There are 3 things in life that I truly enjoy: running, traveling and eating. (Not necessarily in that order). So when I saw Martha Lou’s Kitchen mentioned in an article on the Top Southern Restaurants in the U.S., I immediately signed up for the Charleston Marathon.

Went here today and oh me oh my…what a treat! We did the AYCE thinking why not try three for an additional 6 bucks or so. That was a challenge we failed along with some of the dishes.

Best meal during the 2012 NYE celebration weekend. The service was great, attentive but not overwhelming. She mentioned that K-Paul’s does not have a freezer like twenty times when we were asking about the menu. I was amused by her almost robotic responses.

After two weeks of craving fried chicken, I caved in and ended up at Four Way. My boyfriend and I decided that Sunday would be the perfect day to try out this restaurant. We got there a little early in anticipation of the church crowd. By time we were done with our meal (around 1:30), we were glad we had come early because the restaurant was filling up.

With this being the first time going here, I’ve been always told that you WILL be in a food coma after, and trust there’s no disappointment in that. Because of the location, it’s not going to be one of the finer restaurants in Houston, however, it does set the bar as being on of my favorite Houston restaurants.

This place is country. I mean, run down, folding chairs and tables country. In the middle of nowhere in Kentucky country. But good goddamn do they have the best fried chicken I have ever had the pleasure of shoving into my face hole.

What’s worth repeating. This is a great restaurant to enjoy southern style cooking at it finest. If you’re a fan of Colonel Sanders you’ll most likely like this restaurant named for his wife. I recommend the all you can eat chicken dinner.Not just because I enjoy the chicken but more for the soup, salad, dinner rolls, and eight country style vegetables that are included in the price of the dinner.

To me, Dinah’s is all about “Dutch Apple Pancakes”, Fried Chicken, and the elderly. A fricken landmark in LA since the 50’s, I hadn’t dined here for years (no, I wasn’t at their grand opening…I’m not THAT old). This past Sunday, I couldn’t believe my eyes – this place was absolutely packed. Every table was full, and a good 20 people waiting to be seated. Luckily, my family party of 30 had reserved tables in the back room.

Apparently hot fried chicken is the only thing Nashville can claim as its own in terms of culinary items.

When the friends that I visited in Colorado over Thanksgiving asked if I was interested in heading to the mountains last Saturday and grabbing lunch at Beau Jo’s, I was elated! This has been my favourite pizza joint ever since I was a kid, when we’d stop here for dinner to wait out the traffic on our way back home to Denver from learning to ski at Winter Park with my mom and sister, or later - on trips home from snowboarding at Copper.

Luckily I work a block away so Mulberry is always there when I need to satiate my pizza craving. The place is kinda hidden between Pinkberry and California Pita, and my coworker and I joke that their extra wide door is for people like us who order and finish a whole box in one sitting.

This is my favorite pizza. The BEST I have ever eaten. The crust is closer to pastry dough than bread dough, and the cheese is rich and delicious. Their homemade sausage is flavorful and juicy.

Oh, my goodness. This place is incredible. Their caesar is delicious (but could use a few more anchovies!), and their quail egg, white rose potato, and guanciale pizza is completely out of this world. My husband and I eat a *lot* of pizza, and enjoy it in its many styles, but we were blown away and hadn’t encountered anything quite like it. Also, service was outstanding.
Friendly, accommodating, pressure-less. Wish we hadn’t failed to get our server’s name.

Totally one of the best pizza places around. I love their perfectly oven grilled pies. It comes out hot and sizzling, and truly makes your mouth water. A true taste of fresh gourmet product is made totally clear with their slices from heaven.

A very good selection of Swedish item including…pickled herring & cheese plates, Swedish meatballs and perch. Also alternative menu items for those not so adventurous. A definite must visit if you are in Door County.

The outside of the restaurant is totally unassuming in a strip mall next to the DMV. I live half a mile behind this place, drive past it all the time, and never once considered coming here. Then I attended a post-baptism luncheon here, and while I can’t speak for the regular restaurant service, I would most definitely look to Bartolini’s if I needed to host a shower or other small event.

I think of this more as a Nightclub rather than an Italian restaurant, hmm.
Anyways, this is a semi-small nightclub. No huge majestic staircase, no huge long winding corridors, just a simple layout with the bar, couches/ lounge chairs surrounding it, and a dance floor down a few steps. Positives: you won’t lose your friends in here!!

We are still talking about the amazing meal we had at Maroni Cuisine and its been four days.. We attended the Saturday night full tasting for $125 a person including beer and wine. And when I say wine I mean good wine. they served us as much as we wanted and let us very our selection as the meal progressed.

These meatballs are DELICIOUS!! My company had some executives in from out of town. We wanted to give them a “true philly foodie experience” so we decided to have our lunch catered by Marabella Meatball’s (MMCO). Some of our employees had been there before and raved about it so we figured this was the perfect opportunity to try it out!

We stopped in after the Halloween parade, and the place was empty. The only other face we saw was a man stopping in to get a hurricane before going right back out the door. But this isn’t a criticism; it gave us a chance to talk.
