Pig Out at the Eat My Blog Charity Bake Sale - Saturday, June 19

If you find yourself in the mood for some serious grubbing tomorrow, you might want to head over to West Hollywood where the Eat My Blog Charity Bake Sale will be going on from 10am - 4pm.  There are going to be gobs and gobs of fine baked goods and other yummies prepared by local chefs, restaurants and food bloggers, with all proceeds going to the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank.  Check out the menu:

Bacon chocolate chip cookies with a maple glaze?  Bolivian sweet & salty empanadas?  Chocolate Guinness cupcakes?  Yeah, this isn't gonna be your standard community bake sale.  So, you can pig out on a ton of killer treats that are priced reasonably at $1-$4 each and do your part to help a good cause.  SWEET!!!

Oh, and the brand new Manila Machine roving Filipino food truck is supposed to be camped out at the sale from 10am-1pm cooking up adobo, lumpia, pan de sal sliders and more.

The bake sale will be held at Tender Greens, 8759 Santa Monica Blvd. in West Hollywood.

Upscale Cafe Breakfast at Andersen's in Santa Barbara

Santa Barbara has a number of yummy eateries to tempt your tastebuds.  It can get a little pricey if you're not careful, but that's what you get in an upscale resort-ish town like SB.  For a European-style cafe experience, try Andersen's on State Street, Santa Barbara's main drag.  It's a Danish bakery and restaurant/cafe that serves some crazy-good pastries and some fine cafe fare.

Check out these pastries.  Just looking at their offerings can get your mouth watering.  One local favorite is their apple strudel, but these French waffles really caught my eye.

I was there for breakfast, and I noticed a croissant French toast on the menu.  Oh yeah, I HAD to try that!  It was delicious, and looked great too.  The fresh berries really took it over the top.

And not only do they make the perfect looking cappucino, but their cafe mocha is some serious chocolaty goodness.

Andersen's is at 1106 State Street in Santa Barbara and on the web at andersenssantabarbara.com.
