Review: Big Bubba Buck’s Belly Bustin’ BBQ Bliss, Munfordville KY

April 24, 2009

Don’t you LOVE that name? I mean, really. Alliteration is always amusing. I discovered this little barbecue place as we were driving. I pointed wildly: “Look! A barbecue place!” There was a gigantic highway sign (the ones usually reserved for Motel 5 and Shoney’s) along I-64 on the way to Nashville. We hadn’t stopped for [...]

Review: Kenning’s Circle K

Mini-Review: TJ’s Mini Croissants

April 15, 2009

(Guest post by The Boyfriend) Just after our Christmas trip to Paris and Munich, I did a review of Des Gateaux et du Pain (which I prefer to call “The House of Pain” because I’m weird that way), home of the World’s Best Croissants.   While endlessly singing the praises of their croissants and pastries, I [...]
