Slapfish, Laguna Beach


It's lunch time and I am starving, good thing these photos of food from Slapfish can hold me over until I can grab food. I've heard the name Slapfish a few times, and was under the impression that it was a sushi restaurant, but when stopping by their Laguna location, I was pleasantly surprised at the innovative seafood menu. Although the location has just enough room to walk in, order, and grab utensils; there's an open outside seating area.
After a day at the beach, my friend Trang and I stopped by and we ordered Chowder fries to share and one Ultimate Fish Taco each. I thought we weren't going to be full by sharing the fries and having just one taco, but boy was I wrong. The Chowder fries are on another level, I was thinking the chowder might cause the fries to be soggy, but it was more like a gravy and topped with tons (and I mean tons) of bacon bits which offset but complemented the creaminess of the chowder. The ultimate fish taco is definitely ultimate, in both taste, freshness, and size. I was not expecting to receive such a big piece of fish; the size of the fish within the tortilla made it look daunting to eat, but I simply cut down the middle, added some hot sauce and folded up the taco. Check out more on Slapfish here as well as their locations here.

You can buy your tickets ahead of time here! Andrew and I attended a media preview of the event tonight, see photos of what we ate below and what you'll get to grub on if you go! Thrillist and Honda did an amazing job making us feel like we were taking a journey from city to city, eatery to eatery. The event as a whole looked and seemed cohesive with the road trip theme and the food which initially looked like too small of portions, ended up making me stuffed. For the ticket price and major cities highlighted, I think the event showcased the best types of food from each city allowing for guests to experience a variety of dishes without feeling inundated or not provided enough.

Guests receive a passport and punch card, each city/restaurant you visit, your card is punched in exchange for a delicious dish or beverage. Also enjoy refreshments and snacks at the 'Rest Stop' and live music and giveaways. Don't miss out on this scrumptious event, the most epic road trip ever! We also had a blast taking photos with Honda's new HR-V, you'll have to seen at the header of this post or in a GIF animation at the bottom of the page!
