My dad loved eating fish. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, couldn’t get enough. I brought him over to visit when I was working in Hong Kong and he was in seafood heaven. Geez, I craved a burger during that trip. He wasn’t much of a sportsman himself, but his colleagues and employees made sure he was kept well… Continue reading Blue Gillys Review – Edgerton, WI

Rics Dog Gone Good Food Review –
I’m on a roll, lately I’ve hit quite a number of places that have exceeded my expectations, and there’s nothing wrong with that, at all! Yesterday was no exception, when I was out in the NW Chicago burbs surveying changes that have occurred since we first moved to the idyllic town of Barrington in 1987.… Continue reading Rics Dog Gone Good Food Review –
Two of My Favorite Tuna Recipes
My late mother made tuna a regular part of our family’s meal rotation. One was an entree, what we call in Minnesota a “hotdish.” Her recipe called for two cans of tuna, drained, stirred into a can of cream of mushroom soup simmering in a sauce pan. It was plated by ladling it piping hot… Continue reading Two of My Favorite Tuna Recipes
Middendorfs Review, New Orleans
I love this place. Been in regular attendance for the past two decades. They’ve had their share of troubles, flooded twice cause of storms, but they keep coming back, stronger and better than ever. Caveat one: this is a New Orleans AREA restaurant, not in the city, it’s about a 30 minute drive north on… Continue reading Middendorfs Review, New Orleans
American Turners Fish Fry – Elgin, IL
The “American Turners” is a social club started by German immigrants to the US in the mid 1800s. Still with a nationwide presence today, they have about 50 locations around the country. The movement started in Germany during the occupation by Napolean, as a way to preserve culture and promote fitness of mind and body.… Continue reading American Turners Fish Fry – Elgin, IL
Cruisin Review, Gilberts, IL
I have no clue how the ‘tradition’ started, but Friday nights in Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin are “fish fry” nights, with many restaurants and bars offering some variation of this meal, either at a value price or on an all you can eat basis. Cruisin’, a distant Chicago suburb bar with a second location east… Continue reading Cruisin Review, Gilberts, IL
Culvers Walleye Sandwich Review
I try and say something positive in every review I post. Even if something went wrong, or I don’t like something, I still try and remember to say “while this isn’t to my preference, you may enjoy it.” Such is the case at Culver’s today, “Home of the Butterburger,” a Wisconsin-based regional burger and custard… Continue reading Culvers Walleye Sandwich Review
Rural New Orleans Seafood Buffets
(This is from our archives, check on whether they are open before making the drive). I am in buffet heaven, if there is such a thing. I’ve previously written about a couple; I hit the other two “main attractions” in the past few weeks. Number one, in all manners of speaking, was the House of Seafood… Continue reading Rural New Orleans Seafood Buffets
Musso and Frank Review, Hollywood, CA
I have written about the joys of going to an establishment where they remember you – your likes, your dislikes; or are willing to prepare something “off the menu” to your liking. But I find a certain comfort, as well, in being a regular at a place where just the opposite is true – they… Continue reading Musso and Frank Review, Hollywood, CA
Berrys Seafood and Catfish Buffet, Florence, MS
I’m not ashamed to say I like AYCE buffets. Especially at breakfast, where I often find my plate full of a half dozen different processed pork breakfast meats and little else. But I also like seafood buffets, and I stumbled into a doozy in Southern Mississippi, 12 miles south of the State Capital on Highway… Continue reading Berrys Seafood and Catfish Buffet, Florence, MS
