Pea Soup Anderson’s

Posted: May 14th, 2007 | Author: admin | Filed under: 50StateRide | 3 Comments »


In 1949, when my grandparents took their 3 month honeymoon road trip from the east coast to the west coast, the went to a restaurant that was famous for its pea soup. Unfortunately in the nearly 60 years since, they’d forgotten where it was. Their guess was on the CA 1 / PCH somewhere between San Francisco and Portland. They asked me to keep an eye out for the signs for the famous soup that brought them in. Matt and I stopped for gas in Buellton and found the restaurant. I was really excited to find a place my grandparents visited and remembered from when they were my age.

    Wow! So did you have some split-pea soup? That’s my favorite!

    Split-pea soup will have all new meaning for you going forward and hopefully memories that will last at least 60 years

    That’s great, how neat that it’s still there and still serving up the split-pea soup!
