Stimulus Tuesdays @ Carmike: $1 caramel popcorn
We’ve been known to drive significantly out of our way for the chance to have a little caramel popcorn with our movie. They’ve offered a few interesting varieties (chocolate & blue raspberry), but, the real winner is the buttery original.

St Louis cut ribs and pulled pork
Now open for about two weeks, Smokin J’s dished up this well-prepared plate of St Louis cut ribs and pulled pork. The ribs were a gorgeous shade of pink. They had a great smoky flavor made even better by the carefully charred exterior. […]
Mystery Chocolates
Shopping for chocolates at New Odessa can be a bit of a mystery. I love marshmallows. And, the above photo depicts a marshmallow… yes? Yes. But, it also illustrates a plum or a grape or… maybe a fig? A jelly-filled chocolate? I was hoping for fig in some […]
Buffalo Burger & sweet potato with cinnamon butter
I can’t tell you why. But, I really really want to like this place. Maybe it has something to do with the incredibly friendly staff and charming surroundings. For me, stepping into Ted’s Montana Grill feels like stepping onto a movie set. […]
Camarones Brochettes

Delicious Day-glo colored Sweets from Royal Sweets
While all the sweets were lovely, we particularly enjoyed the figgy pinwheels. Sadly, we don’t know the name of these treats. Royal Sweets doesn’t label all of their treats. We did find the laddu (toasted wheat and butter balls) a bit […]

Shortrib & Lamb Pizza
This pizza is full of flavor. Tender, braised shortrib is one of my all-time favorite things. It has a luxurious buttery quality that underlines all the positive attributes of beef. The tender shreds on this pizza illustrate that point beautifully. Coupled with red pepper, crumbled goat […]
