The Traveling Review: May 2008
http://travelingreview.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 9, 2008. Clairpointe Resturaunt, Grosse Pointe, MI. Poncho and Lefty look for more than just food. They travel in search of all things local, a sense of place, and an understanding of the people who call the places they visit home. This is all well and good, but lots of times they stick out like sore thumbs as regulars size up the pair and try to figure out exactly who they are and what they are up to. It is hard to “blend in” while taking pictures of food. The Clairpointe was comfortable and...

The Traveling Review: B&J's Steak & Seafood, Darien, Georgia
http://travelingreview.blogspot.com/2009/07/b-steak-seafood-darien-georgia.html
Friday, July 24, 2009. B&J's Steak and Seafood, Darien, Georgia. Lefty declares the best fried shrimp he has ever eaten can be found at B&J Seafood on Hwy 17 in the coastal town of Darien, Ga. The words "Fresh Shrimp" sprawled across the unasuming concrete block building are the first clue that there's something good inside. The next is the packed parking lot and people standing outside the door waiting for their turn at the seafood buffet that awaits them inside. You can learn more about Wild Georgia Sh...

Friday, June 1, 2007. Sgt White's Diner, Beaufort, South Carolina. Sometimes there are vacations where everything seems to go awry. There are times when impending vacation doom is only hours away, but the travelers move on with their plans blissfully unaware of the misfortune that the travel gods will throw upon them just around the next corner. Sgt White's is a good stop in Beaufort. If you have some extra time, visit beautiful Hunting Island State Park just over a few rivers and a couple of barrier...

The Traveling Review: September 2008

Tuesday, September 2, 2008. The Lady and Sons, Savannah, Georgia. It should come as no surprise that Poncho and Lefty consider themselves connoisseurs of southern cuisine. As such, they felt that a trip down to Savannah for a meal at Paula Deen’s The Lady and Sons restaurant was in order. For lunch at the Lady and Sons guests are encouraged to order off of the all-you-can-eat buffet. This gives you a nice but limited sampling of Paula’s famous southern favorites. There are a few additional ...In summary&...

Monday, June 15, 2009. Fuego Spanish Grill, Atlanta, Georgia. It may be poor etiquette, but Poncho and Lefty never shy away from sampling each others’ entrees at a great restaurant. A little taste here, a little sip there and before you know it they are swapping plates completely! It will come as no surprise then that tapas, the intimate Spanish-influenced dining experience that encourages “sharing”, is a favorite! S secluded sections for parties or special occasions. Poncho is a fan of Fuego’s bal...

Wednesday, November 12, 2008. Caribbe Inn Motel, Atlantic Beach, NC. During a visit to North Carolina’s Crystal Coast, Poncho and Lefty found themselves in need of a place to lay their heads on Atlantic Beach. As they drove, North Carolina Route 58 across the narrow strip of land that makes up the Bouge Islands, just south of the Outer Banks the pair happened upon the “Caribbe Inn”. The Caribe Inn can be found at:. 309 East Fort Macon Rd. Atlantic Beach, NC 28512. Http:/ www.caribbe-inn.com/. To contact ...

Wednesday, July 11, 2007. Leiper's Fork, Tennessee, Historic District. Poncho and Lefty love the backroads, and it was on some very backroads that the pair found themselves arriving in Leiper’s Fork, TN. Leiper’s Fork is outside of Franklin, which is outside of Nashville, and Poncho and Lefty felt like they were way outside of anywhere by the time they saw the Leiper’s Fork historic district sign at the edge of town. There are several unique shops worth poking your heads into. One offered an extensiv...

The Traveling Review: November 2006
http://travelingreview.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 11, 2006. Rudy's Country Store and Bar-B-Q, Leon Springs, Texas. Poncho and Lefty drove more than 1300 miles with one thing in mind – trying some real Texas ‘Q. Both had heard of the wonders of Texas beef brisket, but had never tasted the real deal, cooked the real way, and in the real place. So off they headed to Leon Springs, Texas just outside of San Antonio, to visit a good pal and try some authentic Texas-style Bar-B-Q. For the Georgia pair, Texas brisket was new experience. A...
