RON'S TOP 10 ORANGE COUNTY EATING PLACES

An Insider's View of Some Favorite Places to Eat & Drink. Most of these are in or near North Orange County, Ca

Ron knows Food. Ron knows Real Estate. Ron gets around. In his job as both a Realtor and Appraiser, this very nice guy has visited many restaurants in North and Central Orange County. Being an appraiser, he analyzes food the same way he does real estate for clients. He has no bones to pick and he tells it like it is. Even though there are many fine places to eat, we asked Ron to "cut to the core" and give us his favorites.
