Eating out is one of my favorite programs! I made a list of favorite restaurants here in the California and Brazil! All on the most natural line or that carry typical dishes that are worth it!
Eating out is one of my favorite things to do! specially because of nowdays we have so many new restaurants, I have at least 10 friends that have decided to quit their old jobs to open a small restaurant. They all started small and it is so cool so see their business flourishing and offering such a good food and service!
I have decided to make this restaurant list to my clients or whoever is looking for some tasty, fresh, and healthy food.
