Cecil’s Deli

One of my favorite lunch spots is Cecil’s Deli in Highland Park, St. Paul. I love this place! We happened upon Cecil’s several years ago after my dad (who lives out of state) got a recommendation from someone about a restaurant that serves the BEST rueben in the Twin Cites. Although he wasn’t sure of [...]

Himalayan Restaurant

After reading a quick blurb about the new Nepalanese restaurant in South Minneapolis, I knew I had to try it. So even though I had plans to make dinner and have a low-key night at home on Friday, I quickly changed the plans and convinced Kyle that we had to go. And off we went [...]

Dominguez Family Restaurant

I could eat Mexican food for every meal every day. Honestly, I could…in fact I believe I have done that for a week or so at a time. I think Mexican food is simply irresistible and addicting. My former loves for Mexican food were quesadillas and enchiladas. In more recent years, however, I have rediscovered [...]

More Philly Food

When thinking of Philadelphia, I naturally think of Philly cheesesteak, the Liberty Bell and the Declaration of Independence. After that, however, nothing much comes to mind. That’s why I was so pleasantly surprised by the food scene that I experienced while there.

When traveling to another town, I’m usually the first one to do research to [...]

Tin Fish vs. Sea Salt

It was a fish taco-off this weekend, as I finally tried the fish tacos at Tin Fish. My regular craving and favorite fish taco is from Sea Salt, the seasonal, seafood-only restaurant at Minnehaha Falls. The perfect summer day would be spent with a basket of grilled tilapia tacos and a pitcher of Summit. Ahhh…
Tin [...]

Cafe Maude

After several recommendations and reading reviews about Cafe Maude, I finally decided it was time to go. I had heard that dinner reservations can be difficult to come by, so I picked a random Friday several weeks out and closed the deal.
From the reviews and recommendations, I had no doubt that I would love [...]

Sonoma Valley

First of all, thank you so much for all the recommendations of places to visit in the Napa/Sonoma area. Although we could not visit them all, we did hit several and we had a great time!

Going to wine country can be daunting with so many wineries to choose from. We had been to the Napa [...]

Salut Bar Americain

After a stint away from the Twin Cities, I am back! I do have a lot of posts to write about my recent trip to San Francisco and Napa Valley…those are to come.

While I was gone, a new restaurant opened on Grand Avenue in St. Paul. Salut Bar Americain opened in the spot where Sydney’s [...]

Pizza Nea

There is something about brick oven pizza…I love how the crust is so crisp and a little blackened and how the cheese is meltingly rich. The toppings with a brick oven pizza stay crisp, allowing each flavor to come through and stand out among the crust and cheese. That is, of course, only if the [...]

Longfellow Grill…How sweet it is

I’ve realized lately that a lot of my posts have to do with breakfast. What can I say? I love breakfast. As I know I have said this many times before…just give me eggs and coffee to make me happy.
This past Sunday I found myself at Longfellow Grill for breakfast. Scanning the menu, I saw [...]
