Tasty Travels: Hash House A Go Go

During our recent trip to Las Vegas, we visited Hash House a Go Go. And all I have to say is …GO GO to HH. This place totally rocks! The portions are obscenely ginormous, the food is phenomenal, and the servers are totally cool. The menu is full of familiar farm fresh favorites, but with [...]

Eating Local is exactly what Superior Dairy in Hanford, CA is all about. This local dairy sells all types of milk products in those awesome old fashioned glass jars. Attached to the tiny store front, is an old ice cream parlor.

Review: Communal

April 23, 2010

I can not express the JOY that overcame me when we ate at Communal for dinner for the first time. {cue in beam of light and angels singing} In a sea of chain restaurants, pseudo ethnic foods, and prepackaged insta-food stands Communal Restaurant.

Review: Spark Lounge – Provo UT

April 22, 2010

Spark Lounge is a modern restaurant/lounge in downtown Provo, UT. The space is modern and yet inviting. It is not what you would expect to see in Downtown Provo.  A totally alcohol free restaurant, the first thing I noticed was their unique selection of “mocktails” and sodas. They even have a shirley temple with cotton candy. Overall, the [...]
