Marges on Rose Restaurant Review I lived here once upon a time. It was where my first job out of college was. I wasn’t so concerned with restaurants at the time as I was with bars and happy hours, and La Crosse was chock a block full of them. (I was in to misbehaving). Marges… Continue reading Marges on Rose Restaurant Review – La Crosse, WI

Crack Barrel Review, Nationwide Chain
I was reading about this couple the other day, 80 years old, who have visited every Cracker Barrel Old Country Store in the country, except one. Interesting goal. According to Wikipedia, there are 640 outlets. The company started in 1969 with the first store located in Lebanon, TN. The accent is on “country home cooking”… Continue reading Crack Barrel Review, Nationwide Chain
Boston Market Country Fried Steak Review
Bear with me as I take you on this journey of magical heat and eat meals. Today’s example, “Boston Market” Country Fried Steak. A frozen entree, with mash potatoes and cream gravy. Boston Market, like many companies, does not actually produce this product, but licenses their name to Bellisio Foods, a company I know a bit… Continue reading Boston Market Country Fried Steak Review
Chicken Fried Steak Recipe – Weekend Breakfasts At My House
When I was growing up, it was etched in stone that the family had a big Saturday breakfast together; often my dad cooked the elaborate set-up, which might have been steak and eggs, pancakes or waffles, fruit turnovers, sausage or bacon. It got so that friends of me and my siblings wanted to do sleepovers on Friday nites just for the… Continue reading Chicken Fried Steak Recipe – Weekend Breakfasts At My House
Lamberts Review – Sikeston, MO
Always been curious about this place, which advertises heavily along the interstate. They also have another Missouri location and one in Foley, Alabama. They are known for “throwed rolls” – servers walk around the room with tins full of piping hot popovers, diners raise their hands, and a roll is pitched to them. (Note of… Continue reading Lamberts Review – Sikeston, MO
Circle A Ranch Country Fried Beef
I’ve written a whole lot about the products from Cincinnati-based Advance Pierre, the premiere “heat and eat” and “gas station sandwich” maker in the U.S. Often, besides in vending and C-stores, you’ll find their frozen products at dollar stores. You know how much I love chicken fried steak? I’ve tried it all over the country, both… Continue reading Circle A Ranch Country Fried Beef
Red Apple Pancake House Palatine Review
Back in the Chicago burbs to see a client, usually disagreeable in January (the weather, not the client), but it’s 45 today. I wanted breakfast and headed for one of my usual haunts, the Palatine Inn, but drove by Red Apple Pancakes and decided to give that a whirl. Glad I did. Deceptively small from… Continue reading Red Apple Pancake House Palatine Review
Crystal Lake, IL – Andys Family Restaurant Review
Landing at O’Hare after an overnight flight from Honolulu, I was starving. Why didn’t I eat on the plane? Conked out on the new lie flat seat/beds in first class, very comfy, a little too comfy. Was heading from Chicago to Madison, so I thought I’d stop en route and get a tasty breakfast on… Continue reading Crystal Lake, IL – Andys Family Restaurant Review
Huntley, IL – Sammy’s Restaurant and Bar
Hard to believe I would find myself in this little burg twice in a lifetime, let alone twice in a month. But here I am, it’s Father’s Day, I deserve a nice breakfast out in the traditional Father’s Day tradition! Sammy’s Restaurant and Bar is open for all meal services, and offers pretty standard “diner”… Continue reading Huntley, IL – Sammy’s Restaurant and Bar
El Paso, TX – IHOP
You gotta love it when a date’s idea of a big nite is going to IHOP. Well, at least I do. Pretty tired of high-maintenance relationships, on any level. Add to the glamour of IHOP that your date brings a “two-fer” coupon, and you’re sitting pretty. She went with the chicken Caesar, wondering if the… Continue reading El Paso, TX – IHOP
