Rejoicing that the renowned Pea Soup Andersen’s restaurant in Santa Nella, California, is exactly midway on the eight-hour drive from Redding to Los Angeles.
Pea Soup Andersen’s has been splitting peas for its all-natural soup since 1924 and is located exactly between Redding in Northern California and Los Angeles in SoCal(four hours each way).
An ideal spot for The Idiot to refuel on Interstate 5, which he’s forced to drive because his preferred route along the Pacific Ocean through Big Sur is still closed due to mudslides.
