Monterey on the other hand wasn't nearly as overcast, so we decided to have dinner there on Cannery Row. The last restaurant we ate at there was quite good, but expensive during normal dinner hours, so we wanted to try another one. Our decision was made very simple when one of the restaurants offered us a free sample of warm clam chowder as well as a coupon for free clam chowder bowls for two. Perfect. The restaurant was called "Louie Linguini's" and they actually still have the same free coupon on their website if you look them up. It was a casual seafood restaurant filled with silly stories and photos about the fictional character "Louie Linguini" and all the crazy encounters with various celebrities and world events he'd had. There was even a large Bruce Lee plastic statue by the bathrooms for reasons unknown.
Campiness aside, the food was delicious.
The main reason for going in. Totally worth it.
Way too much food for one meal (we had leftovers) and not healthy at all, but the shrimp was full of flavor and despite the heavy breading, not oily or greasy either.And as promised by my last explanation, the environment of the place!
Cloudy or not, isn't Monterey gorgeous? I want to go to the master's degree university here someday.Anyway, that's all for tonight. Who knows what will be cooked up next...?
