Well Fed On the Town

If you have kids, you know that going out can be complicated at best.  The kids need something to keep them entertained while waiting for meals or taking long rides — whether your craft be car, plane or train.
That’s why I love, love, LOVE the beautiful crayon rolls from Sugar Plum Delights. The handmade rolls […]

Foodies love iconic dishes. Philly Cheesesteak, Chicago Deep Dish Pizza, St. Louis Style Ribs, etc. Many a foodie discussion revolves around where to find the best examples of these iconic foods. So with that in mind, I tackled Kansas City this weekend in search of KC’s best KC Strip Steak. At the risk of launching […]

My son loves the summer tradition of stopping at Rita’s for Italian ices.  They’re only open here in the warm weather months and we go at least once a week for a cooling treat.  A nice perk to our visits is that they give out punch cards, so for every ice we buy, we get […]

I work from coffee shops now and again, since they are peaceful, quiet and filled with coffee. But conditions aren’t always ideal. That’s why I created this wishlist for my hotspot (it’s a wishlist, when I find a place fitting the bill, I will let you know).

A guarranteed connection — There is nothing worse then […]

I am all for flexibility in dining. And food joints that are willing to work with people are great. But geez people. If you haven’t been there before, look at the menu before ordering tandoori chicken in the pizza parlor.
So, I am sitting in Panera Bread working — Panera is a great place to put […]

One of the great things about getting hitched, besides the obvious, is trying out different venues for our reception, mainly the food. Because honestly, I’ve eaten in some real dives in the name of a good dish, so the place better have some damn good food.
We recently tried Tapas Barcelona in Evanston, which is a […]

Uh, we weren’t trying to give your kids healthier choices, silly!
That’s the message that Disney officials sent out regarding their decision to shutter three McDonald’s establishments at Disneyland in California. Disney still has McDonald’s outlets at their facility in Orlando and also in Paris.
Even though the amusement and entertainment company has been attempting a healthier […]

While I am not a huge fan of chain restaurants, there are a couple I don’t mind.  Up a Creek is in that category. Another venture by the creator of Applebees, my first visit was several years ago when my mom and I drove by it during a day excursion and decided to give it […]

No muss, no fuss, isn’t that the way the saying goes? However it goes, I say it to myself every time I walk into Muss & Turner’s. A small eatery in the southern edge of Smyrna, Georgia, this deli/pub/wine & beer bar/specialty food store brings a little bit of Buckhead’s urban elegance to the suburbs […]
