Back in Omaha we had a favorite breakfast place… Bailey’s. Even though I never officially reviewed them on this blog, they were awesome… in fact, the last day we were in Omaha we started off breakfast there, as we did at least a few times a month (I ended up taking photos for a review, so look to one in the future). Ever since arriving in Florida, Jess...

When most people think of tropical fruit they think of bananas or mango or even guava… most don’t think of the durian. To tell the truth, many people in this part of the world have never heard of this fruit, but once you see one, they’re pretty hard to forget. Seriously, check this beast out… it’s like a punk version of a coconut:
Hail to the...

While doing my shopping for Thanksgiving at Whole Foods, this week, I didn’t actually think I’d find one of the best taste combinations I’d ever eaten. As I walked past the big tower of chocolate my eyes instinctively locked in on a word that is, sadly, not often seen outside the meat dept: Bacon. I almost dismissed it, assuming I had seen Mo’s Bacon...

This is a first for me on this site… a bad review. Not just a bad review, but a horrible one… one that has me preparing to go back there and speak to their management.
We’ll start at the beginning. Jess and I had been out all day shopping and were craving a burger. We happened to be in the vicinity of Red Robin and thought we’d finally give it...

A little over a month ago, Jess and I were driving over to Jason’s Deli to grab a quick bite to eat and we noticed a new restaurant opening almost next door. It was called “Smashburger” and I had never heard of it. Doing a bit of research led me to find out that it is both a relatively new (first store opened in Denver back in June 2007) and fast expanding:
The...

Jessica is addicted to Gushers. There, I said it. Her horrible secret is out (sorry!). Each week after I shop at the Farmer’s Market, with my car filled with fresh fruits and veggies, I drive over to the supermarket and sneak down that isle to satisfy her cravings. This week was like every other, looking through all the brightly colored packaging for the one that...

Ah, Fall… apple season. Once again our favorite apple, the Honeycrisp is in season for a limited time and we must rush to eat as many as we can. The Honeycrisp is as good as an apple can get, isn’t it? It’s sweet, crunchy, juicy, crisp… everything you want in an apple.
Until now.
A couple of weeks ago Jess sent me this article with a ton of excitement:

A couple of weeks ago I was visiting my local wine and spirits shop (Spirit World) and I got to talking about the different absinthe that they had for sale. The person I spoke with hadn’t tasted them, but told me that he heard that if I was going to try one, St. George should be that one. I thought about it and decided to do some research.
This is now the most impressive...

I usually like to start my mornings with a nice cup of tea (thanks to the Tea Smith, love that place), but this morning I decided to forgo my usual brew and sit down to a cup of coffee. Well, not a normal cup of coffee, per se, I decided to give Joe Fizz a try. I saw this stuff at the supermarket the other day and just couldn’t resist.
What a happy looking guy!
It's...

Happy Labor Day, my US friends (and happy Labour Day, to the Canadians)! Today is usually celebrated with a nice hunk of meat grilled over some sort of fire, but unfortunately I don’t have a grill. I know, that is a very sad fact and I am aware that I need to remedy it. Luckily the good folks at Shiner have come to my rescue in the form of a beer. Now, this isn’t...

Last Saturday I was at the Farmer’s Market when it opened so I could get the best pick of the veggies, nothing much different than usual, but that was about to change. While talking to one of my favorite vendors, I was told that there was something I just had to see. A minute or two of rummaging later I was handed something that looked like this:
If I didn't...

This weekend the yearly Ribfest was held at the Mid-America center (well, the parking lot) and Jess and I decided to head down and do a head to head taste test of all the ribs. We arrived on Saturday (the third day) around noonish and went right to work procuring the meaty goodness. So, let’s get to reviewing in the order tasted:
Texas Outlaws – 3.5/10 Average...

Have you ever stopped to look at all the restaurants you pass while you drive around? Competing for your attention among the bright fast food signs there are usually small “mom and pop” businesses sitting there, waiting for you to stop by. Recently I found myself being invited to join snekse (from Gastronomic Fight Club) and his family for lunch at Han Kuk Kwan. ...
