We’ve previously taken a look at the burgers at the Spot Bar inside Incline Station in Duluth. The sports bar/bowling complex offers indoor recreatin as well as typical pub fare. A group pizza party sampled a buffet of pizzas, with nice stretchy cheese, flavorful pepperoni and sauce. The crusts seem to have the texture of… Continue reading Incline Station Review – Duluth, MN

Burger King Bacon Egg Cheese Biscuit
Last week, I hit a Sonic for the first time in ten years, revisiting their breakfast toaster sandwich. Back in my fast food days, the toaster was pretty much top of the heap for my fast food breakfast choice. It gave the appearance of being prepared freshly, and I liked Texas toast as a bread… Continue reading Burger King Bacon Egg Cheese Biscuit
Sonic Breakfast Toaster Review
When faced with having to resort to a fast food breakfast, I’ll take most anything over the big guys.

I like Sonic, Hardees,… Continue reading Sonic Breakfast Toaster Review

An awful lot of the eateries are owned, or were started by Greeks, so it’s not unusual to see a co-mingling of Greek and American cuisines, regardless of the time of day. To wit: “scrambled eggs with… Continue reading Cafe Olympic Review – Crystal Lake, IL
Homemade Sauerkraut Recipe
I love homemade condiments of any kind; I make killer mustard and mayos, and sauerkraut when I dig up some patience. Traditionally, kraut in my house was simple but time consuming. Spread layers of thinly sliced cabbage and kosher salt in non-reactive container, let sit for six weeks. It’s always worked, so I was doubtful… Continue reading Homemade Sauerkraut Recipe
Lou Malnatis Frozen Pizza Review
Lou Malnati, and his father Rudy, managed Pizzeria Uno, one of the first outlets for “Chicago Deep Dish” pizza. Although Uno (now Uno Chicago Grill) claims to have invented the pie, local food historians give the credit to Rudy. Lou and his wife Jean opened the first Lou Malnati’s in 1971, in the Chicago suburb… Continue reading Lou Malnatis Frozen Pizza Review
