Wendi's Weekend Trips & Whatnot

Travel. Food. Fun.

The Original Steaks & Hoagies Opens in Fairlawn on National Cheesesteak Day

By

A year or so ago, Bobby and I decided to take a day trip that landed us in Twinsburg, Ohio so that we could try a Philly Cheesesteak sandwich. Bobby had done a search for the best Philly Cheesesteak in Ohio and The Original Steaks & Hoagies was by far the most recommended. (You can read about the adventure here.) One of the owners saw Bobby's post and put it on the company's website. Bobby saw that and they became Facebook friends. Because of that, one of the owners, Jeff Wiseman, … [Read more...]

Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen Brings Light to a Dreary Winter Day

By

It has been a long dreary winter, at least it has seemed that way for me. Because of this, my husband, Bobby, and I have not gotten out much. In turn, that has meant that Wendi's Weekend Trips and Whatnot has been a little light on new content. So, when we decided to get out last Saturday, March 17, and go somewhere, I was pretty excited. Our big "outing" was going to be to Mansfield to shop at GFS (Gordon Food Supply), but still we were getting out. I was especially excited that we were going … [Read more...]

Celebrating a Friend’s Birthday with a Bit of Pampering

By

I began this blog so that I could write about the things that my husband, Bobby, and I to do together. Yet there sometimes when Bobby doesn't want to do what I'd like to do. Thankfully I have friends who I can do these things with. Case in point, on Wednesday February 28th, 2018, my friend, Jessica, and I went for pedicures. This is something Bobby would never agree to do! Jessica and I have been planning on this for about a month. It is the beginning of her birthday week, which today is … [Read more...]

Main Street Wooster R&R Week Kicks Off, We Chose Smoke

By

While this blog has already had a post about Smoke the Burger Joint, it wasn't written by me. So this it is my turn. (If you want to read the other post done, by guest blogger, Dan Starcher, click here.) My husband, Bobby, and I decided to go on a date on Monday. He had suggested a trip to Canton, but I really didn't want to drive out of town. It was a work night after all! So I convinced him that staying close to home was better. That is when he remembered that it is R & R Week in Downtown … [Read more...]

Mrs. Yoder’s: Worth the Drive and Wait

By

Amish Country is one of the favorite destinations that my husband, Bobby, and I always enjoy visiting. If we are free on a Saturday, we might spontaneously decide we want to go explore Holmes County and the shops that are there. When we first moved into the area, we made a trip to Holmes County and ended up in Mount Hope. That was our first time there, and I suggested that we go to Mrs. Yoder's for lunch. Bobby had said it looked "too touristy." So we didn't stop. When Bobby went back to … [Read more...]
