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 Thai sauce packs a big punch of tangy sweet heat that is just a pleasure to eat on a wing, or any type of chicken for that matter.




We usually share a couple of sides with our wings as well, such as the cheesy bacon tots. Cheese sauce, bacon bits and tots sounds very simple, but they take they're cheese sauce to a different level by giving it a unmentioned and deliciously surprising hint of jalapeno that isn't overwhelming but only enjoyable. You can also get curly fries, or wedges, if you'd rather have another form of potato. They are all good.

Another side favorite of ours is the onion feathers. Onion feathers are basically deep fried onion pieces. They are served with an awesome tangy dipping sauce, very simple and still very tasty. 


Another favorite of ours is the loaded nacho's! They are served heaping with toppings. Toppings on the nacho's include chili, lettuce, onion, tomato, cheese sauce, and jalapenos. You can also request sour cream and salsa, or even add grilled chicken!


They also have awesome pizza that we order very frequently. The pizza has a nice thin crust with a slight puffiness. The sauce is much better than your typical pizza chain, having a great tomato taste and seasoned we'll with Italian herbs. The only thing I would change about the pizza is that I wish you could have the option of ordering different sizes as you only have the personal option, but no big complaint here!



No choice is a bad choice at Roosters, something as simple as the fried chicken sandwich will knock your socks off! Or their chicken tender salad! This is also one of our fave's, you can have the tenders spun in your favorite wing sauce! How delicious.



If you are visiting Ohio for the first time, do yourself a favor and go have a deliciously fun time at Roosters!

Amorino has the Gelato

  Oh gelato, you make me smile, especially in the form of a beautiful rose. Yes, you read that correctly, gelato in the shape of a rose. You can find this so called rose shaped gelato at Amarino in Chicago. After hearing about this place, I HAD to add it to our itinerary while we were back in the Windy City. Amarino is downtown, and we didn’t have that much trouble finding parking. We went later in the afternoon; I would say around 5 p.m. and found Amarino to be especially empty. When you enter the double sliding doors (cool touch) you will be right in front of their gelato selections. They have a wide selection. We came for the rose, but you are able to get a simple bowl instead as well.  When finally deciding what flavors we wanted we ended up with Pistachio, cookie butter, and chocolate. The flavors went very well together. We watched in awe as the server sculpted a beautiful rose master piece in front of us. It turned out so pretty!

Fatso's.. hopefully Not-so Last Stand

Fatso’s Last Stand is a "somewhat" fast food restaurant that can also be found on the outskirts of Chicago. When it comes to hot-dogs, Chicago is the place you want to be. For those who may not know, the traditional Chicago dog includes an all-beef frank placed on a poppy seed bun, with a lot of toppings such as, white onions, bright green sweet pickle relish, a dill pickle spear, tomato slices, pickled peppers, and lastly yellow mustard. Out of the many, many, places in Chicago you can find a great hot dog we wound up at Fatso’s. Not only does Fatso’s offer great hot-dogs, they have their own spin on hamburgers. The burger is famously named “The Fatso Burger” and we couldn’t leave without trying both. When ordering you’ll also notice that all of their hot-dogs are served Chicago style, but you can add or remove all the toppings that you would like. Fatso’s has a few different types of hot-dogs to pick from in terms of the meat and style
