BBQ Along Route 66

Rancho Cucamonga, CA -- While driving down Route 66, something amazingly good was tantalizing my senses. Billowing smoke from behind a pile of wood poured over a red and white building, reminiscent of, well anywhere but LA.

I pulled into the parking lot and was greeted by Warren. Unfortunately, I had already eaten but I brought back a menu and will be sure to come again, this time to eat. Based on their reviews, family-owned, Redhill BBQ is worth the 40-minute drive from downtown LA.

I'll let you all know my thoughts after a meal at Redhill.

Route 66 Through Cucamonga

I used to think Cucamonga was one of those mysterious, far-away city names like Timbuktu or Snake Navel, Wyoming. These are the places we used to describe a place a few miles short from outer space.

It wasn't until I was ten years old that our family was driving along Route 66 that I saw a sign reading, "Welcome To Ranch Cucamonga" that I realized that I only lived 45 minutes from that distant land. All of the sudden, Timbuktu seemed a little closer, but I never did find Snake Navel, WY.
