About one block from Fremont Street…and a stone’s throw from The Mob Museum (how appropriate!) you will find a great spot for dinner. Especially if you’re craving a salad bar and a huge hunk of prime rib. Check out the Market Street Cafe in the California Hotel… A “local” steered us […]
The Chart House – Las Vegas, Nevada
If you follow my blog daily, you know we LOVE the Chart House in Fort Lauderdale. So we were anxious to try The Chart House in Las Vegas. So…How was it? Our friends LOVED it. And we did too! Fred and I with our dear friends Candy and Rick. What a […]
Tafolino’s Fine Mexican Cuisine – Golden, Colorado
It always amazes me how close to Denver we get before we can begin to see the faint outline of this majestic Rocky Mountains. But after several more hours we reached our destination…Lakewood. And after unpacking the car, and hugs for Hubby’s sister, we all visited a family owned neighborhood Mexican restaurant for dinner.. […]
Cables Pub & Grill – Fort Morgan, Colorado
Lunchtime found us close to Fort Morgan, Colorado. So off the freeway we flew…and straight to the center of town. And like so many wonderful small towns in America…we found a town square…complete with a gazebo. And right across the street was the spot we picked for lunch… The sign said […]
The I-80 Lounge – Underwood, Nebraska
Our destination? DENVER! Well…actually…Lakewood, for now. And, as usual, we were facing the dreaded trip across that pancake known as Nebraska. But before we hit that Nebraska border we began to pass acres and acres filled with wind turbines. They’re EVERYWHERE in Western Iowa! FYI…Iowa ranks second in the nation for the amount of […]
The Kalona Brewing Company – Kalona, Iowa
The older we get, the more we realize we don’t want to put things off…especially the things we enjoy. So last year we threw a last minute “mini-class reunion”…and we had so much fun we decided to make it an ANNUAL event since we’re not “spring chickens” anymore. So last night was our Second Annual […]
Bekah’s Westside Cafe – Lebanon, Indiana
When we make the return trip to Iowa from Indiana, we have made it a point to stop in Lebanon, Indiana for breakfast. Years ago we stopped at this little restaurant in Main Street…and quite honestly, the food was NOT good. So we began stopping at a dreaded franchise spot along the freeway instead. […]
Courthouse Tavern and Grill – Sycamore, Illinois
After a short nap, and a shower (to wash away the memory of all of those Illinois toll booths!) it was time for a nice, cold beer on a beautiful summer day. So we headed out of the hotel and strolled down the street to a place called the Courthouse Tavern and Grill… […]
Prophet Restaurant – Prophetstown, Illinois
As you know, we’re all about those little dives…those Mom and Pop places. And since our trip today took us back to an area we visited several years ago, we decided to drive a few extra miles to the lunch spot in Prophetstown which we loved on our last trip through that part of Illinois. […]
Bakers Square Restaurant & Bakery – Clive, Iowa
Sometimes, the person who takes your order in a restaurant is even more memorable than the breakfast they deliver to your table. And our wonderful server, Sherrie, would make ANY meal taste even better! Bakers Square…Clive Iowa Let’s just say Sherrie is a one-woman “Good Morning In Clive Iowa” welcoming committee, and our family loved […]
