Lets see, Santa Barbara is about two hours north of Orange County, but within two hours, we could make it all the way to Paris!
Texas, that is! LOL

There is even a plethora of fine french dining venues to chose from. Crawford's Hole in the Wall, The Catfish King, Longhorn Barbeque, Roadhouse Diner, and my personal favorite, Papa Murphy's Take 'n Bake where they serve a mighty fine country fried baquette sandwich, called a Monty Greasto! LOL
