Just did a big review on Burke's BBQ on 466a - Delicious Southern Cooking and Ribs to die for.. the smoked chicken looked great too. Far superior to anything Oakwood or Sonny's can produce... and a lovely, local family...

Default McDonald's??

I know this sounds silly, but when hubby and I were running some errands today we got hungry. Didn't want to waste a lot of time so we decided to stop at McDonald's. We are not fast food people and haven't had McDonalds in years. Hubby had a fish filet and I wanted something light so I tried their new wraps. I had a grilled chicken wrap with a bit of ranch dressing. It had grilled chicken, cucumbers, lettuce, tomato and a bit of cheese. It was also huge! I was expecting a small wrap but when this one came out I thought I would never finish it. Guess what? I did! It was worth the 3.79 price for this wrap. Now, I wouldn't make this a weekly choice, but in a pinch I would order the same wrap again. I posted this because I was surprised at how good it was and was healthier than a Burger.

Sunday brunch at Harbor Hills Country Club. Not the very fanciest or high-priced of brunches, but good food and a beautiful view overlooking Lake Griffin. The piano player plays soft music in the background and the mimosas/champagne are $4, including refills. I had the made-to-order crepes flambé with fresh peaches. Yum!

I was traveling this week and was in Colorado Springs. Went up the Ute pass to a very small town, Green Mountain Falls and ate at the Black Bear Restaurant. I will go back. You order by the number of courses you want only. 5, 7, 9, or 12. I did the 7. No idea what the chef will serve. This little log cabin place in the middle of no where has won 4 and 5 stars every year for 9 years.

I had a 1. watermelon and lime soup with agave cream, 2. a walnut and goat cheese salad with spinach and a poached egg cooked 8 hours at 140 degrees, 3. creamed grits with alligator bratwurst, 4. Cajan style shrimp and dirty rice, 5. pasta with fresh vegetables and a 5 cheese sauce 6. a very small strip steak over garlic potatoes with a lamb meatloaf, 7. passion fruit panna cotta with fresh berries and a chocolate tart with hazel nut sauce.

Everything was outstanding and cooked perfectly. For $5 a course you can add a wine pairing. If your ever in this area, go out of your way to find this treasure of a dining experience.

Chi's grill is between Belk and Winn-Dixie in La Grand shopping center on 441.

Pretty good cheese steak and huge banana splits also.

Thanks for the response to the thread; I am enjoying it and finding some new places.

Ate again yesterday at my favorite breakfast place, Lil Bits Cafe. Excellent 'home cookin', fair price, and very friendly staff. 11962 County Road 101 - in the strip mall across 101 from Crispers.
