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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 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 [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]
This was my first time to cook Cannelloni. My first taste of this was when my cousin had just come back from studies in the US and prepared it for one family gathering during our teens. My cousin is really a gifted man in the kitchen. It’s a trait he got from his godmother [...]
It was more than 2 years ago when Spouse and I went to New Orleans on a day trip from Biloxi, Mississippi. I fell in love with the city even before we set foot in it. On our approach to the city, the car radio was tuned to a local station that was playing the [...]
Culver’s is a restaurant made famous by their mouth-watering ButterBurger. I have to do another post on their burger when I have photos. Ohhh……mmm….and if I remember to take a shot before I take a bite. They’re a 22-year old restaurant chain out of Wisconsin, the state made famous by cheese. Spouse and I like [...]
