Food find: Tacos el Norte


This weekend, despite having graduating six months ago and having my nicely framed diploma on the wall, I graduated from Northwestern. They only do a graduation ceremony once per year, so I walked at graduation Saturday for probably the last time ever. I don’t foresee a Dr. Kelly the Culinarian anytime in my future.

Atlanta, GA - Drive-in Movies Provide Great Summer Fun!


The first drive-in theater, the brain child of Richard Milton Hollingshead, Jr, opened its parking lot and projected its first movie in June, 1933. Lucky for us, New Jersey is not the only state that strategically placed these entertainment centers. Believe it or not, there are a good many drive-in theaters still in operation […]

More than Hot Dogs: College World Series, Omaha, NE


Well baseball fans, it is that time of year again. The NCAA Men’s College World Series has once again come to Omaha, NE. With that, there are thousands of people flocking to this city on the Missouri River in hopes their team wins it all. Meanwhile, they will have some time to do what everyone […]

Atlanta, GA: Nickiemoto’s Midtown


Nickiemoto’s Midtown is a restaurant I have wanted to try for years. Originally located in Atlanta’s Buckhead area, the pan-Asian restaurant moved to midtown several years ago. Advantageously situated on the tip Piedmont Park at the corner of 10th and Piedmont, parking can be a bit tricky if the restaurant is packed, but […]

Food Find: Giant Chocolate Fountains!


My dear friend Alissa tied the knot recently! It was a fabulous ceremony that went on without a hitch. The reception had some tasty Polish food. However, I was too busy making a fool out of myself “dancing,” to eat the wedding cake. No matter, there was something better.
Now, I have a smallish chocolate fountain […]

Atlanta, Georgia: Uptown Restaurant & Lounge


Since moving to Atlanta some 10 + years ago, I have found few places with which I am completely comfortable frequenting. Why, you ask? While Atlanta has grown into a great mix of people, businesses, and culture, it has taken a little while to get here, and in many ways still has far […]

The Broadway Diner, Summit, New Jersey


The other day, a friend and I got into a discussion about New Jersey diners. She, being a recent transplant from Missouri, has been scouting out diners in the area, and I have had a healthy obsession with diners since I was in high school. My favorites are the 1950s silver ones, the way we […]

Mexican Food in the Midwest: Julio’s - Omaha, NE


I’ll come out and say it. I am a Mexican Food Snob. Having been born and raised in Texas, I would definitely consider myself a connoisseur of interior Mexican cuisine, Tex-Mex and Mexican-American fare. With that said, Julio’s in Omaha, NE did not disappoint.
Julio’s bills itself as Omaha’s premier Tex-Mex. That having been said, while […]
