Giant Artichoke

Giant Artichoke in Castroville is on the corner of Highways 1 and 156. Most of the time you stand in line a while to order them fried, the specialty of the house. The thing to do is take them out to the hood of your car, along with a coke, and eat them as the traffic goes by. In the grocery the presentation is as follows: bananas in a banana, lemons in a lemon, tomatoes in a tomato, and etc. down the aisles.
