Click here to see this review on Yelp. My wife and I had our wedding cakes done by the Cake Guys. The cakes were incredible. My wife found the cake guys very easy to work with, and was equally surprised to learn that Chad (the baker she was working with) would be featured on a […]

Review – Herrera’s Cafe – Dallas, Texas
Click to view this review on Yelp. Unbelievable. How did I not find Herrera’s sooner? Potentially it’s location, but… damn. Herrera’s is easily one of the better Tex-Mex joints in DFW. It’s really popular (which adds to my shock in how long it took me to find it.) One of my best friends and I […]
Review – (Johnny) Carino’s – Lewisville, Texas
Click here to see this review on Yelp. Overall, for the money, I’d say there’s certainly a lot better casual Italian joints to consider before Carino’s. Carino’s is OK, and I’d usually give it 3 stars, but this location appears to be pretty severely mismanaged. Overall, the pasta is underwhelming, though I’ve had worse. […]
Review – The State Fair of Texas – Dallas, Texas
Link to Yelp Review. The Texas State Fair is consistently ranked in the top 5 state fairs in the country. (The other top ones generally include Minnesota, New York, and Iowa.) It’s not hard to see why. There’s multiple good reasons.: 1 – Rides. There’s many notable ones on the midway here, including three roller […]
Review – Quaker Steak and Lube – Carrollton, Texas
Link to Yelp I can’t believe that Quaker Steak gets 2 and a half stars on Yelp as of this writing. I disagree. I’d probably give it 3 and a half stars, but I’m going to round up to four. Buffalo Wild Wings in Lewisville is the closest direct competitor (I guess Frankie’s […]
Review – Mandalay Bay – Las Vegas, Nevada
Link to Yelp I’d probably give Mandalay Bay 3 and a half stars. I’m going to review the hotel and resort all as one here. I stayed here for my bachelor party. Let’s break things down: Rooms: The rooms are pretty nice by Vegas strip standards. (Note that Vegas strip standards are pretty darn high.) Food: […]
Disneyland’s Blue Bayou – Chicken Gumbo
I know, I know… the Blue Bayou gets knocked a bunch when talking about dining at Disney. Some of the criticism is warranted… However, the Chicken Gumbo is both excellent and memorable. I’m typing this 7 months after I had this (9/17… right before I go back to Disney World and right after the 1st […]
Review: Kenny’s Wood Fired Grill
Kenny’s Wood Fired Grill – 5 Stars Ahhh, Kenny’s. One of the best places to eat in Dallas, hands down. I could probably write all day about Kenny’s restaurants. This is the first restaurant that I was exposed to from Kenny. The “Kenny’s” restaurants (collectively) are essentially my second (possibly first) favorite place to eat […]
Review: Magic Time Machine
Magic Time Machine (Dallas location) – 2 Stars The Magic Time Machine is the place that I always bugged my parents to go to (when we lived in San Antonio–there’s a location down there as well). They never brought me, but I was always intrigued by the concept that the waiters dress up and act […]
Quesadillas at Imperial Palace – Cheese Enchiladas
Yelpers gave this restaurant scathing reviews. Alicia and I really wanted Mexican food quite badly, and we didn’t want to pay out of the @$$ for it. So we opted for going to “Quesadilla’s” at the Imperial Palace. (It may be Quesadilla. But I’m going to leave it as Quesadilla’s.) Armed with the negative reviews […]
