I am completly is awe of the taste, showmanship, style and atmosphere that is now available in Columbus Georgia.  Cheers to Jamie Keating and team for making our night special!

Fresh fresh and fresh!

What a great lunch today with the friendly staff at Meritage!  This new dish was a long shot on name but was delicious!  Check it out!

Breakfast is bed!

My first visit to a fondue restaurant! I will say you should go with people you can agree with on food choices. If you’re spending that much you should be getting what you really want and not compromising. For the cheese course we got the swiss. None of us loved it. The taste of the [...]

Come hungry, be adventurous, and don’t fill up on Diet Coke. Great night out with friends and honestly better with more people than fewer! Surprisingly affordable, too! We started with French Pear martinis. After I got past the dry champagne on top, I really enjoyed the mildly sweet flavor which was a great complement to [...]

Celebrating 13 years of marriage at the same place where we had our reception.

Homemade brown rice sushi rolls. California roll, smoked salmon avocado, and veggie with carrots cucumber and avocado. This was easily the most difficult meal I have ever made. “Patients is virtue” rings true for this challenge, but well worth it!

Chicken tempura, roasted potatoes, side salad, side wine, and side bread…

Wonderful assortment of cheeses, pastries, and marinated vegetables. Great parfait of granola, yogurt, and ripe raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries. The orange juice is so fresh!! Didn’t get a picture of the eggs but they were wonderfully fluffy scrambled. And Ricky Scaggs!!!

We’re here for the #NRB12 conference and staying at the Gaylord Hotel so we met for dinner at Ravello. WOW… I was just blown away by the menu! Couldn’t decide on any ONE thing so thankfully they have a wonderful sampler of appetizers that Sandy and I shared! Cotto e Crudo is a sampling of [...]

Elegant fine dining experience!

Great time at Buckhead tonight.  Prime rib and encrusted Panko salmon was a treat!

Black and Blue Salad – Where else can you get filet mignon for lunch for under eleven bucks?? Spinach Salad – Gorgonzola crumbles and warm bacon vinaigrette! Yes, please!! Espresso Chocolate Cake with Buttercream Icing AND… Real Heavy Cream in the coffee!!!    

This tiny place is full of big taste. The menu is simple, and the choices unique.  I had the chipotle wedge salad with blackened grilled chicken, and then a Mississippi Mud Pie for dessert. That dessert was like the most moist chocolate cake I’ve eaten in a long time. If you’re downtown in Portland, give [...]

Enjoyed a dinner out with the wife.  Love Houlihans!

I am back at the East Ender, here in downtown Portland, Maine. This trip I brought my co-worker Ray along to enjoy the food. I love how this place makes some of their own ingredients, and sends me little mid-course treats to test out. The staff is great, and very personable, which goes a long [...]

To be honest, majority of the “sit down” places in Portland are just plain good compared to other places I eat at home. I guess it’s because there are so many restaurants here that you have to serve good food in order to survive. So that brings me to the East Ender. I started with [...]

Oh my… crab stuffed trout with PURPLE sweat potatoes made my evening fabulous.  Followed by the bread pudding of my dreams.  It doesn’t get any better than this.
