Smith & Wollensky Steakhouse

In 2006, Tanya and I hosted a dinner for some clients and friends in Las Vegas, NV. Neither of us really knew where we should hold this dinner, but knew we wanted an upscale steakhouse. I asked around and many times the suggestion of Smith & Wollensky came up. We checked out their menu online and decided that we would try it out. Since the dinner was going to be attended by 25-30 people, we had to prepare a menu ahead of time. I love crab cake but Tanya never had it before. She likes mac & cheese and that …

Don Quijotes Spanish Restaurante

Don Quijote’s Spanish Restaurante [adrotate group=”6″] Indiana’s oldest and only authentic Spanish restaurant I enjoy good food. Finding good food can present a challenge at times, especially when you travel to places that are not exactly tourist attractions. Northwest Indiana is one of those places. While Cracker Barrel and Steak and Shake are okay in a pinch, they do not exactly meet my standards for a quality meal.

Neptune’s Net at County Line

Riding across the County Line we arrive at Neptune’s Net. Sunday is a nice day for it if you like looking at other bikes. Any other day of the week is a good day for it because it is a nice ride. They serve a nice burger and have a wide assortment of very cold beer. I posted some pictures of the bikes and other views, if interested.

Gu Gu Sushi

Gu Gu Sushi [adrotate group=”6″] Specialty Rolls Gu Gu Sushi is my go to place when I want to blow someone away.

I let the first time visitor pick whatever they want, because the most mediocre roll I ever had there was pretty dang good. If you like sushi, and are close to Hermosa Beach, do yourself a favor. You can thank me later. [adrotate group=”1″]

I take pictures of my food before I eat it

Dinner at Lucille’s Smokehouse Bar-B-Que[adrotate group=”6″]   I seem to go out to eat a lot. Some friends came into town today and we ended up at Lucille’s Smokehouse Bar-B-Que in Torrance, CA.  As you can tell from the pictures the servings are pretty big, and the prices are more than reasonable. Their tri-tip and ham are a couple of my favorites. Their desserts are good but you have to plan ahead if you want to try them as you will be stuffed [with leftovers] by the time your server asks if you want a dessert.         …
