  • Mehfil Indo-Mughlai Pak Cuisine Restaurant Review Little Rock Arkansas

      Mehfil Indo-Mughlai Pak Cuisine Restaurant Review Little Rock Arkansas Do you remember the very first moment you ever tasted a certain food? The first time I ever had Indian food was in a seedy, dark, 2nd floor eatery in Wanchai, a neighborhood of Hong Kong, seated across from a stunningly beautiful Chinese woman named […]

  • Star Inn Motel Review Biloxi Mississippi

    I can stay anywhere I want.  I traveled the globe for business and stayed in some of the most luxurious hotels on the planet.  Actually, you can get sick of them.  I’M NOT KIDDING. When I travel now, I’m decidedly down market – prefer the lower priced end of the segment, and especially independent mom […]

  • Shaggys on the Beach Review Biloxi Mississippi

    Shaggys on the Beach Review Biloxi Mississippi It was just a gleam in the founder’s eye – to turn an old bait shack in Pass Christian, MS into a food and beer joint. Hurricane Katrina put his plans on hold for awhile, as it did all of us who lived in the area. But, as […]

  • Hartz Chicken Buffet Review Ocean Springs Mississippi

    Hartz Chicken Buffet Review Ocean Springs Mississippi There are more than a few AYCE chicken buffets in the Deep South. Even some KFC’s offer them. There are even multiple chicken buffets names “Hartz” including a sizable chain in Texas. No relation. Anymore, at least. For around $10, you can get all you can eat fried […]

The downstairs of the facility is for ‘family’ dine-in experiences from their full menu featuring pizza, pasta, wings, burgers and sammiches.  […]

  • Biloxi MS Shrimp Tour

    If you’re vacationing, on business, or just passing through the Mississippi/Louisiana/Alabama Gulf Coast, make plans and time to take the 90 minute Biloxi Shrimping Trip, a tourist attraction since 1954. Your affable captain and mate will take you on a highly education yet entertaining cruise through Biloxi Bay, explaining the local shrimp industry, the life […]

  • Super 8 Motels Review – Nationwide Chain

    After decades of business travel on the company time, in posh hotels where your every single whim is attended to, I’m happy these days to mostly stay in ‘value priced’ motels. Generally franchisees, locally owned, and adequate for as little time as I will be in attendance. Super 8 is in the top 5 of […]

  • Sams Diner Review – Waterford, WI

    Sam’s Diner Review – Waterford, WI There are a few times in my life when I’ve had a plate put in front of me at a restaurant and I’ve sighed and said “this is art.” When/where this has happened, it’s never been dependent on the price or the number of stars, or some fancy name […]
