Oh Subway, Why
Apparently “spicy” is in. And not that it’s a bad thing- it’s just, well…unless you’ve been trained by the South how to make food spicy and GOOD just don’t even attempt it. I ventured away from my usually veggie flat bread sub from Subway and decided to try their feature of the month: Buffalo Chicken. […]
Spicy Chicken McBites
The problem with McDonald’s is that they are so big they think their food is so awesome when in fact it’s crap. We decided that since we reviewed McDonald’s original Chicken McBites that we would go ahead and review their Spicy Chicken McBites… I’m not even going to bother with explaining that they’re bad for you, […]
Oh Bella Milano, No
Arguably the Best Italian food from Springfield to the Metro East. – Quoted From Their Website I’m afraid I’m going to have to disagree. Honestly, I’ve never tasted anything worse. I knew I was in trouble when the menu was gigantic and the steaks were way over priced for the area. I would expect to pay nearly […]
3o9
5832 N. Knoxville Ave Peoria, Illinois 61614 Reservations: (309) 692-0309 Official Website I’m going to try the sandwich approach on this review. Talk about good things, things to improve upon and end on a high note. Admittedly, I’m extremely hard to impress. Jaded? Maybe. I’m a big, “It better be clean” person. 3o9 is impressively […]
Chicken McBites: Swing and a Miss
I broke the vegetarian rule to try McDonald’s Chicken McBites. And I’ve got to be honest, I’m not quite sure what the big deal is. It seems McDonald’s is trying to keep up with popcorn chicken sold by other chains but this as a swing and a miss. T and I went through drive through […]
Kobe Steakhouse of Japan
4100 Willow Knolls Dr Peoria, IL 61615-4409 (309) 691-9968 http://www.kobepeoria.com While we do not normally review chain restaurants, we are making an exception for Kobe as we have found the value of the entertainment and the food to be exceptional. Tonight I took T to eat at Kobe in Peoria, IL. I’ve eaten there before and […]
Dinner Out Sucks
It has become very difficult for me to eat out. Whether it’s because I’m a cook or whether it’s because I’m a part time food critic I don’t know but eating dinner out just sucks. Having let go of the whole vegetarian thing, for now, T and I have indulged in various meat centered dishes […]
The Revisit of PJ’s
124 E. Chestnut St. Mason City, IL 62664 217-482-3616 Saturday evening, after a long day of work, T and I decided to venture on over to Mason City and have dinner at PJ’s Featuring Jack and Jo’s. It had been awhile since our last visit and we looked forward to sitting down to a great […]
Lil Mak’s
Feeling overly tired yesterday after a bum night of sleep and then dealing with headaches, T and I decided we didn’t feel like cooking so decided to venture out and try a new little restaurant in Havana, IL . Unfortunately they are so new I can’t find their contact information on the web or in phone […]
Garden Restaurant
612 S Main St, Lewistown, IL 61542 (309) 547-7170 No… No… A thousand times NO! Today we ventured to the apple orchard and then over to Lewistown, IL for lunch and tried out the Garden Restaurant. Some of mom’s friends had told her that it was really good, great portions and decently priced. While I can’t argue with […]
Magic Kitchen Thai Restaurant
4112 North Peoria Road Springfield, IL (217) 525-2230 A Thai restaurant with flavor! Who’d a thunk? After my last encounter with a Thai restaurant, which was terrible, I was so relieved to have a simple Thai meal packed full of flavors. Magic Kitchen is a hole in the wall with cramped seating. And while […]
What’s The Deal With Fast Food? It’s Awful!
At some point in our lives we’ve all eaten at establishments like McDonald’s, Dairy Queen and Pizza Hut. It’s convenience food-easy to grab on the go. But truthfully, it sucks. We all know its terrible food yet we still keep eating it. Why? This past week has been rather hectic for T and I. We’ve […]
Bhan Thai Restaurant Memphis, TN
1324 Peabody Ave Memphis, TN 38104 901-272-1538 http://www.bhanthairestaurant.com Their website declares they are the best Thai food in Memphis, TN. Debatable. Thai food and Memphis hardly go together. When visiting Memphis one expects to find BBQ, fried chicken, you know, that good old Southern Style cooking. Thai doesn’t exactly fit but we gave it a shot. […]
PJ’s featuring Jack & Jo’s
PJ’s featuring Jack & Jo’s 124 E. Chestnut St. Mason City, IL 62664 217-482-3616 http://pjsfeaturingjackandjos.com/ Have you ever been to a place that made you want to gush like a super-fan at a rock star? Have you ever eaten at a restaurant that made you want to keep eating until you felt sick simply to […]
The Town House of Havana, IL
116 West Market Street Havana, IL 62644-1144 (309) 543-5000 Twenty-six years ago on July 1st, my parents adopted me. Each year on this anniversary we do something together as a family, whether it be going to the movies, a little shopping trip or eating dinner together. This year I decided I wanted to eat […]
Amish Bakery
Yesterday, T and I traveled to Cuba, IL in search for a rumored Amish bakery. I had heard that there was a bakery around but wasn’t sure where it was. As most know, the Amish prefer to keep to themselves. After a twenty-five minute drive, we wound our way around curves on a gravel country […]
China Town, Havana IL
214 W. Main St Havana, IL Yesterday, for Dauson’s birthday, we went to the local Chinese restaurant for lunch. In the past, we have always ordered their General Tsos Chicken but this time, we are vegetarians. Chicken was out of the question. So, because of our dietary changes we had to venture off the beaten path […]
The Oriental Palace, Pekin IL
2307 Court St. Pekin, IL http://orientalpalacepekin.com/ During one of our many excursions around central IL, Dauson and I found ourselves in the small city of Pekin. This was not our first trip to Pekin, certain to not be our last either, however it did end up being our first trip to Oriental Palace. I can […]
Two25 of Peoria, IL
225 NE Adams Peoria, IL http://www.two25peoria.com/ Recently, Dauson and I decided to embark on a food tour. Both of us are passionate about food and love to try new recipes and explore new (to us) restaurants. Last night, we started this tour at Two25 in Peoria, IL. Turning on the GPS, we made our way […]
