Everyday when Tom and I went to and from my Overshot class, we drove past Forrys Drive In. It’s one of those local, small town, ice cream and burger stands that we all remember so fondly. It was packed every afternoon when we drove by at 5:30, and we decided someplace the locals liked so …
From Places to Eat
Maple Donuts in York, Pennsylvania
After we ate at Mission BBQ in York, Pennsylvania, Tom and I walked down the shopping strip to Maple Donuts. I wanted to try some local donuts and get some to take to Overshot class the next day. Maple Donuts is a York staple. Charles Burnside started making donuts in 1946 and selling them to …
Mission BBQ in York, Pennsylvania
While we were in Pennsylvania, Tom and I tried out several new-to-us places to eat. The first place we ate was Mission BBQ in York. We are always on the lookout for great BBQ or an interesting story. Mission BBQ has the interesting story. Mission BBQ opened its doors on September 11, 2011, in Davenport, …
101 Beer Kitchen in Dublin, Ohio
On a recent Saturday morning, Tom and I ate at 101 Beer Kitchen for the first time. John and Jackie know that we enjoy trying new restaurants so they suggested 101 Beer Kitchen for brunch. 101 Beer Kitchen started in the Columbus area in 2012. There are currently five locations, three of them in the …
Charred Oak Grill in Somerset, Kentucky
After spending the afternoon at Mill Springs Battlefield National Monument, Tom and I headed to the Charred Oak Grill in Somerset, Kentucky, for supper with Ranger Caitlyn. We were early, so we had a little time to walk around the beautiful downtown area. Of course, it helped that it was a lovely, warm spring day. …
Dulce Dough Bakery on St. Simons Island
Tom and I discovered a new bakery here on St. Simons Island, Dulce Dough. It wasn’t here when we were here two years ago, and we were excited to think the island had its own bakery. I had seen it listed this year as being one of the island restaurants, but it always had the …
Scott’s BBQ in Waynesville, Georgia
One day Mady, a local volunteer who comes in on Saturdays, mentioned that she was getting Scott’s BBQ after work. Tom and I are always on the lookout for good BBQ, so I asked her about it. She told me it was the very best BBQ in the area. Southern Soul is the place on …
Crabdaddy’s Seafood Grill and Bar
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 …
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 …
