Those of you who have been out to Vandenberg Space Force Base in southern California for a launch may have hit the area fave Pea Soup Anderson's in Buellton. Unfortunately, it just closed down.
Pea Soup Andersen's was opened by Danish immigrant Anton Andersen in Buellton back in 1924, at first under the name Andersen's Electric Cafe, named so due to its then-new electric stove. The split pea soup eventually became more notable than any technological advances in the restaurant, earning a reputation as a customer favorite and spurring the owners to change the restaurant name to Pea Soup Andersen's in 1947.
