I’m not much of a hamburger fan, but In-N-Out Burger does it for me. I think it’s the best fast food burger anywhere hands down. In-N-Out Burger is a West Coast institution.

Preserving New Orleans Culture, One Po’Boy at a Time Don’t you wish you were in New Orleans right now? I’m actually glad I’m not, I hate crowds!

The History of the Monte Cristo Sandwich Where in earth did this sandwich come from? I remember eating it as a child when we went out to eat. My friend, Brady, just took my daughter, Grace, to Disneyland for her birthday. They were there from 10 am until it closed at 11:30 pm! One of […]
