The day after we went to Bastone Brewery Omar actually agreed to go to Royal Oak again! Was it he is warming up to the food diversity there, or was it just because our friends Ray and Denise suggested it? It was funny, because Denise and I made tentative plans to meet at Mr. Paul’s … Read more
You may remember my previous Bastone Brewery Post (read here). We went for lunch during work, so I was unable to sample or review the beer. I finally was able to drag Omar to Royal Oak. Begrudgingly, he agreed to go to the “biggest pain in the butt city to park”. As I now work … Read more
So Omar and I had to kill some time while his daughter was at Lakeside Mall with her friends. Didn’t make a lot of sense to drive home and then drive all the way back. We decided to grab some dinner at the Sterling’s Bistro (in the Lakeside parking lot, next to the new Fuddruckers). … Read more
Finally got the opportunity to take Omar to Boodles in Madison Heights. We were on our way to the Token Lounge in Westland. Since we didn’t really know that area, we opted to stop before jumping on the freeway. Which, by the way, is conveniently located right next to Boodles! You may recall from my … Read more
Last Friday, Omar and I snuck out for a quick dinner, with a craving for a good burger and a new destination in mind, The Old Detroit Burger Bar, which took over the old Mr. B’s on Rochester Road in Troy. The website touts itself as “the best burger in town”. With a claim like … Read more
Last night I went with my beautiful Jen to Volcano Sushi. Now I like sushi and sashimi but I am hardly an expert.

I know. Olive Garden again. Don’t I learn? I went out to dinner with my friend Lisa, and let her choose the location. Olive Garden is just one of those places that is just OK. I have been trying to order lower calorie food in restaurants, and tonight was no different. It was very busy … Read more
Went to Onyx Modern Steakhouse and Whiskey Bar for lunch the other day, to celebrate a couple work birthdays. Now Onyx may look familiar to you, it looks like the old Woody’s reincarnated because it is. Woody’s is gone, and in its place, a steakhouse where you cook your steaks “on the rocks”, or cook … Read more
It was my Dad’s birthday and my brother and I were taking my Dad out to dinner. Looking for somewhere close to home and we could get a beer we decided on Joe Kools. My original suggestion was Big Beaver Tavern and I was sadly surprised to find they closed. Not sure what happened to … Read more
Last night Omar and I went out to dinner and I had a hankering for Mexican Food. Although we typically just go to El Patio, since it is just across the street, and great food & service (check out my prior post here) I was really craving the fluffy tacos from El Charro. Feeling lazy … Read more
