Area Code 714 Garden Grove CA

Last weekend we stayed in wonderful Garden Grove, CA. Garden Grove is within 5 miles of Disneyland, Knott’s Berry Farm and a half-dozen other tourist attractions in Area Code 714. We got in late Saturday night only to find a full parking lot at the Hampton Inn. It turns out that they were having a wedding reception and it was quite busy.

We decided to have dinner at Knott’s. Knott’s has the best-fried chicken around and you must try it if you are ever in Buena Park. Knott’s dinner is outside the park so you don’t need spend a lot of money on the rides just to get good food. Some people were going to the take-out to bring the chicken inside the park. They probably saved lots of money doing that.

The real reason we went to Garden Grove was not for the chicken, but was to attend the Crystal Cathedral. Pretty incredible place to worship.

Area Code 229 Plains GA

Mom's Kitchen. Absolutely the best Southern Cooking I've ever had. My wife is from the South and she agrees with me. We were visiting her brother in Eufaula, AL which is on the Georgia border. If you travel directly east for about 50 miles you run into Plains, GA -- the hometown of President Jimmy Carter.

Mom is a celebrity and she was featured on the Food Network Paula's Home Cooking show.
