The Central Coast’s Legendary Pea Soup Andersen’s Future Is in Jeopardy - Eater LA

"Buellton’s legendary Danish-themed Pea Soup Andersen’s restaurant is up for sale. A Santa Barbara realty company has listed the restaurant’s building and surrounding 3.36 acre property for a whopping $4.7 million. This historic and well-known restaurant off the 101 freeway north of Los Angeles is one of Central California’s quirkiest spots, complete with the old-school dining room as well as gift shops and banquet rooms for tourists and weekend guests. Even those who have never eaten there are familiar with the name, thanks to the many pale green billboards that dot the freeway for many miles in either direction. The restaurant’s pea soup is of course a staple, but it also serves everything from pickled herring to supreme chicken quesadillas." - Mona Holmes
