Simple Food. Good Ideas. Great Fun.
The Amish Country in Ohio is a great area to get home-style comfort food that is consistently delicious. My two favorite place are actually owned by the same company that also has locations in Florida. Although they still own less than 10 restaurants, it is a much larger company than I ever expected to be […]
The Tomato Shed Cafe on John’s Island in near Charleston, South Carolina is fantastic! It has it all: friendly service, clean establishment, great tasting food, and very reasonable prices. This unique, lunch-only cafe is part of the Stono Market, which sells produce, seafood, bakery items, take-and-bake items, decorative items, cookbooks, and more. Despite the retail […]
There is a hidden treasure in Cincinnati. It is a bagel shop, Everything Bagels. Hidden from view of, yet almost next to, State Route 32 in the Eastgate area is this wonderful local gem that serves fantastic bagels and sandwiches. From the first time I ate there, it became one of my favorites and “must go-to” […]
We almost did not eat here. We walked by it to see what else was in the area. After all, it was very close to the Louisville Slugger Museum, so we thought it was probably overpriced and not very good. After walking several blocks, we returned and took our chances. It was a very good […]
The NYPD: New York Pizza Department has brought authentic New York style pizza to the Chattanooga, Tennessee area. Their Neapolitan pizza is a 24-inch pie that has to be folded a little to fit in the to-go box and has enormous slices. Most importantly, it has a great texture and taste. Located in a strip […]
Wally’s is an old-school restaurant that has a loyal following, good food, and great prices. Although there is another location in nearby East Ridge, Tennessee, I have only been to the McCallie Avenue location in Chattanooga. It is a great place to have breakfast. Not only is breakfast served from 6 – 11 a.m., they […]
Just off of I-70 in Zanesville, Ohio there is a place where you can be transported back to another time, perhaps your childhood. Tom’s Ice Cream Bowl is not a “retro” shop, it is the real thing. Its decor from the tables to the soda fountain bar to the floor are the same as they […]
How does someone who does not live in Cincinnati end up recommending the Po’ Boys from a food truck in the Ohio city’s downtown? The simple answer is because of my brother-in-law. He has raved about the terrific food served by the New Orleans To Go since he first ate it. He has even managed […]
If you like Po’-Boys and are near Huntsville, Alabama, then I suggest you try the Po-Boy Factory. They had a good variety of choices of Po-boys including shrimp, craw fish, oysters, and catfish. In fact, you can even get a combination of any of the two I just mentioned on one sandwich. I had the […]
I wish I was enjoying the end of the summer visiting my in-laws. No, I am not being sarcastic. Yes, I have very nice in-laws. No, seriously, they are nice. I must admit though that one of the reasons I would like to be visiting them and not vise-versa (other than my house currently looks […]
