Beef O Brady

The other day I went on a date/meet/bite to eat. Anyway we decide we would go to Beefs on Veteran Pkwy to watch the game. We walk in and they weren't crowded at all. Problem was no one approached us or welcomed us. I felt like turning around and leaving, but decide to stay and seat ourselves. Well after about 5 minutes our so called waiter showed up and handed us so menus. I ordered lime and water like I sometimes do. She had a Miller Light. Since all the appetizers where half off we order several. While sitting there and losing ourselves in conversation we realized that 10 minutes had past and we still hadn't received our beverages. So just when I was getting up to say something I seen her coming from the bar. "Sorry for the delay" she said. OK fine it happens. The food came out pretty quick and I was shocked at how fast. Make me think it was microwaved, LOL. As she left I realized that we never received our utensils to eat with and ended up having to go get our own. The food was OK. Not anything to brag about. The chicken wings where extremely undercooked and had to be sent back. There was a hair in the ranch dressing! what happen to hair nets? The potato skin where wonderful, cooked just right. We didn't care to much for the sour cream, it had a funny taste to it. We also had the boneless chicken which was hard as a rock!! you could have threw it at some glass and broke it. The fried mozzarella stick where OK, but the sauce was crap. Would I return here, L NO!! That's the first and only time they will see me! Trust me don't waste your time!!!!

Grippos

Truth be told Bar-B-Q Grippos has to be my favorite potato chip. I've been eating these since I was a kid. But I have a problem with them as much as I love them, I'm complaining!! No two bags are a like. I mean, one day you buy a bag and its seasoned to perfection. Then the very next day you purchase a bag and there barely any seasoning at all. Whats up with that? I know all you Grippo eaters out there know exactly what I'm talking about. Whats funny is everyone has a "PROVEN" method when it comes to picking out a great bag, a well seasoned bag! You have the shake method, the corner to corner, and the pinch. Just to name a few. Well after so many years of being disappointed I'm going to start calling the company, which BTW is located in OHIO. Yep time to start voicing my unsatisfaction!!

Logans RoadHouse

Yesterday was my first time dining at Logans Roadhouse. It was located on Dixie Hwy. I really can't tell why I've never eaten there before. Well upon entering we where greeted with smiles, the way it should be with all restaurants. The first thing I noticed was that there where thousands of peanut shells on he floor. This was a shock to me, I mean I've never seen anything like that before LOL. Not knowing why, I asked and well that's just how they do it at Logans. I'm pretty sure my daughters would love to eat here they're always throwing something on my floor at home. We arrived with 30 minutes left for happy hour, so we ordered some drinks and appetizers. Started off with a Long Island Ice Tea and wow it had me spinning after about several sips. Pretty good drink and well made. By the time I was half the way finish with my drink our appetizers came along with my house salad with ranch dressing. The salad was great, nice crispy lettuce, super red tomato's, cheese, and not really enough bacon. The dressing was one of the best ranches I've tasted and definitely impressed me. The 3 sample appetizer came with buffalo wings. cheese sticks, and potato skins. I really don't care to much for cheese sticks but hey where pretty good. The wings on the other hand where the bomb. I will definitely go back to get a to go wing dinner sometime this coming week. The potato skins where cooked just right but could've used a little more cheese and bacon. I ended up ordering a full slab of ribs and a sweet potato. The ribs where tender (fall off the bone tender) and the sweet potato was just a tad bit over cooked. Oh before I forget their bread/rolls are wonderful. They came out HOT, and the cinnimon butter just melted right over them. Logans you get a thumbs up!!

The other day I was at TJ Maxx and picked up a bag of Erin Bakers Granola (Peanut Butter Flavored). Now I'm not real big on granola but at the moment I was in my eat right mentality, LOL. Now the last time I had granola it sucked!!! So I vowed to never eat it again. Guess what? I love this particular brand. This stuff is awesome, and I can't find it anywhere. As most of you know, TJ Maxx only sells limited stock items. So it looks like I'm out of luck. Anyway, if you ever comes across a bag grab them up cause they are very very good. P.S let me know where if you don't mind.

Hong Kong Restaurant

Here I am sitting in the Hong Kong Restaurant off of 3rd st. 5312 South 3rd street suite 102 to be exact. I'm having the General Tso Chicken and Crab Rangoon.  My friend is having a Shrimp Eggroll and Shrimp Fried Rice. I usually don't eat Chinese food but today I'm making an exception. Upon arriving we where greeted with friendly faces and smiles. The restaurant was clean and the food smelled great. It took about 6 mins for the for to come out and because we where dining in, the food was brought out to us. Only thing I didn't like was that they didn't serve fountain drinks, and the sodas in the fridge wasn't really that cold. Back to the food! Everything was arranged neatly on the dish and was cooked to perfection. I would recommend this eatery to anyone looking for some good Chinese food.

Sweet N Swirly

Just stopped by this frozen yogurt shop on Veterans Pkwy in Clarksville Indiana. Its called Sweet N Swirly and its GOOD! I had the Pom Raspberry, and I have to say I was impressed. It was tart and sweet. The employees where very nice and where very helpful. Everyone who came in was greeted and helped. In opinion Sweet N Swirly is a winner in my book.

"The Worlds Largest Halloween Party!" "NOT!!!"

What a bunch of crap, how in the world has this thing made it to a 30 year anniversary!! Wow all I can say is WOW. Ok yesterday I took my two daughters to the Louisville Zoo for their so called Worlds Largest Halloween Party. This was our first visit and our last visit. Upon arriving there my expectations where high. All the children (and some parents) in their costumes, holding their oversized trick or treat bags. You could see the excitement in their eyes. Little did they know that their excitement would be gone by the end of their visit. The lines where long but moved very quickly. Tickets where $8 at the window, but you could have purchased them at Meiger for $6.50. Instead of parking miles away and waiting for the free shuttle we decided to park at the zoo. Oh yeah they charge 5 bucks for that, SMH. On the website they state that some of the animal exhibits are not guaranteed to be open beyond dusk. Well hell I seen a zebra, a giraffe, and 2 monkeys. Now what would it have hurt to have the animals out forth publics viewing. Again SMDH!! As we where making our way through the park there where little booths set up where they passed out the candy. Each child received 1 piece of candy. Yes I said 1 piece of candy. Not the good candy either. More like penny candy! I didn't see no one Milky Way, Snicker, Twix at all. Not even Milk Duds! Yes there where characters from several movies and t.v show, basically they where workers and volunteers dress in costumes with make up and paint. There was one large blow up dinosaur that was just that a blow up dinosaur. I think the most fun thing there was the maze that was made out of bales of hay. So here we are making our way around and collecting their one piece of candy and then BAM! It's over. You back at the exit. What?!! You have to be kinding me, I mean really! My kids collected a grand total of 15 pieces of small candy and got their picture taken with batman, sherk, and the scarecrow. All these big name sponors that are named and this is the end result. The Louisville Zoo should be ashamed and totally revamp, "The Worlds Largest Halloween Party"!!
