What’s So Hot About Hell’s Kitchen in Minneapolis?

Kenin Bassart — Tue, 31 Mar 2015 16:47:57 +0000

From the moment we started looking into the best places to eat in Minneapolis, one name started coming up over and over again: Hell’s Kitchen. Located in the basement level of a skyscraper (where else would Hell be? ) in downtown Minneapolis, this restaurant has been a local staple of the Twin Cities’ food scene […]

Borden’s Ice Cream – The Last Store Left Standing

Lauren Bassart — Thu, 19 Mar 2015 18:45:31 +0000

While road tripping the craft brew trail in Louisiana, Kenin and I came upon a historic ice cream parlor on Johnston Street in Lafayette. This historic ice cream shoppe was built in 1940 and is the last one of Borden’s retail stores that is still left standing. We did the only thing we could, pulled in, parked the car […]

Cococo Chocolatiers – A Chocoholics Dream

Lauren Bassart — Thu, 12 Mar 2015 13:09:15 +0000

Who doesn’t like chocolate? Seriously, chocolate is the perfect food; rich, creamy, scrumptious, and versatile. You can use it for savory cooking, desserts and even in drinks. I must admit to being a bit (okay truthfully a little more than a bit) of a chocoholic. If allowed by the rest of my household, I would […]

The Most Unique and Best Brunches in Calgary

Kenin Bassart — Wed, 18 Feb 2015 21:12:32 +0000

We absolutely love a good brunch! What’s there not to like about waking up late on Sunday and dragging yourself out of the house for the only meal that allows you to have a cocktail before noon and not be judged? Thankfully the people of Calgary seem to love brunch as much as I do, […]

Down Home Dining at the Where Y’at Diner in Mandeville LA

Lauren Bassart — Thu, 20 Nov 2014 13:45:38 +0000

Down home cooking is something that Louisiana is incredibly well-known for, as is sugary sweet Southern charm. On our visit to the Where Y’at Diner in Mandeville we were served up with a healthy dose of both. The owner of this adorable diner, Liz Munson, puts her heart and soul into everything that goes on […]

A Day at the West Virginia Roadkill Cook-Off & Autumn Harvest Festival

Kenin Bassart — Fri, 03 Oct 2014 17:47:30 +0000

Ahh Fall. It’s one of our most enjoyable times of year. The trees are ablaze with incredible colors, there’s a cool crisp bite to the air, and everything is suddenly available in the seemingly unescapable flavor of Pumpkin Spice. Perhaps our favorite part of the season though, is that communities nationwide come together with festivals celebrating the […]

Carnivorous Bikers and Bountiful Beer at Dinosaur BBQ in Syracuse, NY

Lauren Bassart — Mon, 29 Sep 2014 15:45:29 +0000

Dinosaur BBQ restaurant in Syracuse is a well-known biker bar that serves great grub and the beer flows freely. My kind of place. We didn’t ride over here (we took the much more boring form of transportation also known as walking), but we did come across too many motorcycles to count parked all around the […]

Funk N Waffles – Best Breakfast in Syracuse, NY

Lauren Bassart — Mon, 22 Sep 2014 21:00:57 +0000

Waking up in Syracuse, NY I had one thing and one thing only on my mind…breakfast! After a night of beer tasting and exploring the city I woke up famished. Every person in Syracuse seemed to have the same recommendation for a good hearty hangover cure, and that was Funk N Waffles. I was a […]

Louisiana Cuisine – Breaking Down Preconceived Notions

Lauren Bassart — Mon, 15 Sep 2014 17:36:22 +0000

Louisiana cuisine, it’s not just gumbo and Po’ boys. French, Italian, German, African-American and American-Indian influences run deep in the food scene of the state. Well-seasoned grub, spiced with a lil’ bayou heat and a pinch of “ain’t nobody’s cooking better than mine” attitude makes Louisiana a go-to state for some of the best food […]
