Man Friend is a West Virginia native, so this January when we headed over to meet the parents and explore his hometown he wanted to give me the authentic experience. Apparently in West Virginia that means having a hotdog with sauce and slaw. I first learned about hot dog sauce pretty early in our relationship.… Continue reading TBT | Sauce & Slaw at the Root Beer Shack

Where Have I Been?
I have been absent! I know. And I’m sorry. The last few months have been so busy and crazy and unpredictable! This has been caused by a lot of different things, but I figured I would share the most exciting (and life-changing) one: I got engaged! Yep, that’s right. Last month Man Friend hopped on… Continue reading Where Have I Been?
We All Scream for Ice Cream at Graeters!
Graeters ice cream is one of my favorite parts about being in Northern Kentucky (aside from all the lovely people, obviously). The details make it at Graters. Their shops all keep up this cute ice cream parlor vibe that reminds me of grabbing cones in the summer with my grandparents in the ’90s (you know,… Continue reading We All Scream for Ice Cream at Graeters!
A Taste of Kentucky at Patti’s 1880s Settlement
Patti’s is more than just a restaurant. It’s an experience. Located in Grand Rivers, Kentucky, just outside of national recreation area Land Between the Lakes, Patti’s is well-loved by locals and travelers alike.

Louisville Brunch at Wild Eggs
Enjoying a weekend in Louisville, my friends (who had recently moved there) asked me where we should try for brunch. I had heard about Wild Eggs, but hadn’t had the chance to experience it yet, so we decided to give it a shot. Since we went at 10 a.m. on a Saturday morning, I expected… Continue reading Louisville Brunch at Wild Eggs
Greasy Delight At Matt B’s
Murray, Kentucky is a small town kept bustling by the university bearing the same name. Murray is a place full of traditions both old and new, where the best things are often understated and not ostentatious. That’s precisely the case with Matt B’s Main Street Pizza, a pizza joint that lies across main street from… Continue reading Greasy Delight At Matt B’s
TBT | Dining Fine at Tri Sesira
While in Serbia we caught a taxi downtown for some lunch. We landed in Skadarlija, an old bohemian neighborhood in the center of Belgrade. Tri Sesira, or “The Three Hats,” in English, caught our eye with its beautiful terrace seating and affordable menu. The menu had relatively good English translations, which is always very helpful.… Continue reading TBT | Dining Fine at Tri Sesira
Those Parcell’s Doughnuts Make Me Go Nuts
Parcell’s Bakery is possibly my favorite doughnut stop in the entire world. Located in Draffenville, Kentucky just a few miles from I-24, it’s a great place to drop in and grab some delicious and local flavor. The doughnuts are made fresh every morning, and it’s less than $10 for a dozen. That’s including filled long-johns,… Continue reading Those Parcell’s Doughnuts Make Me Go Nuts
TBT | Mix’n it up at Mixr Pizza
When I’m in Budapest, there is one place I always try to hit up: Mixr pizza. It’s a love affair that started years ago, and it never fails to deliver. Except that I always eat in. There are three locations of Mixr spread around the city. My last time there I dropped in near Heroes… Continue reading TBT | Mix’n it up at Mixr Pizza
New Year, New Stuff
It’s 2017! The last few months of life have been crazy. Lots of changes, transitions, new experiences and new places. Going into the new year, I’m trying not to make a lot of plans, and as usual that isn’t working out. One thing I do want to try to do, however, is keep up with… Continue reading New Year, New Stuff
