Well Fed On the Town

A wedding had brought me to Austin, TX, however, to be honest, there are such great restaurants in Austin, I don’t really need a reason to go. I admit though, the wedding was very nice. The shaded, sun dappled clearing in the trees was relatively cool that Saturday morning before the day gave way to […]

I love a good buffet. The problem is, so few of them are good. That’s why I was very pleased to find a gem like India Garden in Omaha. Most buffets will play is safe, offering up the items on their menu that have the widest appeal to the average diner, staying away from less […]

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 […]

Proper French Onion Soup should be served in a small crockery style bowl. It should be covered with a stringy, relatively unsalted, melty cheese (Fontina or Gruyere) baked on top. Below the cheese should be a round crouton of bread floating on the soup, soaking in the broth from below and adhering to the cheese […]

This, the second opportunity I had to dine at one of the twenty-two global Nobu locations, was every bit as memorable as the first. An opportunity to enjoy a meal at Nobu Waikiki provided all of the inspiration necessary to arrange a day trip to Oahu, while vacationing on Kauai in Hawaii.
During a trip to […]

Last week I had the pleasure of dining at Spezia, in Omaha, NE. Now, I have written about Spezia before, so I won’t cover that ground again. Suffice it to say, I had an enjoyable business dinner with great food and company.
However, while I was looking over my available choices from the menu, I kept […]

Located a few miles from where the road ends, just 10 minutes west of the small village of Hanalei, on the North Shore of the most remote Hawaiian Island, Kauai, I will admit that you would have to go a bit out of your way just to dine at Mediterranean Gourmet. However, if you happen […]

Now just wait a minute! How do you define “Authentic Chinese?”
Well, in this case, it was simple. They handed us two menus when we sat for Dinner, the “American Menu” and the “Chinese Menu.” A little background is in order though.
Seattle was just a day stop for us as we began our vacation. We hopped […]
