Enjoying life one bite at a time.
Where do you want to eat? Throughout childhood this seemly harmless question has caused great chaos, often propelling my family to the nearest Applebee’s far too many times.
Hoping to be helpful, I’ve complied a list of restaurants linked to posts about my experiences. Keep in mind, these are my honest humble opinions, so take them as you will.
Here’s to putting a stop to aimlessly driving around hungry, and of course, enjoying life one bite at a time.

You need to add one more to your list for New Orleans. It is Jacques-Imo’s. It is located on Oak Street and has an appetizer called Alligator Cheesecake that is to die for!!! The website is jacquesimoscafe.com.
Posted by Christy Anderson | January 28, 2011, 11:29 amThanks for the recommendation! I keep a running spreadsheet of places I’ve been and want to visit, just in case the need arises.
