Lately I’ve thought — and written — a lot about service. We have experienced the superb and the surreal recently. It’s interesting, then, that it was a less than flawless day at Jim ‘N Nick’s that inspired me to finally review them.
So on our less than flawless day, we ordered an appetizer and two entrees. [...]
The phenomenon of Sonoran hot dogs has been big news in the food world lately. Food magazines, NPR, many bloggers and even John T.

A few weeks ago, Angela, Patric, and I headed to New Orleans to do a little looking around and a whole lot of eating. We stayed in what will likely be our standard New Orleans hotel from now on, the Olde Town Inn in the Marigny.
If you’ve ever peeked into courtyards in the French Quarter [...]
As you are all aware, we are constantly looking for our next best meal. I think that this time, though, we have eaten the meal that no other will ever top. To be honest, we weren’t even looking for it; it seems like it just found us.

After a recent stressful day, Angela and I decided we didn’t feel like cooking. Since it was the middle of the week, we decided to take a chance on Restaurant Iris, even though we didn’t have reservations. We were lucky enough to get the only open table.
For Angela, on her stressful day, good service meant [...]
Mama and I took a day off so that we could vote and run errands. The polling place was practically deserted. I am far too cynical for that to surprise me. For lunch that day, we headed to Interim, and it wasn’t packed. That surprised me.
Chef Jackson Kramer may not look at it this way, [...]
Almost everyone wants to sample the local flavor when they’re in a different city. Some cities can be absolutely overwhelming in the wealth of unique choices available to eaters both timid and adventurous. Savannah is most assuredly one of those cities.
There are plentiful choices available for any taste or budget. The historic downtown alone provides [...]
There just aren’t enough words that mean delicious in the English language. We finally made it over to Restaurant Iris for a taste of what Kelly English has brought to the Memphis dining scene. If you haven’t made it yet, go. Go now. Have you gone yet? OK. Go again. Choose anything on the menu. [...]
