Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles

Roscoe's, Long Beach, CA                           ACB RATING: 10/10

KFC has nothing on this! We had the company of our new eating buddies: Amanda and Steven. Yes, I know chicken and waffles just seem like they don't mix, but it is better than PB&J, Jordan & Pippen. It is just a match made in heaven. Their chicken is just so tender and crispy, it is shocking! The waffles are so soft and full of cinnamon flavor. You get the best of both worlds: chicken and waffles. For your drink, you must order the eclipse (fruit punch, orange juice, and lemonade). 

The Five Guys: Bacon Cheese Burger

Five Guys, Orange, CA                     ACB RATING: 6/10 (compared to IN N OUT)
We heard that The Five Guys is the "IN N OUT" of the east coast, but IN N OUT you have nothing to worry about. Even though their burgers are made from fresh ingredients and handmade patties, there is something about IN N OUT that is captivating and leaves you wanting more. We felt like the "bang," that mysteriously delicious element,  was missing from this burger joint. The special thing about this is that they have a menu full of toppings you can add onto your burger, free of charge. The bonus is that while you wait, you are greeted with complimentary peanuts. 

Guppies Tea House: Shaved Ice/Pineapple Fried Rice

 
Guppies Tea House, Irvine, Ca                    ACB RATING:10/10

Guppies has two locations one in Irvine and the other in Anaheim. At this place you better come prepared with your team of sweet teeth.  I am holding an enormous bowl of shaved ice, this dessert is served with your choice of ice cream, and fruit, shaved ice, and condensed milk (makes the ice yummy milky). Ours is the super shaved ice (serves 7-8 people), it had mango slices, strawberries and bananas, and vanilla and chocolate ice cream.
 
They also serve amazing pineapple fried rice in half a pineapple. Bring your A game here!!!
