Payne’s – Home of Traditional British Fish n’ Chips! This very unassuming restaurant is tucked behind a small strip mall off I69 at the Gas City exit. When Payne’s first opened they prepared custard and coffee. As time went on, they evolved and added sandwiches and other items to compete with local establishments. Payne’s currently…
Men that Cook! I write a lot of articles on places I’ve eaten and recipes. I decided to ramble a little about men that cook. Some of the best home cooks I know are men. If a man decides they want to cook they usually do it very well. My husband’s very good friend from childhood,…
I love coffee in the morning … but I recently sold my Keurig to become more eco-friendly. These machines are pretty cool. I mean you can get a great cup of coffee in less than a minute and you can change the flavors each time you use it. What’s not to love? Well, I hadn’t thought…
If you aren’t familiar with Pho you are missing out! This is a Viet Namese noodle soup that puts great focus on the broth. It needs to be full of flavor and not cloudy. You don’t want bits of the aromatics floating around so it’s strained before serving. I’ve seen it seasoned different ways but…
It’s been a while since I posted an article. But, I have several places I want to write about from my summer vacations. I’m going to start with Pie. I am not a fan of pie…or cake…or really dessert in general, occasionally get a craving but those happen very infrequently. I do love Dan’s Pies…
The April 2016 edition of the Indianapolis Monthly Magazine has their top 25 list of places to eat in Indianapolis. I unfortunately have only been to a few. The number one on the list is Milktooth in the Fountain Square area. I wanted to try this place out a year ago but alas…I have yet…
I’m not sure but I think this place is a Michigan (unofficial) institution. Schuler’s Restaurant and Pub (the pub is called Winston’s) has been in existence since 1909 located in Marshal Michigan. This place is a time capsule of sorts and reminds me of a Bavarian inn. According to the brochure they gave me, Albert…
During a weekend visit to Michigan we had dinner at a little joint called NEDS on Gull Lake. And it’s little alright, maybe seven tables. NEDS stands for North End Deli and Spirits ….It’s across from Gull Lake in Hickory Corners and from what I could tell does a huge take out business. There is…
The Original Kumas Corner is in Chicago on West Belmont Ave. It’s a very loud, heavy metal music playing, dive looking place but boy do they know how to make a burger! If I hadn’t heard about this place I would have total driven past it and not given it a second look. In fact…
If you are like me you have thousands of recipes stored everywhere! I have dozens of cookbooks. And printed copies from magazines and online. They are in every nook and cranny in my kitchen. A few years ago I tried using Keyingredient.com to organize them. I started typing in recipes that I had on scrapes…
