The OC Food Scene, 20 Years Ago
The next change is more symbolic but equally telling: the closure of Garden Grove's legendary Belisles. I only went once but it changed the way I thought about food completely. I had an epic breakfast, a giant cast iron skillet brimming with hash browns, bacon, eggs, biscuits and gravy. Enough food, in fact, for 6 people instead of just myself and two of my equally big-eating friends.
The closing of Belisles was a bloodbath worthy of Custer's Last Stand, with the Garden Grove Redevelopment Agency bulldozing the old dame to build a hotel that never came to fruition. And now there is a fucking Joe's Crab Shack there.
