"People travel from far and wide for Chef John’s lightly battered London-style fish and chips plates (deep-fried white fish served with thick-cut potato wedges), which cost $14.99 for one piece of fish, while two pieces will set you back $20.99. A fast-food style outpost in East County, don’t be fooled by its land-locked Lemon Grove location — the quality is comparable to seaside outposts. Not feeling the fries? Substitute them with zucchini, onion rings, mushrooms, hush puppies, or vinegary slaw." - Roxana Becerril, Keri Bridgwater
