road dawgz

i had the chance to travel a bit and eat at lots of places last year. i'll try to remember all them and write little reviews. here goes.

the owlery(bloomington, in)
i had the fried chicken dinner and it was amazing. 10 bucks for a solid meal. the tofu was super breaded and the mashed potatoes and gravy was right on. punx know how to make good food. fancy restaurants, take notes.

pepples donut farm(oakland, ca)
i got 12 and ate them all in one day. really good flavors and so much better than anything on the east coast(although i havent been to the newly opened dun well donuts).

chicago diner
the first time i went here i had monte cristo and was disappointed, but the pb cookie dough milkshake was the best thing i've ever had. the second time around i got the country fried steak breakfast and sampled many shakes. all were top notch. i cant wait to eat here again this summer.
*i was there last for a moz show and the diner was playing nothing but the smiths.

quesadilla la reyna del sur(chicago, il)
all vegan real mexican food. something i've been dreaming about for years now. i got two tacos, but plan on returning to get other dishes. there is so much to choose from, multiple visits is a must. very cheaply priced too.

pick me up cafe(chicago, il)
i got the french toast here and it was the best french toast i've ever had. very airy and great tasting. 5 thick slices for 7 bucks.

the double r diner(twin peaks)
the coffee was damn fine and i dont even drink the stuff. other than that... just stop in the look around.
