This has been a long time coming. I started my current job almost three years ago. With that career change, came a lot of travel for business reasons. And a lot of eating in restaurants, diners, cafes, at food trucks, food stands, in bistros, and holes-in-the-wall.
I've found hidden gems, ate some truly terrible food (pierogies at a Chinese buffet) and marveled at some of the creativeness people can concoct when cooking.
This is meant to be a fun blog, highlighting some of the restaurants that I have enjoyed. The only rule is that these are non-franchise locations, with only a couple of exceptions. If possible, they are locally owned and run. They are usually unique and don't exist anywhere else. Pictures for the first few blogs will be stock images as I don't have a lot of food photos currently, something I plan to remedy as this moves forward.
I'll give the good and the bad. What I liked and what I didn't. Rest assured, my opinion is king. If I say a place is worth investigating, I promise that you should eat there if you are driving through town. Otherwise skip it.
I'm not trained nor eloquent, my palate isn't as refined as others, but I know what tastes good and what doesn't. My father-in-law years ago told me that he was too old to waste time and meals on bad food and I feel that in the past couple of years, that this has begun to describe me. I hate going to a new place and finding out that it was a waste of time, money and belly space, all of which are unfortunately finite.
I have eaten at most of these places at least twice and often more than that. They are all places that you can enjoy a meal for not too much money, ie no $40 plates. Most of these places are a lot less expensive than that. Most will be in the $20 range.
And with that, here we go.
