Louisville is the Place to Be!

On our way home from St Louis this past week we ventured our way through Louisville, KY. If you've ever been through Louisville or stopped through you may have noticed this little city has nothing but big flavors. This isn't the first place we have been fortunate enough to try out and it definitely will not be the last. 

Mojito Tapas Restaurant

2231 Holiday Manor Ctr, Louisville, KY 40222

You may wonder what made us chose this place from all of the other wonderful options, well to be honest, it was just luck of the draw. We were headed to Wild Eggs, but ended up running behind schedule and they close at 3 pm. So as pictured you see Mojito Tapas, beautiful modern exterior. 

Upon venturing inside, the restaurant was laid back and relaxing. There were not very many dining so we didn't have to wait, and were seated right away by our kind server. They also have spacious booths and tables, along with delightful Spanish paintings. 

Since it was National Margarita Day, I of course opted for a Margarita with strawberry infused. The margarita was delicious! The flavor and alcohol was well balanced, not too sweet and not too much liquor either. They seemed to have found the perfect middle ground. 

There were so many options to pick from that sounded delicious, we had a hard time choosing only one main entree. We opted for a side of the chicken tacos to share, Seth chose Lamb chops over hummus, and I chose Chicken Marsala. 


The plating was beautiful. 


Via Seth,

"I ordered the Lamb medium rare and they were cooked absolutely perfect. Filled with flavor, juicy and absolutely delicious. The red pepper hummus was great and full of amazing spices and flavors. I would have changed nothing about it." 



As for my wonderful dish, it was wonderful. Did I mention, it was Wonderful? Being a somewhat light eater, I don't usually clear my plate. But this time it was too good to let one single morsel go to waste. The chicken was cooked beautifully, it fell apart at the touch of silverware. The Marsala sauce had a great flavor and sweetness. It was served over mashed potatoes which pulled it all together perfectly. I wish there were better words to explain how exceptional our entrees were!




Last but not least, the chicken tacos. The tacos had shredded chicken cooked in a tomato creole sauce, placed atop a bit of guacamole. 

Loaded with cilantro, and a slight drizzle of sour cream, they did not need many toppings. Everything tasted amazing together. Freshly cut limes were provided on the side for a squeeze of juice to top it all off. Tacos are not tacos without lime! 

Our food was beautifully crafted, the service was good, and the space comfortable. We could not have wished for a better meal. 

Ten out of Ten Mojito Tapas, Ten out of Ten!

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...
