The Hat: Brea

Today for lunch, my friend Matt and I met up with his friend Greg over at The Hat in Brea. The Hat has been providing high quality food and service since 1951. They have World Famous Pastrami, and trust me, it really is the best. Everytime I come to The Hat, I always get the Pastrami and Cherry Sprite, even though they have a multitude of items on their menu. Something about that combo just does it perfectly for me. Check the pics after the jump!

Classic Pastrami; can’t go wrong with that.

Matt’s Chili Cheese Fries. Honestly this could feed 3-4 people.

They just call it a Cherry, but I think it’s Cherry Sprite, might be Strawberry. Whatever it is, it’s amazing.

This is your brain on The Hat!
