Hard Hat Restaurant: A Great Place for Breakfast After a Hard Week

By

I have had some hard weeks before, but this past week (April 9-14) was an especially difficult. It started with dog sitting for my sister, Randi, in Lodi. I had been there since Thursday, April 6, but on Sunday, April 9, her dog, Parker, became quite ill. This meant spending most of the day in the Metropolitan Emergency Hospital in Akron. Thankfully, Parker is doing much better now. Next came a week full of deadlines and pressures, which is mostly unusual for my job. I felt I had already … [Read more...]

Food at Two Fat Guys BBQ in Massillon is Smokin’

By

I went to Two Fat Guys BBQ in Massillon for the magic, and I stayed for the food. Literally.

Fast Eddie’s in Bellville, Worth a Return Trip

Maybe because they have so many options on their menus or maybe just because the atmosphere is fun, but it is mostly because the food was just that good. One place we had the chance to visit again was … [Read more...]

Wedgewing Family Restaurant: A Great Way to Start Your Day 

By

When my husband, Bobby, and I took our trip to Mohican Lodge and Conference Center for our anniversary, we had many hard decisions to make. Do we stay in the lodge the whole time or do we get out and view the sites. Do we enjoy hanging out at the fire place or do we enjoy the pool. Do we eat all of our meals at the lodge or do we venture out into the neighboring towns. To the last question we decided to venture out, at least for breakfast. Thanks to the help of Bobby's phone (a Google … [Read more...]

Wooster’s New Burger Joint is, Well, Smokin’

By

If there is one thing that the Gate House Boyz (Twitter: @GateHouseBoyz), aka Bobby Warren and Dan Starcher, take seriously, it's lunch. The topic of lunch usually comes up somewhere around 10 a.m., if not earlier. Luckily, there are a lot of places in Wooster to eat lunch, recently we finally made it to Smoke: The Burger Joint. The restaurant boasts a truly American menu with traditional fare like burgers, fries and hot dogs. Everything is smoked to perfection, but menu items are … [Read more...]
