it seems that there is a new dining mecca in oc, and it is not in newport, fullerton, or villa park. okay, i'm sure you could guess that it's not in villa park, since there's only six restaurants in that northoccity, and that's if you are counting subway as a restaurant. no, the new dining hot spot inocis costa mesa, and more specifically, 17th street in costa mesa. there have been so many openings within the last year or two, that we have yet to hit them all. pie not, sidecar doughnuts, a new bruxie location, tabu shabu, and madee thai kitchen are all places that we need to hit up eventually. this trip to the densely packed business district of 17th street had us meeting our good friend meagan at another place that has opened up within the last two years, pitfire artisan pizza. pitfire is a mini chain from la. they have six restaurants in la, and this is their first foray into oc. started by paul hibler and david sanfie
