I'm hungry, which is probably why I've decided to write about my favorite places to eat in Bakersfield. I'm always trying new things, and reading what people are saying about local restaurants on the Inside Guide. But here's my "Best Of" for Bakersfield:

OK, I better stop or else I'm going to eat my desk. Time for lunch!
