Being a Chicago native, it is hard for a hot dog from another city to grab my attention or tastebuds. I was blown away by the offerings from Stuggy’s in the Fells Point neighborhood of Baltimore. Their large menu selection can have you standing, staring and salivating for minutes on end. You can get an…
The Old Monk has been on my list since I moved to Dallas last year. I finally went and was pleasantly surprised. First things first, they have great Bloody Mary’s for a great price ($3 on weekends). I was going back and forth between the breakfast tacos, the Fish and Chips and the Chipotle-Avocado Chicken…
Mexican Sugar definitely lived up to the hype – what a fun restaurant! I have to start with the atmosphere…there is a huge bar, lounge areas fully equip with comfy couches, high tops, and large booths and tables. This place is really good for any occasion…girls night out, first date, family dinner or in my…
Another Dallas gem! This place is unbelievable. You feel like you are in a fish market when you walk, minus the smell. It’s a long restaurant with a chalk wall on one side listing all the specials, drinks and desserts which change twice daily. I was torn between the Mahi-Mahi and salmon, and because the…
As I review the menu before arrival as I usually do, I was very much looking forward to this meal. I always get excited when I see Blackened Mahi Mahi with mango and jalapeño salsa. It was a perfect Ohio night, and the atmosphere of Mancy’s BlueWater Grill was great inside and out. (Although I’d…
One of the first facts I learned about the great city of Dallas was that the Kardashians loved eating at Mi Cocina. And if they like it, well, I must try it out. I finally got my chance to eat there and was very happy with the chips and salsa, which is usually how I rate…
I can’t believe I’ve lived in Dallas for 8 months, and within 1 mile, of the Twisted Root and had not enjoyed one of their fabulous burgers. Twisted Root Burger Co. has one of the coolest atmospheres for a burger joint that I have ever been to. The menu is very extensive, however I…
From the minute I moved to Dallas, friends and co-workers have been telling me to check out Maple & Motor. After weeks of seeing it on my long list of places to eat at, and drooling as I carefully looked over the menu, I finally made it in! The cheeseburger was juicy and pink, cooked…
One of the finest meals I’ve had while living in Dallas came from Komali. From the atmosphere to the margaritas to the salmon cooked to perfection, I was thoroughly impressed and am eager to go back and try other menu items. This upscale contemporary Mexican restaurant doesn’t give you your typical Texas Tex-Mex options of…
The downtown Dallas restaurant scene continues to amaze me. The Woolworth transformed me back to Chicago in the 1940s. While I was drinking my beer, and watching the people scurry past as I watched from my table one the second floor the aroma from the kitchen continued to enhance my excitement about the meal I…
