Sweets for Cheaps!

Short snippet of a cute little bakery and cake shop we stumbled into today while doing a little shopping.

Capital City Cakes, Grove City OH

This was our first time here, and we kind of had difficulty finding it. We called the number listed online, and they were helpful enough to get us going in the right direction, although they closed within the half hour.

To my surprise when we found the small bakery it was quite welcoming. They had a few small glass display cases set up and we decided to try a few random things since we weren't sure what we would enjoy the most!

I'm a big fan of nearly anything pistachio. So upon first glance I decided I had to have one of these. The woman who was getting the items reassured me that it was really good. So I was excited to try it. It wasn't the best cupcake that I've had, and maybe not even in the top cupcakes that I've been able to try. I was slightly disappointed, mainly because the bakery is supposed to be famous mainly for the cakes they produce. But it wasn't a bad cupcake either, it was simply alright.

Seth and I both decided we needed a entire cookie to our self. And we were not disappointed in this decision. The cookies weren't soft, but the outer edges were crispy and the inside was chewy. It would have paired very well with a glass of milk.

Seth also ordered a small piece of baklava, but had it devoured before I was able to get a quick picture!

All in all it was a nice little place for something sweet and cheap. I almost forgot to mention the cookies were only $1 a piece, the cupcakes were $2.50 and they also have a few other items all of which were fairly priced.

Roosters, it's an Ohio thing!

We are so proud to be from Ohio for so many reasons, and Roosters being one of them! Roosters is a restaurant that only 'Ohioans' or Ohio visitors know about. It's not a five star fancy schmansy restaurant, just a tasty and fun place to eat at on a weekend or after a long days work. The famous slogan really speaks for itself "A fun, casual, joint", but it doesn't happen to mention the delicious food they have available! We are regular Rooster customers, we usually go a couple of times a month. We usually stick with our favorites from the menu, but you really can't go wrong with anything they have to offer. Whether it's the loaded nachos, a burger, or their tender boneless wings dipped in your choice of TOP OF THE LINE wing sauce, you wont be disappointed. Most of the time we go with the boneless wings drenched in tangy sweet Thai chili sauce. The quality of the meat is unbeatable, but the big kicker for us is the sauce. The sweet...

Bourbon, burgers, and Bar Louie!

This restaurant may sound familiar to some. We've eaten here before and have never been disappointed with the food or service. Stop into Bar Louie for some great food and and a great late night type of atmosphere, or maybe just after doing a little shopping in the mall. Bourbon Bacon Burger Just by looking at the special limited time menu of this burger and many other special sandwiches alike, we knew this burger would be incredibly flavorful. A beautifully cooked meat patty deserves nothing better than a beautifully crafted sauce and delcious toppings to back them up. A perfect meat patty topped with cheddar cheese, bacon, a delcious bourbon sauce and a nice stack of fried onion straws... It's making my mouth water just thinking about it... Unsurprisingly, the look of the burger was astonishing. The juicy patty had a decent portion of crispy onion straws that make the presentation really stick out. The first bite ...

Screendoor, What Mo' Could'ya Ask Fo'

On our Oregon vacation and exploration, we headed out to a specific well known location for breakfast. Screendoor Much like many old fashion restaurants, Screendoor in Portland Oregon is extremely popular. The vibe of the restaurant is very positive, and the decor and atmosphere is warm and makes you feel at home. The lighting of the restaurant is very soft on a beautiful autumn Portland morning, and nothing goes better with a crisp cool fall day than delicious breakfast. We browsed the simple menu, and selected our meals quickly. We had a big day ahead of us. Seth opted for their famous chicken and waffle dish, while I on the other hand went with the Texas Veggie Migas. (I can't ever pass up a good Mexican classic) Chicken and Waffles The presentation of the dish was impressive, the orange peal on top of the portions of breakfast goodness was a gorgeous touch. The chicken was absolutely homemade, hand breaded, and cooked to perfection. The flavor of the ch...
