But, that’s exactly what you’ll get when you visit Portland’s Bayou Kitchen - Maine’s FAVORITE breakfast spot. Normally I give myself a little time … Continue reading »
Breakfast…Somewhere Over in Rainbow
Who wouldn’t want to eat breakfast in a place called Rainbow? It would be like not wanting to eat breakfast in Happy Land, Hawaii or Little Heaven, Delaware or Carefree, Arizona. It’s a name that begs a visit, so that’s exactly what I did when Rainbow Oaks Restaurant in Rainbow, California was voted Southern California’s … Continue reading »

Goin’ Back to My Roots at The Root Cellar
I’ll admit. When Texas landed on the breakfast trip calendar, I secretly hoped that San Marcos, my hometown, would win the heart of the Lone Star State and the followers of Little Lee’s BREAKFAST IN AMERICA…and, to my amazement and delight, it did!

A Breakfast Feast in Michigan
When I made my way to the Midwest this past fall, I kept my expectations at a minimum. I had no preconceived notions of the people, the landscape or the food. And, if I had? Well, let’s just say this…if my trip had been a baseball game, the Midwest hit every ball out of the … Continue reading »
Breakfast in Milwaukee? Yes, please.
If you would have asked me a few months ago what I knew about Milwaukee, the only thing I would have conjured up would have been, Schlemiel! Schlimazel! Hasenpfeffer Incorporated! because Laverne & Shirley is only thing I would have known about that city…until a I took my first trip to the beautiful Midwest this past fall. Incidentally, Laverne & Shirley wasn’t … Continue reading »
Hominy Grill…Quintessentially Charleston
When I picture “Charleston” there are certain images that come to mind…long, tree-lined driveways leading up to palatial plantations, the scoundrel Rhett Butler and the silly little dance they made me do in fourth grade P.E. at Travis Elementary School in San Marcos, Texas.
