Simple Food. Good Ideas. Great Fun.
It is starting to become a family tradition to go to Little Tokyo Hibachi Grill and Sushi in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee once a year. We have gone the past couple of years after a weekend youth gathering our church attended. It is the one time a year that my daughter is assured of getting to […]
I happened to be close to Taconooga’s Frazier Avenue location on business that finished before lunch. My husband and I decided to meet for a quick lunch. By the time he met me in the parking lot behind the restaurant, it was the lunch hour rush. I was afraid we might not even be able […]
Across the road from the Herr’s potato chip and snack factory in the quaint town of Nottingham, Pennsylvania is Nottingham Inn Kitchen and Creamery. Our stop at this cute eatery in this southeastern Pennsylvania town was supposed to be just for ice cream, but the creamery part was not open when we there. We noticed that […]
What surpasses a locally owned and operated dairy bar or ice cream stand that serves soft serve ice cream, sundaes, shakes, hot dogs, and other dairy bar food?

Without any conscience intent, I seem to have started searching for good burgers at restaurants, especially restaurants located in the Chattanooga, Tennessee area. So far, the cheeseburger that I had for my last birthday is the winner. I ate this wonderful burger at a small, local cafe atop Lookout Mountain in the very small city […]
Despite being located in the Appalachian Mountains instead of the Alps, Muller’s Famous Fried Cheese Cafe offers authentic Czech and German dishes in Helen, Georgia. Helen itself is a small city that saved itself from extinction by remaking itself resemble an alpine village. The transformation successfully made Helen tourist attraction. The city has been able […]
I am sad to report that Young He Zhi Jia is no longer. There is another Asian restaurant in the location, Gu’s Kitchen. It is a Szechuan cuisine (“street food”) place that I have not tried. However, I do know that they do not serve soup dumplings. 🙁 Yong He Zhi Jia is located along […]
