Bubbalou’s Bodacious Barbecue is As Good As It Gets

The best I can remember, I first visited Bubbalou’s Bodacious Barbecue back around ’85 or ’86… Not exactly sure. What I know for sure is that I’ve gone back about a bajillion times. And I’ll be going back many, many times more. At the… Continue Reading “Bubbalou’s Bodacious Barbecue is As Good As It Gets”

Set Your Sail for The Old Fish House in Cocoa Beach

Note: this review of mine was originally published awhile back on a well-known travel site. Not a new review but I liked this place then and I still do!   There are so many chain restaurants in every American city and they certainly seem… Continue Reading “Set Your Sail for The Old Fish House in Cocoa Beach”

Fave Fotos: Places That Aren’t There Anymore

In a posting back on June 19th, I featured the well-known local spot Yellow Dog Eats in one of my reviews. I like the place. A lot. Unique Eatery in Gotha is how the header begins, if you’d like to check it out. And yes, YDE… Continue Reading “Fave Fotos: Places That Aren’t There Anymore”

Ruby Tuesday on University Blvd has amazing…

Yes, Ruby Tuesday has amazing brussels sprouts. But that’s just one reason to visit. I stopped in at the location on University Blvd not long ago after watching the Knights play softball.

Orlando Brewing is a Hidden Gem in Orlando’s Sodo District

You’ll find this low-key establishment in the southwestern corner of the downtown area, just west of ORMC… Continue Reading “Orlando Brewing is a Hidden Gem in Orlando’s Sodo District”

Fuel, the new barbecue joint next to The Alley in Sanford

If you’re into bars in Sanford’s historic district and like live music, you probably know about The Alley. They’ve been around for about twelve years now and everyone who’s anyone has played there. In addition to the killer music, they’ve got cold beer, a… Continue Reading “Fuel, the new barbecue joint next to The Alley in Sanford”

Searching for the Meaning of Life

This brief blog entry simply cannot be appreciated or understood unless you’ve cast your eyes over the accompanying photo. And, yes, I took the pic myself. No issues about ownership, copyrights or any such thing. And, if you must know, this humble sign adorns… Continue Reading “Searching for the Meaning of Life”

Hard to Beat Cecil’s Texas Style BBQ in O-town

      Cecil’s Texas Style BBQ is most definitely one of my favorite spots in south Orlando. I’m not the only devotee, the place is consistently packed at lunch-time. I’ve had just about everything they have to offer and have found their chow to… Continue Reading “Hard to Beat Cecil’s Texas Style BBQ in O-town”

No gator tail but great ‘cue at Adam’s Rib

I was in Gainesville for a sporting event last weekend and noticed Adam’s Rib right around dinner time. I liked the totally-indie look of the place; I eat at chain restaurants as much as anyone but always enjoy those “small joints” that feature great… Continue Reading “No gator tail but great ‘cue at Adam’s Rib”
