Lo-Lo’s Chicken & Waffles-Phoenix and Las Vegas

My first visit to Lo-Lo’s Chicken & Waffles was in Phoenix, AZ.  The atmosphere was nice, the service was good but the food was nothing short of AMAZING!!! I can actually say I went into a food coma after finishing my lunch! The food was so delicious, so filling and fulfilling, I did not eat again until the next…

The Buffet At Wynn- Las Vegas, Nevada

During my recent trip to Las Vegas with one of my best friends, the first stop on our food tour was The Buffet at Wynn.  My anticipation was high because I heard so many good things about it. The buffet was great! Honestly, I could have eaten at this buffet every day and night of…

Morgan’s Barbecue-Brooklyn, NY

Family night out with my cousins is becoming a welcomed weekend event. Our latest outing was to Morgan’s Barbecue in Brooklyn, where most of them reside. I learned of Morgan’s from an episode of Bravo’s Network’s “Best New Restaurant”. Once I heard the cast rave about the brisket, this was a no-brainer for me. To make this…

Mac’s Speed Shop- Charlotte, NC

Mac’s Speed Shop has multiple locations throughout North Carolina and one in Greenville, SC.  During a quick trip to Charlotte, I visited the South Blvd. location. They had a decent lunch crowd. There wasn’t much parking available but I took that as a good sign. The waitress brought a basket of hush puppies to the table for starters….

Jim ‘N Nick’s Bar-B-Q- Bluffton, SC

I am no stranger to Jim ‘N Nick’s. This is one of my regular stops in South Carolina. Whenever I am in Bluffton, I make it a point to have lunch or dinner there at least once before heading back north. What do I love so much about it? For starters, their cheddar biscuits are delicious. I look forward…

Taste of DC

    I went to my first food truck event in the nation’s capital, “Taste of DC”. Fortunately, it was a beautiful fall day although a bit too hot. I think the nice weather brought out more people than expected. Most of the vendors appeared to be understaffed and not stocked with enough food to feed…

City Line Bar & Grill- Albany, NY

  During my last trip to Albany, my daughter and I had dinner at City Line Bar & Grill. It was located next door to our hotel so we walked over after a long day to get a bite to eat. The place was packed inside and out. There is a deck in the back of the restaurant which was…

The Smoke Joint- Fort Greene, Brooklyn, New York

  Brooklyn is becoming the BBQ hot spot in the NYC area. The Smoke Joint was featured on Season 18 of Food Network’s “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.” Since my Father’s family is from Brooklyn and I have cousins there, I decided to turn my BBQ outing into a family outing and spend time with a…

Hill Country Barbecue Market- New York City, New York

Hill Country was always one of my favorite places for BBQ in New York. I hadn’t been in two years so I decided to give it a try after work with one of my friends. I had fond memories of their juicy mouthwatering brisket so I was hoping I would not be disappointed this trip….

Capital Q Smokehouse-Albany, NY

  I recently drove my son up to Albany, NY for his college orientation. As usual, I turned to Google to find the top BBQ places in the area. Capital Q Smokehouse came up at the top of the list. I read quotes online calling it the “Best BBQ in the Capital Region”. It was…

Succotash National Harbor- Oxon Hill, Maryland

While visiting my daughter in Maryland, we went to Succotash for lunch after church. I read about Succotash last week in Food and Wine’s “Best Fried Chicken in the U.S.” article. My daughter had eaten there before and said the smoked chicken wings were some of the best she has ever tasted. I love smoked…

Mac & Cheese

Hey Friends and Family, Tonight I thought I would do something a little different and share food I cooked myself. I don’t always eat out although it may appear as though I do. I actually make home cooked meals too. This is an easy way to whip up macaroni and cheese in a short amount…
