Sandbar & Grill
An interesting address, I mused. We parked the car right on the long pier that extended out into the Pacific Ocean. Delicately sequestered beneath “Wharf #2” — amongst the power- and sailboats — of Monterey Harbor is a friendly little place that, should I return to live on the left coast once again, I could, […]
Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse
One could easily believe that either 1) I have been hired by Flemings to write good things about them or 2) I have become enamored and addicted to the food at Fleming’s. Neither is true; it could however, reasonably be argued that I am somewhat enamored of what I have found at Fleming’s. Size is […]
Pegasus Restaurant & Taverna
It was only supposed to be dinner with friends — not a night out to do a review. But when an experience is memorable, pleasing and fun, it is almost impossible for me to refrain from writing about it. Such was the case last night when Lauren and I headed to Chicago’s Greek Town with […]

Both are in Wisconsin… The parents of a very good friend of mine decided that they wanted to escape the noise and hustle of a big city, so they packed up their belongings and moved to Boulder Junction, a small town in northern Wisconsin.

100 South Chop House & Grill
A very long time ago, I had the pleasure of dining at what I considered to be one of the most impressive and exclusive feeling restaurants to which I had been. I have not had the pleasure of coming even remotely close to it ever since… It was the Twin Door Supper Club in Geneva, […]

On Carmel Valley Road, about 3 miles east of Carmel, California is a small shopping area that includes a landscaping supply company, several small shops and a couple of great places to eat. One of those places is called Baja Cantina. (This page may contain affiliate links. Read our disclosure about affiliate links.) What’s special […]
Wagon Wheel
Many years ago for a birthday present, on one of my very first trips to Carmel, my sister and brother-in-law took my mother and me to Quail Lodge – just east of Carmel – to play golf. We stayed at the lodge that evening, and in the morning we went next door for breakfast to […]
