Does that book have a list of the people that will be cooking for climbers?
I need to make friends with them. :)
Pinnacles East or West side on the way back to the Bay Area, I stop at Super Taqueria in Hollister or Morgan Hill, respectively.

On Sonora Pass Highway, my house. My wife's an excellent cook (I do not like to cook).
I kinda like the ambience there too.

@Mungeclimber - You can order your non-climbing (gasp) friends a book and perhaps inspire them ;)

For most of the places I like to climb at my campsite is the best place to eat. But in the lower Kern there's the Kern River Brewing Company. The best ale and a great menu.
Looks like a cool book. How can we get a copy?

I gotta second Locker on Sam's.
I heartily un-recommend the hobo butt-meat gyro in Baker, though I suppose that there is always a second time for anything.

"We didn't come here to eat lunch; we came here to face death!"
T.M. Herbert (when his partner was complaining about the food brought on the climb...)
I like this quote, so in the trip reports I write, I have a fairly strict policy of describing the climbing and not the food.
Although I expect it could be extremely boring to describe what I eat!

When climbing Oak Flats/Queen Creek = Los Hermanos Restaurant & Lounge and also Porters Café (In the lot with "The Worlds Smallest Museum")...
I'll second Los Hermanos. Porters is on Main St., though, and not adjacent to the museum.

Hey DMT, how long has Alicia's been there? I don't remember it on my forays to Burst and Frankenstein. I dig local bakeries and always try and hit them up.
We'd hit Pie in the Sky on the way back down, it is tasty but the crust is a little lacking..

Everyone loves the burger barn...but they don't get inspected and I always feel like sh#t after I've eaten there.
I prefer holy smoke BBQ, mahogany meats sandwiches, the Tai restaurant at the airport and upper crust pizza. Food is expensive in bishop...so cooking up some meats on a grill while watching the sunset is still the best option!

While we're doing Los Banos - Carneceria La Michoacana, on the north side of 152 / 33 towards the west end of town...awesome, bomber burritos and dinner plates. You'll probably be the only caucasian in there.

The food in the Hörnli Hutte is actually quite gut but it doesn't compare to any number of places in town (that Italian joint is excellent) but you can really enjoy yer aprés-send in any number of joints in Chamonix.

The best place at all of my favorite areas is at my Sportsmobile...I have a portable weber grill.
Pesto salmon, bison steaks and panko cod are among my favorites along with grilled asparagus, polenta or mashed potatoes and chopped salad. Oh, I almost forgot the wine...usually a malbec, syrah or pinot noir.

The tacos are served in the back portion of the market and are excellent and cost effective.
It's all located in old town Yucca Valley at the western end near the hill down to Morongo Valley.

Super Taqueria - Pinnacles

The Tracy General Store in Almo Idaho. They have a kitchen and dinning room like one you would find in a prairie home, and all homemade goods, fresh bread, daily specials. If you like grandma style old school food, this place is the best at City of Rocks! The steak house in Almo is good too. Meh on the pizza place although they do have a great beer selection.

I second Locker's suggestion of Sam's in JT, and Ward T's recommendation of Kasa Market in Yucca Valley.
In Lucerne Valley, Adelita's is a quite good.
At City of Rocks, Tracy's and the Outpost are ok, but the pizza at Rock City is some of the best I've ever had!

Gary.....Grumpy Bear's??? If you're DESPERATE! The cheeseburger is the only thing going on and its average. Besides, it's on the wrong side of the Domelands. Folks that are likely to hit up the Domelands will be heading to Church Dome and the like. So for most people, coming through Kernville would be logical approach. Same holds true if people were to head to The Needles, Dome Rock, the Hermit, Rincon, Valhalla, Kern Slabs, New Directions, Ghost and Spirit Rocks etc. And, don't waste your time on Ponderosa. Sub-standard leftovers that is over priced, just like Grumpy Bear's
Better yet.....
Kern River Brewing Co - Kernville
Pizza Barn - Kernville
McNally's Burger Stand - 13 miles north from K-Ville (along the way to The Needles and Domelands). Their burgers are DEE-LISH!!
Honorable mention.....The Kernville Airport Café. Ask for "The Pilot" burger. 3/4 lb burger with the absolute works. Bring your appetite.....its the size of Rhode Island!

For sheer quantity, the old Ahwahnee ski buffets were hard to beat, especially if you were a waiter there and got to descend like a locust
on the buffet table after they were over. Huge platters of crab meat salad.

Best pork chile verde ever: parking lot stand at Mission San Xavier del Bac south of Tucson. Check it out if you're touristing or on the way to climbing at the Stronghold or birding anywhere around there.
I've traveled a lot in Mexico, I lived in the Mission district in SF for years, I pride myself on on my own chile verde; but the Tohono O’odham verde was the best. The woman who sold it to me was one way honed bad ass, seemingly, and she certainly captured my respect.
