Los Tres Amigos, Harvey, LA Report #591

We just took a road trip to Alabama. During the trip a rock hit our windshield putting a nice little bullseye crack in it. We went to get it fixed, and the place that repaired it was right across the street from this restaurant. How convenient! But I’ve been eyeing this place for some time.…

Blue Crab Grill, Laurel, MS Report #590

Our Alabama road trip has come to an end. It takes over 5 hours to drive from Birmingham, Alabama to New Orleans, Louisiana. It’s humanly impossible to go that long without eating, so of course we had to stop somewhere for lunch. This trip lunch time occurred at laurel, Mississippi, and this place wasn’t far…

Bright Star Restaurant, Bessemer, AL Report #589

I was up in Birmingham, AL., back in March. On the way back to New Orleans, by a stroke of pure luck, we ended up stopping at a place in Mississippi called Weidman’s for lunch, which ended up being the oldest restaurant in the state! It was a pretty good lunch. That got me to…

Bluff Park Ice Cream Shoppe, Birmingham, AL Report #588

I love patronizing places like this. A small, family run business with a great story. Here it is: https://bluffparkicecreamshop.com/our-story/ I love coffee flavored ice creams so sampled the Basicbean. It was unbelievably delicious! But I was in the mood for a chocolate sundae. My dining partner had a scoop of butter pecan and a scoop…

Milo’s Hamburgers, Birmingham, AL Report #587

On this road trip we noticed a Planet Fitness, so we decided to drop in for a workout. After hitting our abs, I ran 2 miles on the treadmill while my dining partner hit the 30-minute workout area. Great workout and we burned a bunch of calories! Then we walked out into the parking lot…

Sweet Home Food Bar, Tuscaloosa, AL Report #586

We took a road trip to Birmingham, Alabama. On the way, lunch time came around when we were approaching Tuscaloosa, AL., so that’s where we stopped for our first meal of the trip. This was my first time in Tuscaloosa. This place is just a couple of blocks down the street from the University of…

Up&Adam Eatz, New Orleans, LA Report #585

Last Saturday, at about 10:50 AM, we came here to eat. Thinking we beat the lunchtime crowd we were surprised to see about 15 people sitting and standing outside waiting for a table! We ended up going to El Pavo Real. Today we got here at about 10:30 AM and were lucky enough to get…

Miss Shirley’s, New Orleans, LA Report #584

I’ve been in this building before. I dined here over 5 years ago. Back then it was also a Chinese restaurant named Jung’s Golden Dragon II. I ate there once and that was enough. It was terrible. I’m not surprised it closed down. Well, the golden dragon is still on the building, but now it’s…

Rosemary & Roux, Harahan, LA Report #583

Let’s say you were once in Harahan and found yourself driving up Hickory Ave. As you passed Dock St., and was approaching Suave Rd., you noticed a Dead End sign, so you turned around. If you ever did that, you made a HUGE mistake because you missed this place! Next time keep going! I live…

Hansen’s Sno-Bliz, New Orleans, LA Report #582

Short report. I normally don’t do restaurant reports on snowball stands because I don’t consider them restaurants. But this place is a New Orleans institution that deserves mentioning. They’ve been slinging snowballs here for 84 years! If you want more info here’s their website: https://snobliz.square.site/ The main thing that makes a snowball good is the…
