OK…Did you recognize this house?? Does THIS help? Or maybe THIS? (Scowls are another clue…we’re NOT actually angry. And Hubby’s 5 o’clock shadow really makes him look like a criminal…but he’s really harmless!) Have you figured it out? The black object in our picture is another clue […]
Home Town Cafe – Millersburg, Iowa
Sometimes we’re up for an adventure, and today was one of those days. I decided I was NOT cooking tonight, and instead of heading to one of our usual hangouts in Iowa City, I asked hubby if he was up for a “road trip”. So we set off…on the Road Less Traveled…for our 40 mile […]
The Summit Restaurant – Iowa City, Iowa
If you haven’t been to the Summit Restaurant lately…GO. Go NOW. The Summit is located in a prime spot in downtown Iowa City, directly across from the University of Iowa Campus known as the Pentacrest. It’s a beautiful location with outside dining as well as a large indoor seating area. And now you can […]
Denney’s – Lebanon, Indiana
You’ve heard me say it before…I’m not a fan of franchise restaurants. But on on the final stretch of our trek home to Iowa we stopped in Lebanon, Indiana for breakfast at the local Denney’s. When we walked into the nearly empty restaurant, the hostess was leaning on the counter talking to a “local”. She […]
Waffle House – Tifton, Georgia
Our overnight hotel in Tifton, Georgia was located across the street from a iconic Southern landmark… I’m never really sure why we eat EVER there. Really. I don’t like white bread. Their menu is minimal. They don’t have omelets or Hollandaise sauce…and their prices are really high for the quality of the food […]
The Blackwater Inn – Astor Park, Florida
About four hours North of Fort Lauderdale is one of our favorite spots to stop for lunch… The Blackwater Inn at Astor Park. And today we were NOT alone! (There must have been some Senior Citizen’s Hell’s Angels convention nearby. Just sayin…) We love to stop here for lunch since […]
Santa Lucia Ristorante – Fort Lauderdale, Florida
**UPDATE**2017** Unfortunately this wonderful restaurant has closed! 🙁 (We’re VERY sad!) Our 44th wedding anniversary was fantastic from start to finish, and our choice of restaurants absolutely set the tone for our memorable evening. Santa Lucia Ristorante Ah…Santa Lucia…Where to begin. PERFECTION… As we stepped through the door, we were immediately greeted by several staff […]
Texas Hold ‘Em BBQ – Fort Lauderdale, Florida
This year we chose to skip the usual ham dinner for Easter and instead we headed to a cute little place…for BBQ! TEXAS HOLD’EM BBQ is located on the water just a few blocks away from our condo. I’ve always wanted to give it a try…so we skipped our usual Sunday night Chinese restaurant […]
Michael’s Cafe – Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Recently, we enjoyed a leisurely breakfast outside at a cute little spot close to home…Michael’s Cafe. https://plus.google.com/109624306029893504239/about?gl=us&hl=en The chef, Michael, is French. And he serves an omelet that I’ve never seen anywhere else… His French Omelet. It is absolutely delicious…so puffy…and light as air. It’s made with three eggs, ham, […]
Hobo’s Grill – Wilton Manors, Florida
It took a minute to realize how the owners of this neat bar and grill came up with the name. But the owners, HOward and BOb simply combined their names (and their talents) to create the great place in Wilton Manors…HOBO’S. A cute idea! Recently we stopped there for lunch…and we realized […]
