Sebastian’s Store, WR Hearst Memorial SB

After the Hearst Castle tour, I was feeling pretty hungry so I went over to Sebastian’s which is basically located across PCH from the Hearst Castle parking lot but tucked way back into the forest. I went earlier in the morning to take this picture before the store was open but remembered seeing a sign outside that said there was a deli inside. So after the tour I went over there figuring the average Hearst Castle tourist wouldn’t know about it.

So after some deliberation, I decided to order the french dip sandwich. Excuse my inner Paris Hilton, but Oh my god it soooo good!! On the menu they said ingredients include Hearst Ranch Beef, horseradish, au ju’s sauce, etc… and some sort of bread. Sounded fairly interesting but this turned out to be the best sandwich I have ever had in my life. I can’t stop thinking about it either. Too bad I didn’t have my camera with me or think to use my cell phone camera but take my word for it.

Sebastian’s Store dates back to the 1870’s and looks like a homey little small town general store. Doesn’t look like a place where you would find great food but that is what’s so great about it. Unlike those pretentious fancy schmancy high-end L.A. restaurants newspapers and magazines brag about in the media all the time, Sebastian’s is one of those low-key places where you just kind of stumble into in the middle of nowhere.

After eating, I went around the front again and saw a sandwich board that said “Home of the Famous Hearst Ranch Beef Dip Sandwich.” Turned out to be a lucky decision on my part.
