Before we headed out from Cascade (more about that in my previous blog entry), the roommate and I decided to grab a soda at what is basically the town’s “last chance” gas station, Howdy’s Gas & Grub. We didn’t grab any food there but, believe me, we could have.I’ve never tried a chicken gizzard before, […]

A Night at The Ashley Inn
onMy roomie is a very spontaneous person. Here’s a perfect example: last week when I was griping about wanting to get out of town, even if only for a day, she said that her kids were on spring break the following week, so if I wanted to take Monday off we could drive up to […]
Bodacious Pig
onA while back, I posted a list of restaurants that had failed to impress me over on my Facebook page, some of which I’d written up, and a few that I hadn’t bothered with. I asked which of them was worthy of a second chance. El Gallo Giro (my review is here) was the overwhelming winner, but […]
2nd Street Deli
onI like sandwiches. A lot. The convenience factor is nice of course (assuming it’s a sane sandwich, if I need a knife and fork it’s hard to think of it as a sandwich…I’m looking at you, open-faced “sandwiches”), but it’s the sheer versatility that is the best thing about them. The possibilities are basically endless. […]

Like a Hawai’ian Boomerang…
onMy luck with Hawaiian-style food has been pretty hit and miss, especially for someone who has had so little of it. Way back in the day before I decided I needed a domain name and a blogging platform so I could use a few thousand words to describe a cheeseburger, I did my reviewing on […]
Pad Thai House
onWell, since I’m starting to get backed up on Thai restaurants I need to review, I might as well get one of them out of the way. Pad Thai House has become a favorite over the last several months, not just of mine but my roommate, my mother, my sister, my sister’s boyfriend, etc. They […]
Sometimes the past should remain just that…
onWell, time to clear the inbox of a few more places I’m having trouble making myself write about. Today’s theme is “What the hell happened to these places I used to love?!”The Original Pancake HouseJust after the turn of the century, I spent a couple of years living in Upstate New York. My tastes […]
Crooked Fence Brewing Co. Barrelhouse
onOkay, so I know my last review was of a brewpub as well. Sue me. The roommate and I hit two pretty much back-to-back. Crooked Fence Brewing Co.’s Barrelhouse is a little closer to home and with plenty of parking, so that made it a little easier for us to make it to.The Barrelhouse is […]
