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!

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 ...

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 ...

All of you Ohio natives out there, if you havent been to Ale house 1890 in Lancaster Ohio you are definitely missing out. They have wonderful hamburgers and so many to menu items to choose from! All of these burgers are specially made with their own selection of fresh ingredients. They definitely know their way around a burger! They also have new specials  pretty frequently such as fried macoroni! (See review for fried Macoroni below!) so go in and don't miss them! Ale House 1890 Our first pick from the menu was the Barnyard Burger.  Barnyard Burger This burger was an absolute taste masterpiece! The first bite I took I could immediately taste the sweetness of marmalade and the grilled taste of the patty which collided with each other creating a  wonderful taste combination. The garlic aoli was a nice touch to the burger as well, better than mayonnaise if you ask me! Also the micro greens was a great bonus to an already delcious sandwich. And what is bet...
