Restaurant Review
Johnny’s Cafe – Omaha, Nebraska
Another steak house..but this is Omaha! And it is Johnny’s Cafe which I’ve mentioned in some previous posts. So here’s one dedicated to Omaha’s Original Steakhouse Since 1922. If you haven’t noticed yet, I’m a stickler for the old, established places that have been making people happy for the longest time. I don’t [...]
Nebraska Beef Company – Omaha, Nebraska
Spouse and I go to Nebraska Beef Company every time we visit Omaha on business. It’s so conveniently located just a skip and a hop from our usual hotel. It’s an unassuming place with a name that could throw you off into thinking this was just a place to order those famous Omaha steaks. We’ve been there for [...]
Galileo’s Diner – Pueblo, Colorado
There’s a little restaurant in the city of Pueblo that serves great Italian food. It’s called Galileo’s Diner and is located on East Routt Avenue between Northern and Mesa. I don’t know how long it’s been around, but right now, it’s not all that pleasant a place to dine. It’s dark, small and [...]
Redstone Inn – Redstone, Colorado
The Redstone Inn started out about a hundred years ago as the bachelor’s quarters for a coal-mining operation owned by John Osgood. The whole town was built by the self-procalimed Robber Baron, as a matter of fact. When the mines closed in 1908, Mr. Osgood returned to the town to reopen the Redstone [...]
Village Smithy – Carbondale, Colorado
Spouse and I went to the town of Carbondale for breakfast on the second day of our vacation last week. The Village Smithy was one of those recommended places to eat by the Avalanche Ranch where we were staying. It was a very busy morning, even for a summer day. I made it [...]
European Cafe – Manitou Springs, Colorado
This little cafe is our favorite spot to stop for brunch when we head out to the mountains and little towns west of Colorado Springs. We stumbled upon this place while antique shopping on the main drag of Manitou Springs. It was the closest place to the shop we were at and it was past [...]
The Sunset Grill – Sunset, Texas
This is a reprint from my other blog which I remembered while doing the previous restaurant review on Good Times Burgers. The Sunset Grill is a real gas station/convenience store/restaurant northwest of Dallas. Spouse and I were on US Hway 287 coming from Ft. Worth, Texas last spring when we both realized it was past [...]
Good Times Burgers and Frozen Custard
Good Times Burgers and Frozen Custard is a Colorado-based burger chain that’s been around since 1987. Strangely enough, Spouse and I had never heard of the chain though we live in Colorado, until they opened a branch close to our place. That was just a couple of months ago and we promptly checked it [...]
French Onion Soup
From the first time I had this soup years ago at the old Bistro Burgos in Makati, I fell for it. The last time I had it was at Johnnys Cafe in Omaha which was sometime last year when Spouse and I were on a business trip there. Steak houses should have the best [...]
A Pueblo Tradition
That’s what Pass Key Restaurant in Pueblo, Colorado says of its signature sandwich, the Pass Key Special. It’s an Italian sausage sandwich served on a loaf with lettuce and plenty of mustard, fries and sweet peppers. You can have it with your choice of cheese: American, Swiss or Provolone. I chose provolone to go with [...]
