Fullerton Halal Travel Guide

Fullerton has undergone several transformations from its 1887 founding as a rural stop on the Santa Fe Railroad. A longtime agricultural powerhouse in fruit and nut trees and ranching, Fullerton's economy exploded in the early 1900s with the development of the petroleum industry, with many fine homes and civic buildings constructed with oil money into the 1920s. After World War II, manufacturing displaced oil drilling, dominated by companies like Hughes Aircraft and Val-Vita Foods (later Hunt-Wesson, of Hunt's Ketchup and Wesson Oil). By the 1960s, Fullerton was also a bedroom community for booming Los Angeles.

In the 21st century, Fullerton's economy has shifted again, this time to education (driven by California State University, Fullerton and Fullerton College) and healthcare (driven by St. Jude's Medical Center). Its historic downtown has been revitalized into a regional shopping and entertainment neighborhood. Fullerton has a thriving arts culture, home to several theatre companies as well as a vibrant music scene that has its roots with famous guitarmaker Leo Fender. Fender was the first company to mass-produce solid-body electric guitars in 1950 (nowadays that model is known as the Fender Telecaster), hence Fullerton has been considered the birthplace of the electric guitar.

Fullerton has a large ethnic Korean community, drawn to its excellent schools. Unlike Westminster (California) | Westminster's Little Saigon or Garden Grove's Little Seoul, however, is no single Koreatown. Instead, you will find Korean restaurants, bakeries, churches, and retail outlets scattered in pockets throughout the city.

The staff does not wear uniforms, but don't worry they'll make themselves known. Do: seat yourself (there are no hosts to seat you). Don't: order falafel, it's the one thing on the menu that everyone agrees is horrible.

• Kimmie's Coffee Cup - 1605 W. Commonwealth Ave 33.870335, -117.95113 ☎ +1 714 449-1580 - A classic American diner with a woman's touch. Independently owned, with just two locations and the Fullerton Kimmie's boasts an outdoor heated patio. It's only open until 2PM, so you have to come by for breakfast or lunch, but no matter what time you show up, you should order from the breakfast menu because that's where the goodies are. Banana-nut pancakes, build-your-own omelets, and the Coffee, of course, you have to try the Coffee. The waitresses are all smiles, and their aprons all handmade.

• (Thai) BBQ - 211 East Orangethorpe Ave 33.859747, -117.921073 Harbor and Orangethorpe ☎ +1 714 870-1333 - The best and most expensive (Thai) in Fullerton. There are cheaper options at nearly every shopping center but what you sacrifice in cost you also sacrifice in authenticity and variety. If you are just getting your monthly Pad (Thai) fix and then any place will do and you'll save a few bucks, but if you're looking for the quality of a home-cooked (Thai) meal and then hit up (Thai) BBQ, and ask your server for recommendations. Be adventurous. Drink the (Thai) tea, with or without boba

• Roman Cucina - 211 N. Harbor Blvd 33.871874, -117.924521 ☎ +1 714 680-6000 - Dark decor and fabulous dim lighting to set the mood.

Their Pastas dishes are hearty and delectable. They are only open for dinner.

• The Mulberry St. Ristorante - 114 W. Wilshire Ave 33.872206, -117.925095 ☎ +1 714 525-1056 - The Italian food is good, but go for the seafood. Ask your server for a good pairing.

• The Cellar - 305 N. Harbor Blvd 33.872689, -117.924559 ☎ +1 714 525-5682 - Fine French cuisine underground. The restaurant is beneath the historic Villa Del Sol, a beautiful building and plaza in the heart of downtown. The list, as you may have guessed, is impressive and the menu is, well, French.

• In-N-Out Burgers - 1180 South Harbor Blvd 33.860211, -117.923991 Harbor and Orangethorpe ☎ +1-800-786-1000 - Most television series based in California will pay homage to In-N-Out at some point. It's classic California. Californians can't resist the fresh-cut potato fries and the Grade A beef (never frozen), and the spread. The spread used to just come on the Burgers but they had to start packaging the spread for easier distribution because their clients always ask for extra to smother their fries in. The menu is as simple and classic as their image, but there is "the secret menu" that any local, or even the cashier, can tell you about. If you want to pretend to be in the know, just Google it before you go.

• Taqueria de Anda - 300 W. Valencia Dr 33.865899, -117.928879 ☎ +1 714 871-4211 - Part of a Southern California chain. They make the most authentic tacos north of the border crossing. Drive-thru is open 24-hours. Enough said.
