Choice Hotels Review
Choice Hotels Review For most of my career, I traveled the world, mostly staying in the finest hotels an area had to offer. Many 5 stars, some purporting to be 7 stars. Of course, there were some that claimed “5 star” and that simply meant there was a door with a lock on it,… Continue reading Choice Hotels Review

The Coffee Pot Restaurant in Kenosha is an old-timey diner serving breakfast and lunch food that rocks.
Crocketts 1875 Breakfast Camp Review – Gatlinburg, TN
Crocketts 1875 Breakfast Camp I’m big about avoiding tourist traps or “voted best XXX 10 years in a row.” Unless I specifically head out for one, of course, and Crocketts 1875 Breakfast Camp was just one such destination. I was going to be passing near Gatlinburg, and I thought the least I could do to… Continue reading Crocketts 1875 Breakfast Camp Review – Gatlinburg, TN
Winstons Irish Bacon Review
When you request bacon in the US, you know what you are going to get. Smoked/cured thin slices of pork belly, with streaks of fat parallel to streaks of delicious meat. Unless you request “Canadian Bacon” which is neither Canadian nor bacon, but very lean sliced pork loin, cured and smoked. Outside of the US,… Continue reading Winstons Irish Bacon Review
Carys Family Restaurant Review – Cary, IL
“No, we’re out,” said Adele firmly. I protested, and she replied “we had five servings left and I sold them all this morning. Won’t be more until the delivery truck comes.” “I’ll wait.” OK, I didn’t say that, and noticing the disappointment on my face that I wasn’t going to get to have Chicken Fried… Continue reading Carys Family Restaurant Review – Cary, IL
Food Club Liquid Eggs Review
I’ve never tried “liquid eggs” (industry term: breaker eggs), but I see them used quite a bit at charity breakfasts I attend. I do recall having powdered (dehydrated) eggs, which have been around for more than a hundred years. My experience was on Scout trips – the eggs were pretty awful. So I set out… Continue reading Food Club Liquid Eggs Review
Village Inn Review, Huntley, IL
What’s better than getting a restaurant meal with quality ingredients, cooked precisely to your order, at a great value? Not much I can think of. I have found my new “home away from home” for breakfast out, the Village Inn Family Restaurant, in Huntley, IL, a distant Chicago exurb. “Chicago area diners” lean towards large… Continue reading Village Inn Review, Huntley, IL
Waffle House Review
I wrote a piece years back, after hitting a Waffle House shortly after 9/11. I recently dropped in on one on the Gulf Coast. BTW, I counted on a map, and there are about 30 in a 40 mile stretch along the coasts of MS and LA. Wow. I sat at the counter, sipping… Continue reading Waffle House Review
Farmer Johns Sausage Review
I’ve never been much for “brown and serve” type breakfast sausages; to me, they have always represented one of the main components of civic group and church pancake breakfasts, huge chafing trays of the little pork links. But it’s hard to pass up any processed pork product that is selling for around $2 a pound… Continue reading Farmer Johns Sausage Review
