Avocado goodness, BBQ, and Burgers

I recently got back from a looong drive from Denver to Nashville and back, and while I don’t have pictures, I do have words (just a brief few).
First of all, if you are ever in Illinois, Iowa, or Missouri, and you like barbecue, you should check out Bandanas BBQ. There’s at least one off [...]

Kokoro plus a bonus Twilight chocolate critique!

I continue to curse myself for my unfortunate trend of eating somewhere and neglecting to bring my camera with me. Most notable in this is my visit a few days ago to Kokoro. This is a local Denver chain of Japanese fast food. This makes me happy, as I remember several years ago sitting around [...]

Sushi Katsu and other random delicious locales

So today is my birthday. Meaning, I had a very good excuse to stuff my face. Meaning that sushi was pretty much a requirement for today. I am a sucker for being able to eat like a vacuum cleaner without having to worry about the increasing amount of the bill. Well, assuming vacuum cleaners eat, [...]

The Chick-fil-a First 100 at Fort Collins (with bonus blizzard!)

I’ve been wanting to do a Chick-fil-a grand opening for awhile now. For those not in the know, here’s the deal: Every time a new Chick-fil-a opens, the first 100 people there receive free chicken for a year. Or, more specifically, 52 coupons for a free #1 combo meal (which includes a chicken sandwich, waffle [...]

A Visit to Pizza Madness in Canon City, Co

In the not too distant past, I found myself in Canon City, Co., touring a prison museum. And let me tell you, nothing will work me up an appetite like learning about gang signs and makeshift shivs. We ended up at a restaurant called Pizza Madness. The interior of Pizza Madness was spacious, with high [...]

Charlie’s Pit Bar-B-Que in Manitou Springs, CO

The exciting thing about (or the problem with, depending on your half full/half empty choice of philosophy) moving to a new location is that you have no idea whatsoever if any of the food places near you are delicious or awful. You just don’t know, unless you get a recommendation from someone, take the time [...]

Where to find delicious Japanese food in Central Florida

A little while back Drew and I had the luck of being in Central Florida. Well, Central Florida if we’re talking latitude, here. Eastern Florida by longitudinal standards. As an aside, the only way I can remember the difference between latitude and longitude is by thinking of the slogan for some beer or another, “Change [...]

Gazebo House of Pancakes in Williamsburg, VA

So, a little while back Drew and I made a foray into the magical land of Williamsburg, VA to get breakfast with his mom. Being an internet junkie, I picked the place by doing a google search for pancake places and picking the one with the highest rating from some random website or another with [...]

Mexican and Pho!

I have been exceedingly bad about posting lately. I’ve had a case of the Mondays for a little over a week now, I suppose. Well, no more! Lots of exciting food has passed my way recently, most of which I ate while not having a camera on the near vicinity, alas. Here’s a rundown:

I [...]

Arepas sandwich with plantains, homemade versus cafe

First off, my sincerest apologies to anyone who may have attempted to access tastyniblets.com within the last two days. My hosting provider exploded in a most unfortunate way, and as a result I, or anyone else, could not access this website. As a consolation, however, I will now write about and post picture of delicious [...]
