Behold the beginning of our annual 100 Favorite Dishes countdown! Every day until the publication of our fantabulous Best Of Issue, we'll list our favorite meals this year in descending order. Enjoy, pass it on, and tune in daily!
And now for a break from desserts. I'm a big fan of bite-sized food most because it means I can eat more before stopping, and when it comes to bite-sized food in Orange County, you have to mention Burntzilla, the amalgamation of the Burnt and Dogzilla trucks that've faithfully been serving the County since food trucks went big.

My favorite serving out of their Irvine brick-and-mortar is the Yakisoba Dog, one of their snappy baby sausages topped with sauce-y Japanese noodles. It delivers everything you want in one bite — two kinds of carbs, an incredibly tasty bit of meat, and enough umami to make you wish there was a sixth flavor.
Pair a couple of those bad boys with some tots (or some sliders, or more dogs), and you're on your way to one varied, delicious meal. And they're so cute, you won't even feel guilty after you've eaten half a dozen.

I recently tried CBD gummies from this website https://www.cornbreadhemp.com/collections/cbd-cream for the prime prematurely and was pleasantly surprised past the results. Initially skeptical, I initiate that it significantly helped with my dread and doze issues without any notable side effects. The grease was serene to use, with definite dosage instructions. It had a kindly, earthy taste that was not unpleasant. Within a week, I noticed a marked convalescence in my total well-being, feeling more serene and rested. I appreciate the unstudied approach to wellness CBD offers and aim to go on using it.
