As I mentioned on Wednesday, while Steve and Kathy were here we ate at Crabdaddy’s Seafood Grill and Bar. Tom and I have eaten at a lot of restaurants on the island but never at this one. It is only open at supper (from 5 until 10) and we aren’t big seafood eaters. But Steve …
From Places to Eat
Driving 145 Miles to Chicken Salad Chick
Tom and I recently spent most of a day off driving 145 miles to go to Chicken Salad Chick. I wrote about Chicken Salad Chick previously in my blog, and Tom and I head there every other week or so when we are in Columbus. We love the many different kinds of chicken salad served …
Riverside Café in St. Marys, Georgia
After a morning of exploration at the Submarine Museum, Tom and I ate lunch at the Riverside Café in St. Marys. The historic downtown of St. Marys is very small, just a couple of blocks, with the usual shops and restaurants. We were there on a Wednesday and several of the shops that looked interesting …
Mudcat Charlies Seafood Restaurant
On our way to Harris Neck National Wildlife Refuge, Tom and I stopped at Mudcat Charlies Seafood Restaurant for lunch. Having been denied burgers at Zuzus, we were looking for a good cheeseburger. Several reviews said that Mudcat Charlies had good burgers, although they are better known for their seafood. We decided to check it …
No Zuzus for You! A Continuing Saga
One of the things Tom and I were looking forward to in our return to St. Simons Island was a burger at Zuzus. Zuzus is a little hole-in-the-wall hamburger joint on the island where we had the best burgers of the whole year in 2020. In fact, a Zuzus burger is the standard by which …
Upper’s Winter Fantasy of Lights
On a recent cold and wintry evening, Tom and I picked up Mom and Dad and headed west for Upper’s Winter Fantasy of Lights. Last year we saw two light displays, and enjoyed them both, so we thought we would check out another light display. Before going to see the lights, however, we stopped at …
Hanby House Historic Site in Westerville, Ohio
After viewing the Van Gogh exhibit, the four of us headed for another adventure: a tour of the Hanby House Historic Site in Westerville, Ohio. First, however, we needed some fuel to continue our awesome adventure day. We chose the Westerville Grill as the spot for lunch. Uptown Westerville has lots of cool looking places …
North Market and Kitchen Social in Dublin
To celebrate Jackie’s recent birthday, John and Jackie took Tom and me to a new place: North Market and Kitchen Social in Dublin. For the last several years, we have driven around construction along the Scioto River in Dublin as they developed the area. A lot of urban developments these days are based on the …
Galena Diner in Downtown Galena, Ohio
After our immersive Van Gogh experience, Mom and Dad wanted to take me out for lunch to celebrate my birthday. Tom and I had been wanting to go to the Galena Diner ever since we moved to the area and rode our tandem bike through Galena the first time. With Covid-19 restrictions, it was too …
SPAM Town, USA: Austin, Minnesota
On our way back to Ohio, Tom and I spent several days in and around SPAM Town, USA, also known as Austin, Minnesota. We loved Austin, which is a small city of 24,000 people with a quirky sense of humor. Not every city would enjoy being called SPAM Town, but Austin takes pride in the …
