Finally a dry, warm, sunny day. Ever-Lovin’ and I wanted to see Dallas Blooms while there were still blooms to be seen. Let it be known. The gardens are gorgeous, and there is plenty to see. (The Arboretum is always beautiful – in any season.) See what greeted us even before we entered the gardens. […]
This blog is a little different. I have good news and bad news to share. Do you want the good news or the bad news first? I will share the bad news first. – I always like to get bad news out of the way. The “Don’t You Just Love a Bargain,” store is closing. […]
Recently it dawned on me. I have been reviewing hamburger “joints” in Dallas, and I have forgotten to tell you about one of my favorite diners that is right here in Richardson, Texas. My neighborhood. What a shame. Del’s Charcoal Burgers has been in Richardson for as long as I can remember, and we have […]
Thank you Amy! While at Buckner the Mrs. called her foodie daughter Amy for dining suggestions. (We are always looking forward to our next meal.) Where could we eat in East Dallas after our shift of sorting shoes? Amy came up with a winner. I had heard about Good 2 Go Taco (The name […]
This is another recommendation from Excellent Cook Nancy. She knows everything. Amazing. Chicken Scratch is kin to the restaurant Smoke (click here to read the blog about Smoke). They have the same daddy – Tim Byers. This restaurant gives new meaning to the terms reuse, recycle, reduce. As we drove into the parking lot, […]
This is not by any means an exhaustive list of places to eat along I-45 between Dallas and Houston (I would like your recommendations), but Excellent Cook Nancy mentioned that Buc-ee’s, Woody’s, and Sam’s were noteworthy, so we checked them out. After all, Excellent Cook Nancy does have experience driving I-45 to Houston. There are […]
When searching for places to eat in Houston, we came across another recommendation from Guy Fieri of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives on the Food Channel. Greek food appeals to us (We miss Opa’s.) and thought we would give Niko Niko’s a try. First indication that this is a popular diner/dive was the parking lot. We […]
When researching top rated restaurants in Houston, The Original Ninfa’s on Navigation appeard on more than one list. Remember the 30 Essential Texas Restaurants to Visit Before You Die – The Original Ninfa’s on Navigation was on that list. Allison Cook’s Top 100 Restaurants in Houston lists The Original Ninfa’s on Navigation at #34 – […]
Betty and Robert’s son Paul told them to go to Maple and Motor for cheeseburgers. He proclaimed it “perhaps the best burger he has ever eaten”. Being good friends, Betty and Robert called and invited us to meet them there. Now I realize that most of you probably have heard of Maple and Motor. As […]
I read about Stampede 66 before it opened. I read about Stampede 66 when it opened. I read the reviews for Stampede 66 after it opened. I so wanted to dine at Stampede 66. So I gathered a group of friends, and made reservations at Stampede 66. You see, Stephan Pyles grew up in Big […]
