We were recently in Hershey, Pennsylvania and we were meeting family for breakfast. They suggested we go to their favorite place, The Hershey Pantry. This restaurant was packed and there was a wait. The good news is we did not have to wait too long. Looking over the menu there were several great options to choose from. I kept changing my mind while waiting for the waitress to come over and take our order. Once she arrived, I settled on ordering the Egg Sandwich on Pretzel Roll. The pretzel roll was amazing. It was extremely sweet and soft. On the…

Leave a CommentWhen visiting Hershey, Pennsylvania I was looking for a place to get fresh donuts. I came across Duck Donuts and popped in the take a look at what they had to offer. This was the cutest donut shop I had ever seen. It is duck themed, so there were rubber ducks everywhere plus cute donut themed products. They had a little shop where you could buy everything. When I got up to the counter, I checked out their menu. They had so many options. It was really overwhelming. You really need to go there with an idea of the flavors…
Leave a CommentI was in Harrisburg for a wedding recently and there was some time to kill between the ceremony and the reception. I was looking for a place to grab a quick drink and some munchies. Boro Bar and Grill was the perfect spot. The restaurant is in a perfect location along the Susquehanna River.

They felt extra stringy when they were bitten into when still hot. The kids at the table had…
Leave a CommentThere is a wonderful Italian restaurant in Lakeland, Florida that is only open for dinner. And it is a small place, so it is impossible to show up without a reservation. It had been many years since I had been there, so I decided to check them out. We had a reservation for a Monday, it made it a little easier to get a table. As soon as you walk in you must check out the chalkboard. This is where they list all their specials for the day. We were one of the first groups to be seated so the…
Leave a CommentIf you are in downtown Lakeland and looking for a wonderful Spanish influence restaurant then Nineteen Sixty-One is the place to visit. There are many great starters that are perfect for sharing around the table. The Brussel Sprouts were one of those dishes. They were flash fried and tossed in a maple balsamic vinaigrette. Then they were topped with raisin caramel and Manchego cheese. These were the sweetest Brussel sprouts that I have ever had. The maple vinaigrette and raisin caramel were a flawless combination of flavors that mellowed out the bitterness of the Brussel sprouts. The Peruvian Ceviche was…
Leave a CommentSo, if you are a fan of Diners, Drive-Ins, & Dives on the Food Network like I am going to a restaurant featured on the show is a fun thing to do. Especially when you are traveling to a different city. So, when I was in Albuquerque, New Mexico I had Standard Diner on my list to go visit. Unfortunately, they shut down in 2020. But luckily for the community a locally owned restaurant chain came into the building, and it re-opened as Range Café. And at this location they kept some special dishes on their menu from the original…
