There is no end to the different burger places to try. It's not exactly the mission of Wendi's Weekend Trips and Whatnot to try them all, but then again having the chance to try a new is always a winning opportunity for us. So when I made a trip with my husband, Bobby and my parents, Bud and Dolores to North Olmsted and found out there was a Brown Bag Burgers in town, I was interested. After reading a few reviews saying they were better than Five Guys ... well let's just say I had to see for … [Read more...]
Gouda Bar & Grill was Very Goud(a), but now it’s Closed
Update: Gouda Bar & Grill might have been very good, but as of Feb. 16, 2019, it is also very closed. Word spread on Facebook about the closing, and today a friend of Bobby's posted on Facebook a picture of the restaurant with the front windows papered over. A lot of people searching for Gouda landed on this blog post because the place didn't have a website, just a Facebook page. It was the second-most popular page on this website, behind Six Things You Need to do in Minerva. Here is the … [Read more...]
Mr. Zub’s Deli and Bar More Impressive than Carnegie Deli
I'm not a big deli person. I like sandwiches just fine, but I'm talking roast beef or turkey or ham. I don't need pastrami or corn beef or anything exotic.

I guess I'm still a little leery of delis after my time at Carnegie Deli in New York City. Let's just say I was not very impressed. … [Read more...]
Firenza Pizza proves to be a wonderful surprise
Anyone who has read this blog for any length of time should know by now I love pizza, and the pizzas Wendi and I had at Firenza Pizza in Sandusky proved to be a wonderful surprise. We didn't want pizza for dinner (well, actually Wendi didn't; I can eat it any time), and we had no idea we would be eating dinner in Sandusky. Wendi and I were on our way to Marblehead, Ohio, to get away for a little bit. Normally, we take a vacation in the summer, but we had visited North Carolina, Georgia … [Read more...]
Bubba’s 33 gives this Boston boy a taste of home
When a friend of ours posted on Facebook he was beginning a new journey with Bubba's 33: Pizza-Burgers-Beer restaurant, I checked it out and immediately wanted to try it. The closest one to us is in Canton, and we decided to make a day of it Sunday by catching a movie and a late lunch. Wendi and I do not drink, so we were not enticed by the beer, but I am a fan of pizza, having grown up in an Italian family in an Italian neighborhood just outside Boston, and Wendi loves burgers. We were … [Read more...]
