Restaurant reviews – the opinions expressed are solely my own. Often, though it will appear that they’re based on a single visit, they’re based on more than one. And I’m willing to hear from folks who disagree – I do know that restaurants, including my own, have their off days.
A several days visit with our folks, long overdue for the two of us coming in from overseas, but there was this little viral thing. It was some much-needed family time, even after the roadtrip. First stop as we headed north out of Nashville, with Parlor Doughnuts fueling our systems (well, two of us anyway),… Read More I’ve Been Everywhere Man…
On to Music City. Sorry you weren’t here with us, but we’re chugging along. First stop, one of the Birmingham branches of Big Bad Breakfast, 1926 29th Avenue S, Homewood, since we’d been thwarted with our plan to visit the original when passing through Oxford, MS. Chicken and waffles, a breakfast scramble of sorts, or, my… Read More Nashville Without You
Heading south out of Memphis last Saturday morning, our goal was a late breakfast or brunch at the original of the now multi-location chain of Big Bad Breakfast. We headed for Oxford, Mississippi, where, unfortunately, we discovered that it was graduation weekend at U-Miss, and on arrival at the restaurant, found there was a minimum of… Read More Down in Alabama, Mississippi…

It was kind of chilly and looked like rain, so we decided to just grab something light (we had had two barbecue lunches already) across the street at Flight, 39 S. Main Street. We all just ordered small salads – two… Read More Walking in Memphis

Basically we headed south on Rt. 55. And here and there we… Read More Meet me in St. Louis, Louis
It’s time for my annual trip to the US, which hasn’t happened the last two years because of some pesky little critter that’s become a political football of enormous proportions. This time, I decided not to go to New York – I wanted to see family in the Midwest, and even for the wrap-up at… Read More ‘Burbs of Chicago
Another round of Italian – pizza, lasagna, upscale pasta! Romagnoli, Av. Libertador 292, Retiro – It was love at first sit. I mean, they gave me a table, and I glanced across at the chair in front of me, and it says 19 – Michigan – 58. I was born in 1958, and while not… Read More On the Italian Front
I was putting together a new Bite Marks and realized that all the places had a Middle Eastern theme, so let’s just dedicate this post to the Levant! Shawarma King, Mario Bravo 1112, Palermo – A fairly new spot, I noticed it a few months back walking by and put it on my list. Not… Read More A Middle Eastern Medley
