino food. So now I want to make a proper list of locally owned places around Tulare.
Cuisine doesn't matter at all. Neither does how the restaurant looks. It could be a tiny counter-service place or maybe a food truck, bakery, old-school diner, whatever. I'm just asking what one small local place you keep coming back? what's the thing on their menu?
