Houlihan’s Opens in Danbury, CT


It isn’t often that a chain restaurant lures me in, but the new Houlihan’s restaurant in Danbury, Connecticut has done just that. Think you know Houlihan’s and that all are the same? Think again. This is a far cry from the Houlihan’s of my youth.
Immediately upon stepping in the front doors the difference becomes apparent. […]

Review: Atlanta Bread Company


I very rarely eat breakfast out. I can probably count on one hand how many times I have eaten breakfast out this year, and still have extra fingers leftover. An early morning had me leaving the house without grabbing something to eat, so I dashed into Atlanta Bread Company for a quick bite to eat.

Fishing for Sushi in the Desert


Las Vegas…known for some of the best cuisine in the world…and the most expensive. Nonetheless, I need my weekly sushi fix, and I am not willing to pat $50 a visit to get it. Thus began our pursuit for the best quality AND value sushi restaurant in the Las Vegas area. Have […]

My First “Healthy Fast Food” Experience

This new franchise recently set-up shop in Henderson, NV (Las Vegas) and currently has a few […]

Mystery Flavors of Jamba Juice


About 7 years ago a friend of mine out in California told me the wonder that is Jamba Juice. She picked one up every day on her way to class and it tied her over until dinner. She loved it, swore by it, and teased all us east of the Mississippi for having no idea […]

Starbucks & Trans Fats


I was so shocked yesterday to read that Starbucks is eliminating trans fat from it’s tasty pastries in the next few months or so. In the New York metro area, that starts today. And branches in San Francisco, Boston, Los Angeles and Chicago are expected to follow suit and most outlets are expected to be trans […]

A Burger Joint with a Sense of Humor


Billing themselves as “the last great hamburger stand,” Fatburger has just started creeping their way onto the East coast, although those out West have been enjoying them for awhile now. Not really a restaurant, but not really fast food, it falls somewhere in between. When I saw this sign outside their location, I laughed out […]
