Best Breakfast Ever? Visit Wild Eggs in Louisville, Kentucky

Kalamity Katie’s Border Benedict

I first heard about Wild Eggs earlier this year from several friends and family who are residents in Louisville, Kentucky. Typically when a single person says something is “awesome”, you can’t help to have some sort of skepticism… but as I brought it up in conversation with each friend & family member, every single one of them ranted & raved about how good it was. By the time I got my 6th opinion, I knew I had to pay Wild Eggs a visit.

I can only assume that the other two Wild Eggs have the same kind of quality as the …

For Breakfast In Sevier County, You Can’t Go Wrong With Flapjack’s Pancake Cabin

Pancakes (Flapjacks) w/ Syrup

To me, the Gatlinburg area means three things: a nature escape, a shopper’s paradise, and land of great food. In this land of great food, you’ll find some of the best breakfast restaurants in the state of Tennessee. Unfortunately I was only able to eat breakfast once but my experience was a great one. Today I present a visit to Flapjack’s Pancake Cabin.

For those familiar with the Gatlinburg area, you probably have noticed that there are several Flapjack’s Pancake Cabin restaurants in the area stretching from Kodak (when you get off Interstate 40) all the way down to …

If You Have A Sweet Tooth, Then Julia’s HomeStyle Bakery Is For You

Julia's HomeStyle Bakery

This past Sunday, Haley was craving some cupcakes for dessert. We were in Murfreesboro that day and just had lunch with our friends James and Emily from Madisonville. Before heading home, we decided to stop by Gigi’s Cupcakes. Unfortunately, we didn’t realize that this particular Gigi’s Cupcakes was not open on Sundays. Disappointed, we were about to head back until Haley mentioned that I brought a cupcake home in the past from “some bakery in Murfreesboro”. I knew exactly what bakery she was talking about. It was Julia’s HomeStyle Bakery. I had nearly forgotten about that visit and it …

Haley’s Homemade Cabbage Soup

The Vegetables

With the cold days fast approaching, I had a hankering for some soup. Since Haley and I didn’t get to document her cabbage soup from a couple weeks ago, I made a simple request for her to prepare it for me once again.

So when she got all the ingredients to make me a gigantic pot full of it on Sunday, you can imagine my excitement because I started dancing around like a little kid.

The soup is actually very simple to make and takes minimal ingredients. Maybe that’s why it tastes so good. Since I’m more of a …

Malone’s of Lexington Finally Fulfills My Steak Craving

Malone\'s - Palomar

Those of you who are regulars know that I’ve been craving a USDA Prime steak for some time now. My last visit to a steakhouse came close, but didn’t quite fit the bill. Despite having available options just down the road to Metro Nashville, I didn’t have the time to make those reservations. So when my next opportune time came, I instead decided to make a 228 mile trek to the home of my Alma mater: Lexington, Kentucky. Lexington, Kentucky isn’t quite the place you’d think to go for a great steak… let alone USDA Prime graded beef, but …
