Best and worst restaurants from all over the world, featuring some of our favorite or worst dishes and desserts.
New York pizza
It is interesting when you ask someone what is their favorite restaurant, what you learn about their personality. All my friends like to be able to talk without shouting. They enjoy socializing with the staff and each other. Some though prefer a more pretentious environment. While others want a relaxed community, down-to-earth setting. I tend to like both. I usually dress so that a flip of a coin I can go either way. But I have learned what kind of restaurant each friend prefers. I learned through trial and error. Once I made a mistake and took one friend for pizza. Her only comment was "They need to decorate the walls more" No opinion on the pizza, just the interior decorating. I never took her back there. We tried another pizza place -The Loop. This one she felt was too expensive for what you got. I think we discussed the chairs. I had wished I could buy two. Usually, I let her pick the restaurant The environment at the Loop is pretty plain, but I often run into people I know when I go there. In my opinion, it is a community restaurant even though it is not that personable. One of its strong points is the busboy. He has been there for years. He is friendly and will remember you if you come in a lot. A lot of families eat there. It usually isn't too loud, unless there is a birthday party. For other friends, the Loop is decorated alright, but the high turnover does not blend enough into their perception of a community restaurant. Again it is too expensive for what you get. Everybody seems to enjoy their interaction with the busboy.

Sushi, Service, and a Smile
There are probably half a dozen sushi restaurants, or more, in Kamloops. My boyfriend, J, and I dared to adventure a few weeks ago and try out a Korean-Japanese restaurant neither one of us had been to. Other than that though, we've really only gone to one restaurant for sushi: Arigato Sushi.

How to Travel Overseas Without a Passport?
Is it possible? Yes, it is! Imagine planning an overseas trip without having to incur the expenses of either purchasing a plane ticket, making a hotel reservation or even having to lobby your boss for vacation time approval.

The Best Little Hoagie Place in Pennsylvania
I need to tell you about the best bologna sandwich I've ever had. I realize that most people don't have specific memories about bologna sandwiches...or even specific feelings about bologna sandwiches...but years later I can tell you every delicious detail about that sandwich. It was that good.

Gourmet and Ghosts
Food, sustenance, grub - whatever you want to call it - we all have to have it. This is one need that we can spice up or down to our tastes. I love all different types of foods which seems to be odd considering I grew up in a meat and potatoes home. I didn't really know the different types of cuisines until I got a bit older. When I was growing up here in Calgary, I don't remember many restaurants being around other than the White Spot that used to be across from the Knox United Church downtown (see last article attached for more ghostly info) and of course some restaurants in the city's Chinatown.

It's Really a Hut!!!
A perfectly toasted French roll, a healthy layer of yellow mustard, and then heaps of pastrami, all with a dill pickle spear on the side; do you know what that is? I do. It’s perfection, also known as a pastrami sandwich from Tom’s restaurant in the high desert of California.

The Decadent Small Town Hot Dog
I chose Galesburg's Coney Island for the Eat Local challenge because it has been a hallmark of my hometown for as long as I can remember. I literally can't remember a time when I didn't love the coney dogs from Coney Island. In fact, as I was free during the noon hour today, I swung by there for the decedent treat that is their coney dog.

Eat at El Andariego
El Andariego Restaurant, Ashton, Maryland El Salvadorean and Mexican Cuisine I happen to live in the suburbs of the Nation's capital, which is utopia for diners seeking variety in eating options. Montgomery County, Maryland, suburb to Washington DC, has students from 164 different countries who arrived speaking 184 different languages. And somewhere within the metropolitan area there is likely to be a restaurant or a food stand selling food representative of each of those countries.

My Slice of Italy
I think it's important to support local businesses, especially right now during a global pandemic. By shopping and eating locally, you help the small companies trying to make ends meet, the mom and dads trying to leave a legacy for their children, the young entrepreneurs trying to make their mark on the world, and above all else, you support the American way of life. Yes, it's more convenient to buy from Walmart or eat at McDonald's, but those companies are rolling in money! They have so much income and lawyers it hurts. On the other hand, Ma Teller and her son Dale only have their sales till at the end of the day, after paying their suppliers, utilities, rent, business license fees, etc. And after all that, have to compete with these gigantic places that take up all the business! What a raw deal. So, whenever my fiancee and I go out somewhere, we try to find a local eatery.
