The Restaurant Grill with the Homiest Diner File
I remember growing up and hearing everybody talk about the spot you went to get the best greasy fried chicken after a night of partying, drinking, and making out. Sometimes when you were trying to impress someone you would take them to a fancy restaurant and end up disappointed and hungry, so you headed to the place to eat after you eat. No fancy tables, no tablecloths, a relaxed atmosphere, and the spot where everybody would meet up. For years I dreamed about being able to experience what the folks were talking about and waited for the day when I could go to the best greasy fried chicken spot in town. Now the spot is not for the faint at heart, because they are down home people, serving down home food, with a down home attitude. You know you better get in where you fit in. Walk in and somebody is going to holler hello, but nobody is going to come to the door and seat you. Building not fancy and some might say it is not clean, but I have learned that some of the most delicious meals are prepared in just this type of atmosphere. Get too fancy and you lose all taste and flavor.

Eating Around Philadelphia. Top Story - August 2020.
The Philadelphia food scene is very sophisticated, when not in a world pandecmic you need a reservation at just about any place, espically since some restaurants have few tables, like less then 10! There are also tons of BYOB places, meaning they are very food foward and will only serve you flat or sparkling water. Honestly you could live in Philadelphia your whole life and rarely have to repeat a resturant.

Positivity in crisis
Social distancing doesn’t have to mean isolated. At lunchtime in Bean Social, a lively café on Durham’s North Road, the tables may be spaced out, but conversation still ebbs and flows between them. A couple of weeks after returning from lockdown, it feels appealingly normal; a space to meet and eat.

Getting Back in the Corner Booth
Across the country, the discussion around the restaurant industry during the pandemic has been full of questions. How will restaurants survive long-term closures? Will social-distancing measures be upheld by wait staff and patrons alike? Will the treat of eating out ever be the same?

Where help and hope are on the menu. Top Story - June 2020.
Not every café is the same. On Chester-le-Street High Street, REfUSE has established itself as a hub in this County Durham market town. The café has a special ethos – combating food waste by rescuing ingredients rejected by retail and creating a vibrant community space in the town centre. That usually makes it a bustling hub, with live music and open mic nights adding to a winning recipe, and all on a ‘pay-as-you-feel’ basis.

The Top McDonald’s UNHappy Meal Toys Ever
Having your parents buy you a Happy Meal at McDonald’s was easily one of the best things when you were a kid. Being able to open that box and see what toy was inside was just like Christmas morning. Happy Meals have existed at the iconic fast food joint since 1979 and have been making kids happy ever since. The Happy Meal toys are sometimes a collaboration with another industry (movie based toys for example), or sometimes just an original McDonald’s creation. The selection of toys is always changing and some are a hit among kids while others are well, not so great. Here are the top 10 saddest McDonald’s Happy Meal toys ever sold.
