Day 6: The Grizzly House … Nearly More Tears

I know we’re not supposed to get sappy on a road trip, but Banff just brings out the girl in me.  Ten years ago, when I left Banff (and the girl), my housemates took me out on my last night for fondue at the Grizzly House.  It’s a Banff institution, once it was a rocky [...]

Eats in Vancouver: Oysters and Beer

Some years ago, I went to Toronto with possibly the sweetest of all the girls I’ve ever dated, Joan (pronouced “Jo-anne”) Lee While we were there, we made a point of calling our northern neighbour “Canadia” and Ontario’s fair capital “Tortonto” (by the way, I realize that Ottawa is the capital of Canadia, I said [...]

Day 1: Breakfast at Voula’s

After a quick stop at Matt’s buddy’s awesome studio, we headed to Voula’s Offshore Cafe on the say so of his (the buddy’s) lead assistant / weatherman … the producer / marketeer at the studio gave us the heads up as to what exactly to order, and we followed her advice.
Voula’s is in a part [...]

Most Definitely Road Trip Worthy: Eddie’s Famous Cafe In Los Banos, CA

Eddie’s should have been one of my first Road Trip Worthy posts.  This place serves the best breakfast in California, hands down.  The homemade sausage is very nearly the best sausage I’ve had anywhere in my life.  The service is impeccable.  This is a local’s place, and city slickers and their Priuses (What’s the plural [...]

Not Quite Road Trip Worthy: Trailer Park Lounge, NYC

The Trailer Park Lounge is pretty good, definitely worth a stop if you’re in NYC, but it’s not quite worthy of taking a road trip for. The burger is excellent, the tater tots rock in their crispy-skin-mushy-guts glory, the kitsch is well, kitschy.

Road Trip Worthy: Maison Saigon Tacu Tacu

Cheap eats, simple atmosphere, good beer - and a karaoke lounge downstairs. I had Vietnamese Pork Chops (around $10) which were straight-up delicious.

Road Trip Worthy: Guero’s Taco Bar, Austin, Tx

Am I just taco crazy? Maybe. But next time you’re in Austin with a hangover, proceed directly to this joint. It can get a little crazy ’round brunch time, but it’s worth the wait. Last time I had the breakfast tacos which just blew me away: you normally have to choose [...]

Meals Of Note: Rio Grande

We heading to Croc’s for dinner, one of our old haunts, but it was packed by Ohio State alumni … so we turned to corner and found another mexican restaurant, Rio Grande.
Although our waitress was a not, the meal was gorgeous and awesome.  We recommend the quesadilla, fajitas, enchiladas and especially the green chili.
