Breakfast while traveling poses several challenges ranging from limited healthy options to time constraints. First finding healthy choices can be difficult, second is consistency and third is time. Having egg white scramble with vegetables with a side of sliced tomatoes – the dish comes out […]

French Onion Soup – is a staple of where i try the menu. According to my parents it is a classic. If one can do a good soup, the saucier and soup maker knows what they are doing. The tastes that i look for are rich flavors of beef, caramelized onions cooked to perfection, lending a sweet and savory depth to the broth. As if that is not enough a generous amount of melted cheese floating upon a toasted crouton adds a gooey blanket adding a delightful sharpness to each spoonful. A combination of savory broth, tender onions, the French Onion Soup and cheesy topping is my test … how good is the kitchen? The Broadmoor Golden Bee meets expectations and i will work my way around the menu (or perhaps stay with French Onion Soup as it was really good).
Travel eats lead us to Colorado Springs. The Golden Bee has ambience and charm of an Irish Snug with all the old world charm. The Golden Bee at the Broadmoor, Colorado Springs is a restored English Pub of the 19th century. “You can tell a […]
Favorite Breakfast place with a view. Currently a favorite breakfast eatery is the City Park Tavern and we ventured to the lunch menu. During the week of travel – the quest is for a really good Rueben sandwich. It is an adventure worth undertaking. Thick […]
Jack Quinn’s snug Irish pub in Colorado Springs evokes a sense of warmth and familiarity at the first visit. It is a haven inside a busy room away from a busy city. Warm lighting, good service, and a feeling of contentment. The decor echoes the pub’s Irish heritage, while honoring it’s Coloradan identity: the pub’s walls are decorated with Fire Fighter hats, as Colorado Springs is the hub of a festival celebrating first responders nationally. The food is also familiar. We indulged in delicious mac-n-cheese and Irish Nachos. The mac-n-cheese was hearty, well made, and reminded me of my childhood. The Nachos, a skillful twist of American and Irish cuisine, was blanketed in not only cheese, but also corned beef, crisp green onion, Keltic potatoes, and Mary Rose. Our rating on quality from food on the plate, to atmosphere and service: Jack Quinn Irish Pub earns a shining 5 out of 5 stars.
Searching for the “holy grail” in food items involves seeking the perfect combination of flavors, textures in experiencing a product. While it is ideal chocolate with chili, perfect cuppa’ coffee the quest for gastronomic satisfaction is driven by desire to find that elusive delight. Today […]
Exploring different cuisines during travel is a adventure. This Friday I am on the search for comfort and consistency. Having a familiar flavor and reliable dish when on the road. Savoring a well -done pizza brings satisfaction. Old Chicago’s Chicago 7 single serving adds consistent […]
Traveling in Omaha, one can find a variety of delights. I still look for the 3 main criteria: what’s on the plate, atmosphere in the restaurant and service. We tried the classic Steakhouse in Old Market arts district. Omaha Prime is an upscale dining experience with a premium menu. If your seeking a balance between quality and cost, Omaha Prime local flavor did not disappoint. One found the range of prime portions suiting to different preferences. The presentation of dry aged local beef rolled out was the first introduction to the menu. Tomahawk, known for its impressive size and long bone is substantial and suitable to share option, often for special occasions. On the other hand is the petite and tender cut fillet , a non share portion and if cooked perfectly offers insight to who is working the broiler. One can surmise if Petite filet is perfect one can work its way up to the tomahawk … with a guarantee it will also be cooked to perfection.
