There’s a burg on the Wisconsin/Illinois border, on US 14, about halfway between Chicago and Janesville, WI (home of JerkInChief Paul Ryan), or halfway between Rockford, IL and Milwaukee. Name of the town is Bigfoot. No relation to the legendary monster whom we never see, because Noah didn’t let him on the ark. Along with… Continue reading Bigfoot Inn Review, Harvard, IL

Pizza Hut Buffet Review
As a regular reader, you know I try and find positive things to write about every time I stop someplace. Spoiler alert: not here. I’ve been in a Pizza Hut maybe three times in the past ten years, once in a small town in Western Kansas, the place was filthy, the pizza worse. I liked… Continue reading Pizza Hut Buffet 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
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
Supreme Lobster Appetizers
Had an occasion to need appetizers this week, but didn’t have time to make them. A local Chicago company, Supreme Lobster and Seafood, sells quality heat and eat appys to bail you out of just such a jam. Picked up their bacon wrapped scallops and their lobster rangoon won tons. Both could be ready in… Continue reading Supreme Lobster Appetizers

Teppanyaki Grill & Supreme Buffet Review – Fridley, MN
Spoiler alert: Best……Asian…….Buffet…..anywhere……..The Teppanyaki Grill & Supreme Buffet doesn’t actually offer Teppanyaki (cooking at the table), but there’s not much else it misses. It has one of the largest selections of food I’ve ever encountered in one of these places, including every kind of seafood, noodle, rice dish, soups, American foods, a custom grill where the… Continue reading Teppanyaki Grill & Supreme Buffet Review – Fridley, MN
Chi-Chi’s Corn Chips Review
For a time, back in the day, Minneapolis (of all places) was a hot bed of Americanized Mexican restaurants. A local restaurateur, Marno McDermott, founded a fast food chain called Zapata (later Zantigo) which gave Taco Bell a pretty good run for the money,and was eventually assimilated by various Taco Bell parent companies and vanished.… Continue reading Chi-Chi’s Corn Chips Review
Genoa Illinois VFW Breakfast
This small VFW post does whatever it needs to in order to maintain their solvency and funds for projects; they have found a niche with breakfast, dinners, and events for the community and environs. The third Sunday of each month, they have an AYCE breakfast, loaded up with French toast, biscuits, hash browns, SOS, sausage… Continue reading Genoa Illinois VFW Breakfast
Pizza Ranch Buffet Review
I wonder if they thought of the name “Chicken Ranch” but had to discard it due to an unsavory association with a Nevada business of the same name? The only reason I am wondering about this is while the pizza is good at Pizza Ranch, the fried chicken is the star of the show. In… Continue reading Pizza Ranch Buffet Review
