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…

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….

Taste of DC

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….

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…
