Jen It seemed appropriate for a pre-birthday dinner to celebrate in a restaurant that was also established 50 years ago, so we went to Mr. Paul’s Chop House in Roseville. Owned by the same family since 1968, it is a Roseville icon that has been serving steaks and seafood as long as I have been alive. … Read more
Clawson Steak House has been a Clawson icon for 60 some years. Some say that August marked its 60th anniversary, some say 61. Either way, that is impressive. Ownership has moved around within the family, but essentially has been at the same spot, owned by the same family and still going strong. That says a … Read more
I don’t typically do this, but when I encounter service that needs to be talked about, I have to let you all know. So recently, I tweaked my low back golfing. Had the most excruciating pain, you have no idea. I tried it all, drugs, chiropractor, massage, all seemed to help, none seemed to solve. … Read more
Growing up, I was a Madison Heights resident. I attended Lamphere and by Madison Heights law, I had to visit Augie’s Bar and Gill countless times in my life. Heck, even back in my younger, more impetuous days a band I played keyboards in played there on a few occasions. That, however, was a lifetime … Read more
Its Friday night and Omar and I face the age old question, where do we go out? Somewhere new so we have fodder for the blog, or a tried and true favorite? As I mentioned in an earlier post, Omar and I joined the Landry Club. We joined at Morton’s when we tried out their … Read more

I know this is a bit unusual, doing a review of a party store, but I felt that I had to give a big shout out to Faris and the gang at the 9 Mile & Hilton Market. I was looking for a specific bottle of Whiskey for Omar for our Anniversary and was having … Read more
It was Saturday morning, I was starving and thought I would convince Omar to go out to breakfast with me. I wanted to try something new, and always heard great things from the Breakfast Club in Madison Heights. It’s funny, this restaurant is in the same building as a Dairy Factory was when I was … Read more
I was at my physical therapist (seeing because I hurt my back golfing!!) who by the way is awesome so far. TOP Physical Therapy – Total Orthopedic Performance – Ross Walker. They are at 15 & Ryan. Everyone is really nice and it seems to be helping. Getting old sucks. Anywho, I was there and we … Read more
While dining at Morton’s and the manager Matt talked us into purchasing the Landry’s Card (you can read all about HERE) he suggested one of the places we should try is the River Crab in Saint Clair. We were deciding what to do the next night and dining outside on the water sounded like a … Read more
