Sadly, at the end of last week, SaveNewporters began reporting that a local’s favorite, Big Belly Deli, has suddenly closed– locals say without warning.

As we know, Joe’s Crabshack closed recently with very little notice.  If you would still like to get your fix, the closest one to Newport is in their Garden Grove location, at 12011 Harbor Blvd. Garden Grove, CA 92840 (11am to 11pm) But from its ashes rises the newest “high volume, high profile” concept called GuacAmigos launched by three restaurateur brothers and …
