Paula's Pancake House

1531 Mission Drive
Solvang, California 93463

Don't let the name fool you, this is nothing like IHOP. It's fortunate that this place is located in historic Solvang, California, a couple thousand miles from me, or I would probably weigh 400 pounds. They're only open for breakfast and lunch.

Andersen's Danish Restaurant and Bakery

1106 State Street
Santa Barbara, California 93101

Lots of stuff to try, if I ever get out to the west coast, and the prices look pretty reasonable, too. A quick scan of their menu and I'm amazed there's any Havarti left for the rest of us. I won't wax too eloquent, because them Danes already got the big heads, don't you know. At least the ones I know.
