Wendi's Weekend Trips & Whatnot

Travel. Food. Fun.

Firenza Pizza proves to be a wonderful surprise

By

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...]

The Village Point Parlor Worth a Trip to Hayesville

By

Earlier this summer, my good friend, Jan Maxwell, tagged me in a post on Facebook about a new place in Hayesville, Ohio, that served pizza and ice cream. Hayesville is a small village just a few miles off of US Route 30. It looked like a place I'd like to visit, but honestly, though, I never heard of Hayesville... and my husband, Bobby, and I travel that stretch of highway a lot. It is funny the things you miss along the way to somewhere else. So when Jan and I made plans to meet up to … [Read more...]

Flamingo Jack’s Offers Unexpected Twists

By

My friend and co-worker, Evan Bahler, had told me about a visit he made to a restaurant downtown Wooster, Ohio, called Flamingo Jack's. He said he had gotten one of the best burger he had ever had there. I'm a big burger person. So when another coworker and friend, Stephanie Feltmeyer, was selecting a place to go for lunch with the our department for her birthday, Flamingo Jack's came up again. I agreed with Stephanie, that it would be a good place to go for lunch, especially because only Evan … [Read more...]

Zaxby’s Better than Raising Cane’s?

By

I've taken the whole vacation thing a little too far. I mean really I'm on vacation, but I do blog about weekend trips and whatnot so you think I would be writing a little bit more. So as I sit here in one restaurant, I'd like to tell you about another restaurant. We can probably say this is our vacation of chicken fingers. It started with our trip to get dinner on Thursday night in Columbus at Raising Cane's chicken finger restaurant. You can read about Bobby's take on it here. Well once … [Read more...]

Finally Reached Raising Cane’s, and So Glad We Did

By

I can't tell you how many years have passed since I first learned about Raising Cane's and the day I tasted my first chicken finger from the restaurant. I do know I ate my first meal at Raising Cane's on March 29, 2018. It was a great Thursday before Good Friday. Wendi and I had left our home in Wooster, and we were slowly making our way down to Florida for a wedding. Our actual dinner plans involved eating the famed Certified Angus Beef ribeye steak at the Scioto Ribber in Portsmouth, … [Read more...]
