I was visiting Jacksonville Beach, Florida and a good friend told me I had to visit her favorite Mexican restaurant, Taco Lu. This family owned establishment has been serving up homemade tacos and Mexican specialties since 2008. I was reading about how they started and it is an awesome story about taking risks and being an entrepreneur. The décor is very colorful. There are sugar skulls everywhere.

I headed to the restaurant DJT located on the main floor of the hotel. It was a pretty big place that was decorated nicely. I kept…
Leave a CommentIf you are driving between Atlanta, Georgia and Birmingham, Alabama along Interstate 20, you will drive through the town of Oxford, Alabama. This is the perfect place to stop during your drive because it is about the halfway point between each city. So while you are stopped I would recommend you visit a local BBQ joint called Bard’s Bar-B-Que. They have bee serving BBQ to the folks of Oxford since 1988. The quaint family owned business had every type of meat you could want on the menu, including fried white fish (similar to catfish). Anyone who has read my blog…
