I’m not very brand loyal, but after a pretty good experience with Fairfield a few years back, I generally look for them first when I am on the road. Not as likely to be individually franchisee owned, but rather held by a group management company, the quality of one’s stay is ultra-dependent on how hard… Continue reading Fairfield Inn Midtown Review – Savannah, GA

Harrahs Gulf Coast Review – Biloxi, MS
Harrahs Gulf Coast Anecdotally, I’ve heard with “full employment” in the country, lower wage jobs are experiencing high turnover. I can’t say whether or not that is factual, but giving that theory some credence might account for the fact that any number of employees at this hotel are poorly trained and uninformed as to hotel… Continue reading Harrahs Gulf Coast Review – Biloxi, MS
Chesters Chicken Review
Chesters Chicken was originally a licensed chicken concept that started in 1952 and has now evolved into a full franchise model offering. Located across the US and on two other continents, Chesters offers a “store in store” concept. That is, you will find Chester’s Chicken counters in gas stations, c stores, food courts, and the… Continue reading Chesters Chicken Review
Pork Tenderloin Recipe
Pork “tenderloins” are an Iowa thing. And Indiana thing. We’ll leave it at that. It’s a boneless pork chop, hammered with a mallet to make it larger and thinner, dipped in batter and deep-fried, served on a hamburger bun about 1/10th the size of the ‘loin. You might also call it wienerschnitzel, of a sort.… Continue reading Pork Tenderloin Recipe
Rays Drive In Review – Kokomo Indiana
A pork tenderloin, or simply “tenderloin” was not on my food radar for most of my life. Oh, I’d see them on menus, people around me would order them, but for some reason, even up close they didn’t merit a look-see from my side of the table. That’s changed. For the uninitiated, a pork tenderloin… Continue reading Rays Drive In Review – Kokomo Indiana
Jungle Jims Grocery Review – Cincinnati, OH Area
Another place that’s been on my bucket list for years, Jungle Jims opened in 1971 and has been described as a “theme park of foods.” That’s an understatement, in my opinion. Clocking in with square footage about two times a WalMart, Jungle Jims specializes in a great depth of product choices, and foods from all… Continue reading Jungle Jims Grocery Review – Cincinnati, OH Area
Random Meat Sticks Review
When I go on my drives, seeking out great dogs, burgers, and pizza across America, my in-vehicle snack food is frequently meat snack sticks, like Slim Jims. I can’t even begin to fathom how many brands and variations there are of this popular snack food. Ingredient and cost wise, they span the whole spectrum from… Continue reading Random Meat Sticks Review

Kegels Inn Review – Milwaukee, WI
If you’re an occasional reader, you know that I’ve been disappointed in the past when I’ve gone to an establishment that’s had the title of “City’s favorite for XXX decades.” Lots of those types rest on their laurels, or the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th generation think they “know better.” But I’ve been on a roll… Continue reading Kegels Inn Review – Milwaukee, WI
Hodaks Restaurant and Bar Review, St. Louis, MO
Geez, I can count on about three fingers the times I have not been disappointed when I’ve tried a restaurant that is a perennial favorite in a given city. If it’s won “the best of” multiple times, for some reason, it won’t strike me the same way. Much to my delight, Hodaks does not fall… Continue reading Hodaks Restaurant and Bar Review, St. Louis, MO
