I had a much longer than normal layover at ATL this week and was pleasantly surprised to find a PF Chang’s at the top of the escalator in Terminal A. Now I am known to dine at PF Chang’s for larger work functions because the food is always good and plentiful. I usually get the…
Recently, I switched from being a 20-year United flyer to Delta. There are plenty of reasons for this, but the biggest one was that I felt United just stopped trying. But that is another post for another day. With this new airline comes new layover airports and with new airports come new places to eat.…
After reading on The Daily Meal that Dottie’s Diner in the quaint town of Woodbury, CT had been voted one of the top donuts in America, I had to check it out. To be honest, I really don’t like donuts. They always make me feel horrible after eating them, so I don’t eat them often.…
When I was a kid, many of my friends would frequent Benihana’s for their birthdays, good report cards or special family functions. My family didn’t have much extra money so I didn’t have my first tepentaki experience until I was 24 years old. Though the show is always the same, I still enjoy it and…
When an establishment’s motto is, “Put your rump on a stump” it is a place I need to check out. This was a place I needed to check out. The specialty of the house is their roasted clams which are served by the dozen. So I put my rump on a stump and ordered up…
A small sign hung over the entrance to an alley on Hanover Street in Boston’s North End. The sign was simple and read, Bricco Panetteria. We were intrigued and entered the alley. About 100 feet down was a glowing door with a sign to the right of it listing off which breads were available at…
We happen to find ourselves in Harvard Square in Cambridge, MA recently. It was a cold and wet night and perfect for a post-dinner treat. We had been wanting to try L.A. Burdick’s since a friend of ours told us how amazing the hot chocolate was. We arrived just before closing at 8:55pm. The place…
When someone advertises a 101-Layer Lasagna, my foodie curiosity takes over. This what happened when we was meeting a friend and his wife (who happens to be a celebrity in the surfing world) for dinner in NY. They requested we go for Italian near their hotel, Le Meridian on Park Ave. So, after a quick…
I love breakfast. I love pancakes, omelets, waffles and anything else I can put jelly and syrup on. In my research of good places to eat in San Fran I came upon some very good reviews for a place that was walking distance from my hotel in Fisherman’s Wharf, the Hollywood Cafe. When we arrived,…
Some days a body needs a bit of polluting. Maybe an extra drink (or 10), or maybe a meal with way too much grease. Doc Crow’s in Louisville, KY was the site of one of these meals. This dark and lively place feature a menu that would make any cardiologists wince. So many things on…
While wandering around Sedona we happened upon René. This little place at the back of the Tlaquepaque Village was cute and inviting so we made a reservation to check it out. Upon arriving we were promptly greeted and seated. Our server was very professional and though a bit stiff in the beginning of the meal,…
I will tell you one thing, I hate touristy places and chain restaurants. So, when I was in Munich recently and a few friends called to get a beer at the Hofbräuhaus, I hesitated for a second and then thought, what the hell. We arrived and ordered a couple of liters of the darker beer…
I have been wanting to try Strip Steak at the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino for many years and I finally got my turn. Previous friends who had dined here have remarked on the amazing cuisine (and stratospheric prices). So on this night six of us settled into our booth and ordered some cocktails and…
After what seemed to be an eternity waiting for the hostess to notice there were five people waiting in line, I was promptly seated at a table on the “outside” of the restaurant. The waitress was quick to come over to see what I wanted to drink and, to save some time, I gave her…
Had half of a day to kill today in one of my favorite cities, Zurich. Rich in history and architecture, Zurich is a quaint walking city with narrow alleys, twisty streets and cafes all around. After spending most of the time walking around the area near the river, I worked my way back to the…
Had dinner with some friends tonight and we opened a bottle of Catdaddy Carolina Moonshine. Years ago I was given some real moonshine out of a mason jar that was a cross between lighter fluid and paint remover. One shot and I was done for the night (the little I remember), so I was a…
Providence is an amazing city. As the capital of the tiny state of Rhode Island, this capital is nothing but tiny on charm, character and style. Two of us went to the infamous Waterfires on a nice June evening. After a romantic gondola ride with a cold bottle of Sauvignon Blanc, we strolled over to…
