TRAVEL HERE: WELL, YOU CAN FORGET THE ALAMO DRAFTHOUSE AND CINEMA! Talk about an epic fail! Alamo Drafthouse and Cinema recent mailing campaign would have to be the worse pratfall I’ve observed in a long time. I remember opening my mailbox and finding their thick laminated postcard a few weeks back.  My first thought? “OMG! Imagine howContinue reading “Forget the Alamo?”

TRAVEL HERE: CAFE HERRERA IN DALLAS TX My vigil at Mom’s side is over. It was a bittersweet time. I was happy to have the honor of serving her, but for her, the battle was brutal.

TRAVEL HERE: MAGGIANO’S PROVIDES A DELICIOUS MEAL When you live in Dallas, you never ever have to go back to anyplace that you don’t like.  I’d been to Maggiano’s a couple of times and hadn’t felt like there was any reason to return.

TRAVEL HERE: SIP & SAVOR IN PLANO TX My two besties are both named Deb.

The exception to the rule is Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers. Raising Cain’s Story Where do I begin?  Well, to start, let’s talk about the actual restaurants.  CanContinue reading “Raising Cain about Raising Cane’s”

TRAVEL HERE: A BIT OF PAREE, RIGHT HERE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD Shortly after Cadot opened, I visited for lunch a couple of times, but that was before I started blogging.
