What’s for breakfast at the Jet Runway Cafe? How about Eggs Benedict…with a side of JETS and HELICOPTERS…and Fried Bread Pudding for dessert? I’ve always been fascinated by airplanes and airports. (I guess it’s in my blood.) My dad was a mechanic who worked on airplanes in WW2. Dad’s brother, Uncle George, was an airplane pilot […]
Moonlite Diner – Fort Lauderdale, Florida
First impressions can be deceiving, and that was the case when we checked out a new breakfast spot recently. Moonlite Diner looked awesome from the outside. It looked like the kind of place we drive miles to find. A throwback to earlier days and Mom and Pop gems in the small towns in America. As […]
Paradise Buffet & Cafe – Las Vegas, Nevada
I was reminiscing the other day about our fun trip to the Rose Bowl and Las Vegas, and I realized I hadn’t posted about this fun memory on Meemaw Eats. Hope you enjoy! -Meemaw ————————— For some reason, our sons were determined to “dine” at a Las Vegas BUFFET during our recent trip, and it […]

Mudbugs Cajun Cafe – Carmel, Indiana
UPDATE… I’M SORRY TO SAY THIS WONDERFUL RESTAURANT HAS PERMANENTLY CLOSED. You don’t have to get on an airplane to explore other cuisines and cultures, and our lunch today was a prime example.

The Vine – Downtown Iowa City, Iowa

The Bar’ber Shop Tavern – Coralville, Iowa
