I spent a lot of time in Santa Maria in the 80's in support of programs we had going at VAFB. That area is agricultural and raises a lot of beef. Lots of good eats! Was lucky to travel with a guy that lived there and knew all the great spots. Ate at several of the places mentioned in the article. Kind of liked it there.
