🌮🍔🌯 Food Awards 🌯🍔🌮
SOCAL is a melting pot where you can eat delicious food from all over the world! That IN N OUT photo that I believed someone would post in the SOCAL specialties, memory food photo category was selected! 🍔😭🍔
If you want to pronounce it like a native speaker, the trick is to say "Inena Utsu!" with all your strength 💡
If you used to live in SOCAL, you will sympathize with "Japan's No. 1 burger chain ranking"! *Assumption of SoCalization
Moreover, @___1000sparkle___ posted a story about the back menu Animal Style . It's Tsu~😏
At IN N OUT, even Americans who dislike waiting in line have long lines in the store and drive-thru every day. The secret is the freshness of the ingredients used🍅🥬
The freshness of the lettuce and tomatoes is clearly different from that of ordinary burger chains, and the french fries are very reassuring because you can see that fresh potatoes are cut and fried on the spot for each order 😊
I want IN N OUT to land in Japan with SoCalization! 🍔🍟 Congratulations on being selected!
🍾🍺🍹 DRINKS AWARD 🍹🍺🍾
For the DRINKS prize, we are looking for SOCAL-like drink photos! That drink that became a boom in Japan was selected!
Say what?! Tapioca?! Oh, you mean BOBA!
Yes, in California, tapioca is called BOBA, and SOCAL originated in Southern California.
In the late 90s, Chinese/Taiwanese immigrants opened the first boba specialty store in the San Gabriel Valley near Los Angeles in the late 90s. After that, it spread rapidly throughout California and the United States!
BOBA GUYS posted by @lehuadeur_aming is a very popular store with 5 stores in Los Angeles and Orange County💡
The brown sugar hojicha boba is also delicious, and SOCALMON recommends the famous strawberry matcha latte🥤🍓
Thank you Aming for your wonderful post! And congratulations on winning the DRINKS category🎉
