Tasty Tidbitts

At the beginning of 2017 year we took a trip down to Clear water beach in Florida, and as we were on our way we seen a sign along the long stretch of highway for Bojangles.  Bojangles claimed to have famous chicken 'n biscuits, and we all know how much I do love chicken! How could I possibly pass this place up.   The fast food restaurant is primarily on the East coast and has not made its way much further, so this post is a little different compared to our others. Bojangles is colorful in yellow and red, and looks much like any other fast food joint you would go to for a quick meal. We ordered in the Drive-threw and both decided upon their chicken tender meal served with fries and a biscuit. The tenders were fabulous.  The fries were fabulous.  The biscuit was to die for.  We both enjoyed every last crumb. They also offer a few different kinds of dipping sauce, and I went with the honey mustard. I love that instead of small sized pac...

It's not everyday that you get to eat dinner on a train, but at The Buckeye Express Diner you can do just that. A train is a very interesting place to have dinner but the food matched the unique atmosphere well. Ohio Mega Dog The Ohio mega dog is a 1/2 pound all beef hot dog with a 1/2 pound of chili sauce all on a grilled bun. We were having trouble deciding on the many delicious choices the diner had to offer. We were pretty sure that this was going to be a good choice and it most definitely was. When this monsterous meal arrived at the table we were excited. The flavor of the hot dog by itself was out of this world, it was far from some cheap hot dog. It had a juiciness and a great beef flavor that is exactly what you hope for in a hot dog. The chili sauce was also very delicious, it was loaded with onions, green peppers and beef. Every ingredient in the chili sauce tasted awesome and it had the perfect amount of meat, veggies and seasoning that all played an aweso...

On our recent vacation to Florida, we found some decent restaurants that we thought would be a great additions to our blog.  We came across Pearly's Beach Eats online and we were immediately intrigued. After swimming with manatees we finally worked up an appetite so we stopped at Pearly's for lunch. Pearly's is a small restaurant with a unique menu that offers Mexican, American and seafood. It was a very fun place to eat, they have outdoor seating in the shade with surfboard tables! It was a great atmosphere to have beach themed food. Fish Sandwich The fish sandwich at Pearly's is out of this world! You have the choice to have your fresh Cobia fish blackened or fried, we went with the fried. The sandwich consists of a fresh piece of cobia, lettuce, tomato, and tarter sauce on a grilled bun. We were blown away by the first bite, the fish tasted unbelievable. The batter had so much flavor and was seasoned beautifully, and the fish was fr...

On our second trip to Cleveland, we stopped at a very well known restaurant in the Tremont area that you may have seen on the Food Network T.V. show, 'Diners, Drive-in, and Dives'. It goes by the name of Lucky's Cafe . The interior of the restaurant was unique just as you expect from seeing the exterior of the restaurant. Every bit of food in the restaurant is homemade, and farm fresh. The entire menu looked absolutely appetizing. After browsing we decided we couldn't pass up their famous biscuits and gravy called Biscuits for short. And we also decided on the Shipwreck, because it had so many different toppings we wanted to see how it would pan out. BISCUITS AND GRAVY Lucky's famous biscuits and gravy are out of this world. Crispy and flavorful scallion and cheese biscuits, topped with farm fresh scrambled eggs and covered in Lucky's sausage gravy and finished with a nice sprinkle of scallions. What sounds better than that? Each item o...

Columbus, Ohio is home to many delicious restaurants. There are plenty of great food spots in ohio and quite a variety of them. We kept our eyes peeled and landed on a great pick for our next blog... Sweet  Carrot! This place isn't like many restaurants in Ohio, the most popular thing on the menu is the corncake. They have many selections of drinks such as beer and they even have their own soda! But what we came for was the corncakes! The corncakes are so tasty, its definitly a must try at Sweet Carrot. The corncake has kernels of corn throughout the entire cake which makes it sort of fun to eat. Each corncake is served with house made slaw, corn salsa, and homade sauce. They have many different variations of flavors on top of these corn cakes such as meat balls and pork, which is what we opted for!  Corncake with Pulled Pork We are going to start by saying that each corncake is quite delcious. The soft sweet and (because of the corn kernals) crunchy cornca...

Pine State Biscuits  One of our morning stops before some Oregon site seeing was Pine State Biscuits. This place is really well known in the Portland area. We were definitely excited about this tasty stop from all of the great things we heard about it. We thought we would have a nice breakfast before heading out to see the world famous Mount Saint Helens. Pine State Biscuits was very fast laced breakfast restaurant but had a very great uniqueness to it. The menu had a good variety. We chose the Reggie Deluxe and the Shrimp and Grits! The Reggie Deluxe  This dish was fairly decent. It was some what different from regular breakfast dishes. The Reggie deluxe is a biscuit with fried chicken, cheese, bacon, and covered with sausage gravy. It didn't blow us away like we though but it was definitely tasty. It the flavors of everything were pleasing for a breakfast dish. The biscuit was fresh, the gravy had a nice flavor and the chicken was simply okay. We did ap...

Portland, Oregon is known for its many food trucks and food stands. Portland, Oregon is the home of Nong's Kahn Man Gai which we proudly visited on our trip.  Food trucks are no new thing for us, Seth's father was the founder and executive Chef of the Green Meanie food truck that was formerly located in Columbus, Ohio so we are hip to what a food truck should be like.  We decided to go for the popular choice on the menu which was the Chicken and Rice... CHICKEN AND RICE Chicken on top of a bed of white rice, with a generous portion of cilantro, and a couple slices of cucumber was what we received after ordering. We also got a side of soup and a side of their tangy ginger sauce to go with the chicken. The Chicken was tender, fresh and cooked all the way through. the flavor of the chicken was very tasty along with the rice, cilantro and cucumber. Everything tasted great together but what really set everything to perfection was the ginger sauce. It gave th...
