Did someone say Root Beer Float?

Have you ever had a root beer float the size of a traffic light? (Not literally but pretty dang close.) We have....

Fitz's

Our next stop was Fitz's Root Beer. It's a soda shop located on the Delmar Loop in St. Louis. If you've never visited the loop there is a cool selection of stores, restaurants and shops in the area. If you're looking for entertainment and in the area this is a great place to find it. 

We discovered Fitz by browsing through tons of itineraries and trip ideas for the St Louis area on Pinterest.  I was amazed by the giant floats I had seen so many pictures of, so I couldn't resist the urge to track this place down and try one for myself! 

Upon entering there was a line at the door, but we were fortunately given the option to sit at the bar at absolutely no wait!


The hostess told us to go right on upstairs, and we found the bar easily. When we sat down the bar tender placed menus before us and I skipped right to the float section. 


Seth on the other hand found more interest in all of the selections of pop they had.   


Fitz's restaurant also makes and bottles their own pop! And you can actually witness it in the works while you enjoy your dinner. They had many different flavors of soda to choose from. You can list a bunch of flavors, as many as you can think of, and I'm sure they will have it!



All the way from dark cola, root beer, and grape, to lemon lime. Not to mention some signature "Fitz flavors" such as Key Lime soda, Coffee Cola and Berry Pomegranate named "Hip Hop Pop". 




Seth opted in for the hip hop.



"It was pretty decent, I expected more of a fruity taste, but it was far from disappointing. It had a good bit of sweetness and an original flavor I've never tasted in a soda before."






Now for the moment you've all been waiting for. Mr. Ghost Buster. 



Out of all of the different float options they offered, there was no way I was passing up this one. As mentioned, it was named the "Ghost Buster". The description is as follows: Draft root beer topped with chocolate ice cream, genuine marshmallow fluff, Hershey's chocolate sauce, whipped cream and a cherry to top it all off. It was DELICIOUS. The marshmallow was super fluffy, and the ice cream was by the far the best part.  


After chugging down our drinks, we decided we would go check out some of the bottling being done downstairs. It was behind glass and there was a big machine doing most of the processes. You were allowed to stand there and watch for as long as you would like. Nearby there was also seating, so if you wanted to have dinner with a cool twist while eating you could chose to be seated there. 

Fitz was the perfect option for the near-end of our day one in St. Louis.

We planned on eating at Imo's pizza afterward, so we didn't get to try any of the other food items they offered, but they seemed to have a variety of burgers and sandwiches also.  

If you're interested in hearing more about our St. Louis trip, keep a lookout for our upcoming post tomorrow! Our very first travel entry!

Thanks for reading, Tasty!

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 ...

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...

Noodlecat's Dream Buns

If you're strolling through downtown Cleveland we hope you stumble into Noodlecat . Located on Euclid Ave, you will be surrounded by a few different popular restaurants, don't be shy! Try them all! From our experience you can't go wrong. Noodlecat serves up three main options noodles, buns, and veggies. Unfortunately we did not come for noodles on this visit, we came for the Japanese Steam Buns! We picked 2 of the 5 bun options they had available and went with the J-fried Chicken bun and the Fresh bacon bun. These Buns are Japanese white bread sandwiches each topped with lettuce and pickle. For the J-fried Chicken Bun, this soft steam bun has a piece of fried chicken, sweet and spicy power ketchup. At first bite you're in love. The fresh steam buns are amazing. The chicken was crispy, tangy, and delicious but it was no match for the next bun that we tried! The Fresh Bacon Bun was filled with a delicious slice of lightly smoked, sugar ...
