All Seasons Café and Restaurant

Finals are finally over!! After one particularly rough final this Thursday, Kameron and I went out to eat lunch at the All Seasons, one of the local restaurants on Main Street in Morehead.

We'd been here one time before, but since I'm trying to get back into the swing of this whole blog thing, I decided to take some pictures and write about it this time!

So! I don't know how long it has been in Morehead, and I don't know anything about its story, but I do know that it's cute, local, delicious, and affordable!

Right now it's decorated for Christmas, but even when it's not the holiday season, the restaurant is always decked out and it makes me happy just to walk in.

It has a pretty relaxed atmosphere, and as you can see by the picture, all you have to do is walk in and pick a table.

The waiters are usually pretty quick, and after you order the food only takes a few minutes to come out.

Coca Cola is a big theme here by the way... I really wish I knew why and I wish I knew more about this business, but unfortunately I don't.

Maybe one of these days I'll get around to actually asking someone who works here to give me a little more information about it, but for now this is really all I've got so far!


So, let's move onto the food. This was my mine. It's a Chicken Cordon Blue with kettle chips, and it was really tasty and filling, and cheaper than I expected it to be.

Unfortunately I may have forgotten about my lactose intolerance for a moment again, and it does have a lot of cheese on it... just as a warning!

Also, the picture below is Kam's meal. He got a chicken salad wrap and the Loaded Potato Bacon Soup (that may or may not have been the exact name, but if you go it is one of the absolute best things on the menu and Kameron has gotten it both times he's been!).

Well, I wish I had more interesting facts to list off about the All Seasons, but I don't just yet.

I'll have to go back again and ask a few questions. Everyone on the staff there always seems really friendly though, so I'm sure they wouldn't mind.

Basically, this little local restaurant is really tasty and cheap. Kameron and I both ate for under $20... pretty sure it was under 20 anyway. He paid and I forgot to check the prices because I may have been a little upset over my final. Oops!

Anyway, anyone who goes to MSU or is in the area should really stop by for lunch because it really is good.

That's all for now! Check back over winter break for more fun entries that I really hope are a little better than this one! Enjoy!

25 Winter Date Ideas for Couples in Lexington, KY

The countdown to Christmas has begun and there's nothing I love more than the holidays. With just one week left in the semester, I'm ready to really get into the swing of things and have fun this winter break. This year I've been trying to plan out some fun things to do while I'm in town to celebrate the most wonderful time of the year... So, I came up with this list of 25 winter themed things to do in Lexington during the break. No boyfriend/girlfriend? No problem. Just grab your best friend and have some holiday fun. Enjoy!

1. Ice Skating in Triangle Park From early November until mid January, Triangle Park in downtown Lexington offers an outdoor ice skating rink perfect for a wintry date. Admission and skate rental costs only $10  per person for 90 minutes of gliding fun. Hours of operation listed here: http://www.lexingtoncenter.com/events/detail/unified-trust-company-ice-rink.

2. Southern Lights Listen to some holiday tunes while driving through over four miles of light displays at the Kentucky Horse Park. Cost is $15 per car Sun-Thurs and $20 per car Fri-Sat. More info here: http://khpfoundation.org/programs/featured-events/southern-lights-holiday-festival

3. Volunteer Together Each year, the Catholic Action Center/God’s Net hosts a Christmas Store where those who would not otherwise be able to purchase gifts for their children can come “shop” for free. Volunteers are always needed for this event and for the other services offered by this organization, so why not pay it forward together and tap into the true spirit of Christmas? CAC Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/CAClexky or website: godsnet.info

4. Build a Snowman After a particularly good snow, create your own Frosty complete with a hat and a carrot nose. Totally free and very fun.

5. Go Skiing Technically, this one’s not in Lexington, but I decided to include it anyhow. If you’re up for the hour and a half drive, Perfect North Slopes in Lawrenceburg, IN is a great place for a fun winter date.  Plus, in January and February they offer College Nights, where skiing, tubing, and snowboarding is discounted with a student ID. More info here: http://perfectnorth.com/calendar.

6. Paint Mugs Visit The Mad Potter and design your own holiday-themed mugs together for future hot cocoa sipping. Website for more information: http://www.themadpotter.biz.

7. Make a Gingerbread House Grab a kit from just about any major grocery store and build a home together using nothing but sweets.

8. Run a 5k For an active couple, The Reindeer Ramble hosted by the YMCA of Lexington or one of two John’s Run/Walk Shop Holiday Fun Runs are perfect opportunities to run (or at least slowly jog) off a few of those holiday calories together.

9. Winter Hike at Raven Run Bundle up and take a snowy walk together through this nature sanctuary in the heart of Lexington.

10. Buy a Christmas Tree Or at least walk around one of the local Christmas tree farms to get into the holiday spirit. Support Lexington farmers by visiting Barker, Nieman, Christmas Memories, or other tree farms listed here: http://www.kychristmastreefarms.com

11. Decorate a Tree Whether it’s real or fake, big or small, decorate a tree together with lights, garland, and all of the usual holiday jazz.

12. Make Homemade Ornaments Even if you’re not the craftiest, something like these: http://www.katyelliott.com/blog/2011/12/cinnamon-applesauce-heart-ornaments.html simple ornaments are a fun way to spend time together while making gifts for others or for your very own tree.

13. See a movie at the Kentucky Theater With weather turning nasty and cold, winter is prime movie time. The historic Kentucky Theater is the perfect place to enjoy an evening and catch a movie. Plus, the theater’s within walking distance of many great downtown restaurants. Movie times available on their website: http://www.kentuckytheater.com/special-events/

14. Carriage Ride Although it’s a little pricey ($100 for 1 hr), I can’t imagine a more picturesque winter date idea than packing a thermos full of hot chocolate and riding around downtown in a horse drawn carriage. For information on carriage rides in Lexington visit http://www.lexingtonlivery.com.

 

15. See a Holiday Play Get a little dressed up and watch one of the many Christmas-themed plays and musicals that the Lexington Opera House offers each year. Full listing here: http://www.lexingtonoperahouse.com/events. Or, visit the theater at the UK Fine Arts Center for "The Smack-Off: A Christmas Reality Show," a funny holiday performance that's a sequel to the awesome "Smackdown for the Christmas Crown" that I saw a few years ago (which is where I took this lovely picture). Tickets available here: www.scfatickets.com.

16. Have a Snowball Fight I don’t just mean pack one little snowball and toss it at your significant other. I’m talking about a full out wintry war. Build snow forts and prep snowballs ahead of time, or surprise your significant other by pelting him/her unexpectedly.

17. Go Sledding Like many of the other date ideas, this one requires a good amount of snow. Still, getting all bundled up and going sledding together can be a lot of fun. There’s nothing wrong with embracing your inner child, especially not around the holidays.

18. Christmas Parade Every December, Lexington offers a Christmas Parade downtown on Main Street. Why not wear your favorite holiday sweater and join in the festivities by watching it with your favorite person?

19. Ugly Christmas Sweater Party Search Goodwill, rob your grandma’s closet, or create your own tacky Christmas sweaters, then get together with others to enjoy the ridiculousness.

20. Christmas Cookies Whether it’s grandma’s secret recipe or straight from a box, bake up some sugar cookies or gingerbread men and spend a little time decorating them to holiday perfection with red and green icing and sprinkles.

21. Christmas Shopping Love it or hate it, during the holidays at least one shopping trip is practically inescapable. So, rather than trudge through the mall alone, bring your significant other along and get more accomplished while hopefully having a little more fun with it!

22. Reindeer Games Also known as Game Night. Pull out the good ol’ board and card games and take part in some friendly competition. My personal favorites are Apples to Apples and UNO.

23. Attend a Hockey Game The UK hockey team has many games during the holiday season. Games start around midnight at the Lexington Ice Center, and I’ve heard they’re a blast.

24. Christmas Movie Marathon Elf, A Christmas Story, The Grinch, Christmas Vacation, It’s A Wonderful Life, A Charlie Brown Christmas, Holiday Inn, White Christmas (my personal favorite!) … the possibilities are endless. Just pop some popcorn, start a fire, and grab some fuzzy socks and you’re all set!

25. Christmas Dinner Depending on the nature of your relationship, you may or may not have an actual Christmas dinner with your significant other, but this idea is of the faux-Christmas dinner variety. If you happen to love cooking like I do, pull out all the stops and fix a delicious holiday meal regardless of the day. 

I hope you found this list helpful/interesting! If you like it please share it! (Buttons below)

Dad's Favorites

I discovered my new favorite sandwich place yesterday, and it is so so SO good. And it just so happens to be Kentucky Proud as well. 

Called "Dad's Favorites," this small business started when a man (who just so happens to be a dad) decided he wanted to share his delicious cheese spreads with the world... and turned it into a successful business, selling the cheese wholesale and opening his own (amazing) deli that I visited when I came home to Lexington this weekend.

Dad's Favorites is located in the Garden Springs shopping center, wedged between a coin laundry, a shoe repair place, and a barber shop. Although I had the address typed into maps on my phone, it took me a good ten minutes to actually find the place because I wasn't expecting to find a restaurant in this little old strip mall type building. 

Luckily I eventually spotted this sign and headed inside. When you walk in, the picture on the right is what you see. With how hard it was for me to find, I was surprised by how many people were enjoying their own lunches here, especially since I went later than the normal lunch rush. 

Granted, after trying it for myself, I can understand why. I love club sandwiches and I love spicy food, so when I got up to the counter I ordered a Pepper Jack Club, and I was not disappointed. I made it a Dad's Combo with a bag of chips and a refreshing cup of Ale8, and I ate the whole thing not 5 minutes after getting it. 

Also, all of that food together was only about $8, and I was totally stuffed after that. PLUS the Dad himself offers free cheese samples near the counter, and he'll tell you all about them as you stuff your face.

While I was ordering, I overheard how the brand's beer cheese came into being... Basically, he said that he never planned on making a beer cheese because everybody and his brother around Kentucky makes their own beer cheese and thinks it's the best, but then the boys at Country Boy Brewing (a local Kentucky microbrewery) and him got to talking and they came up with a beer cheese recipe using locally brewed beer.

I didn't have time to try it or any of the other spreads (except the Pepper Jack one from my sandwich!) since my 16 year old puppy was waiting for me in the car. So, I can't actually say anything specific about how good I'm assuming the "Stampin' Ground Cheddar Spread" (beer cheese) is... But the fact that this local business supports other Kentucky Proud businesses makes it that much cooler, and it was already awesome just because of how tasty my sandwich was!

Also, seeing the huge case of cheese spreads for sale, I decided I had to grab a tub to bring home to my parents. They're available at one for $6 or two for $10, and as you can see Katie (my dog) wanted a bite as soon as I got in the car... and my dad's already eaten over half of the one that I brought back. 

If that's not a good recommendation then I don't know what one is... anyway, if you're in the area, GO to Dad's Favorites. Short on time? They offer a carry out/delivery/ready when you arrive option. Just call or fax your order to (859) 309-1930. More information including menu on their website. (Link HERE)

Now you really don't have an excuse, so try this local Kentucky business because I'm serious when I say I just found my new favorite sandwich. 

Kentucky Canvas

It's officially my first craft post!!

This is pretty exciting for me because I'm really proud of this canvas that I did over the weekend.

Thursday was my best friend since birth's 20th birthday, and Friday night she had friends and family over for a dinner to celebrate.

I drove back to Lexington as soon as class was over on Friday so I could figure out something to give her that night (and eat lunch with my mom at Panera of course!), but I was stumped. We've exchanged a decent number of gifts over the years and I didn't want to give her just another random pair of earrings or a headband.

Then as I was sitting at home after lunch, I got in the mood to do some crafting, and I realized I could make her something cute and simple to hang up in her room, and what's better than a Kentucky canvas?

I checked my craft supplies, mixed up a few colors (a mixture of Martha Stewart, and Liquitex acrylic paints) to get the perfect blues for what I had in mind, and got started.

First I found an outline of the state online, zoomed in to make it the proper size, and traced it off of my computer screen using a piece of notebook paper and a pencil. I then went over the pencil with a dark marker, taped the outline to the back of the canvas, held it up to the window to let light through, and retraced the outline onto the canvas using a pencil.

Next, using a large paint brush I free handed the outer chevrons using a ruler to line up the peaks so that they would look similar. There are lots of tricks on Pinterest of how to make perfect chevrons on a canvas, so if you're really OCD about how your lines look and thinking about making a similar canvas, I recommend checking there first.

Anyway, I didn't mind the little bit of variation in my chevrons although it did take awhile to get them just right. But, after I finally got the outer chevrons just right it was time to paint the Kentucky outline. I used a smaller brush and just did my best to follow the trace I'd made in pencil.

After my first coat of dark blue on the outline, I made the middle chevron by lining up the peaks and having it just touch the edges. I then did another coat of dark blue just to clean up my lines.

Finally I looked up a map of Kentucky and estimated about where Lexington would be in my drawing, and used a little bright red paint to put a heart over the city.

I loved the way it turned out, but as I was looking at it after I finished, I decided it would look even better with a little glitter (because what doesn't look better with a little glitter!?).

So, using some Krylon glitter spray I put a thin layer of glitter over the entire canvas. The fully finished (glittered!) product is below, but it's sort of hard to tell how sparkly it is in the picture.

Anyway, it took a little while for the glitter to dry so I couldn't wrap the gift, but I think my friend still liked it! And it got me excited for all the Christmas crafts I hope to make this winter!

Smokey Valley Truck Stop and Carter Caves State Park

Happy Monday! We've officially had a bit of snow here, and I'm extremely excited for Christmas even though it's still a week and a half until Thanksgiving.

Anyway, last Monday Kam and I went on another adventure, this time to Olive Hill, KY. We'd been planning on eating at the Smokey Valley Truck Stop for awhile, and I was super excited when he suggested we finally go.

I didn't want to just drive all that way (it's about 30 min from Morehead's campus) just for a burger though, so I convinced Kameron to drive just ten minutes further and take me to Carter Caves State Park to do a little hiking.

Unfortunately the convincing took a little while, so when we finally got there it wasn't too long before dark, but luckily Carter Caves has a wide variety of trails ranging from 0.1 to 9 miles so we still got to get a little hiking in. We chose the 0.5 mile natural bridge loop trail and it took practically no time at all.

This state park also offers cave tours as there are multiple caves on the property. When I was growing up Carter Caves was my favorite state park in Kentucky, so I'm pretty sure I've been through at least most of them, but it's been a really long time.



I'm hoping one of these days we'll have time to go back and go through one of them because from what I remember they're pretty cool.

Anyway, after we finished our little hike at Carter Caves, we headed straight to Smokey Valley Truck Stop to get dinner just before sunset.

The Truck Stop is Olive Hill's claim to fame as Guy Fieri and the show Diners, Dives, and Drive-In's visited here a few years ago, and they didn't disappoint.

Kam was patient enough to wait for me to take these two pictures before diving in... I don't think our burgers sat on our plates for more than a minute before they were gone.

Also, I've heard that the coconut cream pie is their signature thing, but neither of us are big fans of coconut so he tried the peanut butter pie and I had a slice of pecan.

Mine was good but Kam said his was the best, so I recommend getting a slice of peanut butter pie from the Truck Stop if you're in the area.

Anyway, this was one of my favorite adventure dates Kameron and I have gone on, and I finally forced him to take another picture with me.

Freezer Fresh Dairy

Well, our soccer team did not win the OVC Tournament this year. Unfortunately we lost in the semifinals to the team that went on to win it. 

The game was super dramatic, and pretty much all of us feel as if we were robbed in the last few minutes due to a very influential call that lead to a pk being scored. But, the past is in the past and there's nothing we can do about it now. 

SO, since it's Monday and I'm planning on going on another adventure later today, I figured I should probably post a little something about the last adventure Kameron and I went on. 

A couple of weeks ago we were in the car with a few free hours before practice. We thought about going to Lockegee and were headed that way when somehow as we randomly decided to go on a spur of the moment adventure to West Liberty, KY. 

A few years ago, this area got hit by a really bad tornado that destroyed most of the main part of town, and even though Kam and I both knew this, it was still surprising to see how much construction is currently going on. 

Anyway, one local business that was rebuilt after the storm is the Freezer Fresh Dairy, a little order at the window/eat in your car burger and ice cream joint that's been around since 1958. 

I took these pictures while we waited on our food... Two Double Deckers, fries, a chocolate milkshake, and a strawberry milkshake. 

It didn't take long at all, and I thoroughly enjoyed our food. It may not have been the healthiest pre-practice meal, but it was good! The double decker has two burger patties with a bun separating them and coleslaw on the top and bottom. 

When I ordered one I didn't realize it had coleslaw on it, and I'm usually not much of a coleslaw eater, but with a little ketchup and an open mind it was actually really tasty. 

So, if you happen to be in the West Liberty area and need to make a quick pit stop for food or a milkshake, check out the Freezer Fresh Dairy. 

Also, check back soon for another post about exploring Kentucky! I've got quite a few planned now that season's over!

Autumn Rain in Morehead

So, it's November now and fall is in full swing here in Kentucky... so I figured I might as well upload a short post on my lovely college town at this time of year.

I actually took these pictures in the middle of October on a particularly colorful but rainy day. I finished my classes early and felt like taking some pictures before doing anything else. So, I went up to Eagle Lake, the small body of water on campus that belongs to the university and did my thing.

The lake itself is pretty, and I love reading or drinking some coffee on one of the benches near it, but the best part of Eagle Lake is the trails that lead around it. 

This third picture is from just past the trailhead. At this time of year, it's absolutely gorgeous. I haven't had the chance to walk it this semester just yet, but I'm hoping one of these days I'll be able to carve out about 45 minutes to walk the full loop. 

Anyway, right now our soccer team is at Southeast Missouri University for the OVC Tournament. We beat Murray State 5-1 last night and are currently waiting to play in the semifinals against SIUE tonight at 4:00pm. If we win we have a chance to become back to back OVC Champions, so here's hoping tonight goes well!

New blog posts coming again soon I promise!

The Bakery on Main

It has been quite a while since I've posted, but soccer season got a little crazy and I had zero time to make blog posts about food when I barely had enough time to eat it. 

So, here goes a much delayed blog post about one of my new favorite places to eat in Morehead, KY. 

The Bakery on Main is not a new business in Morehead, but it was new to me last month when I tried it for the first time and discovered that they have the most delicious breakfast sweets I have ever tasted. 

As you might guess by the name, this family owned bakery is located on Main Street in the middle of Morehead. They're open for both breakfast and lunch, although so far I've only tried their breakfast food. The cinnamon rolls and fresh donuts are my favorites and they're pretty cheap, too at $3.00 for a giant cinnamon roll and $0.75 per donut.

The box above was from one morning when I decided to bring breakfast to Kameron in the class we have together. A cinnamon roll alone is plenty to fill someone up, but the donuts are so good that I couldn't resist.

Anyway, I love this place and I fully recommend it to anyone looking for a quick, yummy, locally made breakfast to go.

Apple Pie

It's finally officially fall now, and I'm super excited about it. The weather is perfect, the leaves will be turning soon, and there are so many great fall desserts to make (and eat!).

My first fall-inspired project was this old fashioned lattice apple pie. After picking up a few pounds of locally grown apples at Boyd's last weekend, I was ready to make my very first made-from-scratch pie.

First things first, I whipped up some dough for the pie crust using my food processor and this recipe. After a slight mishap (6 cups of water is definitely not the same thing as 6 tablespoons!), the dough turned out perfect, and I put it in the fridge to chill for a little while.

Before making this pie, I'd always heard that the hardest part was making the crust, but making it in a food processor using the recipe above makes it super simple. The hardest part for me was peeling and slicing all of the apples up. 

The recipe called for 3 lbs of sliced apples, which amounts to about 8 cups. This is the most labor-intensive and time consuming part of making a pie.

After probably an hour and a half of peeling and cutting, and a couple of slightly sliced fingers, I finally had all of the apples I needed (and a few embarrassing bandages).

After putting all of the apple slices in a large bowl, I mixed up the ingredients for the filling and coated the apples with it. Again I used the recipe above, but I wasn't as happy with the results of the filling as I was the crust for this recipe.

I think next time I make a pie I'm going to try a different recipe for the filling and I'm going to use some kind of green apple instead of gala because although this pie was delicious, it was missing the tartness that I love in an apple pie.

But back to the baking! The last few steps were to roll out the crust, fill the pie, and make the lattice pattern on top. Once again, a slight edit I would like to make for the next time I bake a pie is to bake the bottom pie crust for a few minutes before filling it.

Overall I'd say this pie turned out pretty well for a first try, but the apples I used were so juicy that the bottom crust wasn't quite as crispy as I wanted it to be, plus as I mentioned before I think I should've used green apples rather than red. 

Anyway, that's my Kentucky Proud Pie! So if you're in the mood to try something new, pick up some fresh and locally grown fruit of your own and try your hand at making a pie from scratch... even if things don't go quite perfectly, I can almost guarantee it'll be delicious!

Boyd Orchards

This past weekend, I went home for a day. We had games on Friday night and Sunday afternoon, but besides going to my boyfriend's football game at EKU, my Saturday was totally free after morning practice.

So, as soon as practice was over, I jumped in my car and headed to Lexington to pick up my best friend since birth so we could go to Boyd Orchards together. I try to make it out to Boyd's at least once every fall because they have the best apple cider and apple cider donuts ever, and my sweet tooth just can't resist. 

Boyd's is about 30 minutes outside of Lexington just past the castle in Versailles, (If you don't know what I mean by the castle, click here. It's another odd Kentucky thing) and it's locally owned and run by the Boyd family. They have fruits and veggies on sale for nearly every season, a casual café with normal lunch food as well as very tasty apple desserts (my favorite), a fully stocked gift shop, and tons of family fun activities. 

As soon as my friend and I walked in on Saturday though, my eyes went straight to the apples. It's become a bit of a fall tradition the past few years for me to pick out some locally grown fruit from either The Farmer's Market (in Lexington) or Boyd's and bake something with it, and this weekend the apples were looking perfect.

In the past I've made apple crisp, iced apple cookies, and apple spice cake with glaze, but never a pie, although I've been wanting to make one from scratch for probably two years now. So, I picked out a few pounds of gala apples and decided it was time to try it.

After getting my apples and paying for those and a dozen apple cider donuts (YUM), it was finally time to eat some lunch from the Apple Café.

Hannah (my friend) got a pulled pork BBQ sandwich with chips, I got a burger, and we both got hot apple cider. The weather turned so early this year, it was actually a little chilly when we went and the cider was even better than usual.

Also, if you've got an apple cider donut and hot apple cider at the same time, I totally recommend dipping the donut into the cider because it's delicious.

Anyway, enough about my eating habits and a little more about Boyd Orchards... Right now they're open Tuesday-Friday 9:30 am-5 pm, Saturday from 9:30 am-7 pm, and Sunday from 12-7 pm.


Since it's fall, they have all sorts of pumpkins, squash, and other gourds on sale as well as apples. I'm actually considering making a pumpkin pie from scratch as well since the apple pie turned out tasty (pie post totally coming later!), but even if you're not a baker there's plenty of other great reasons to visit Boyd Orchards this fall.

Here's just a few:
-Pick your own apples off the tree (because they're so much tastier that way)
-Take a hayride through the orchard
-Explore the corn maze
-Slide down the 90 foot slide
-Buy apple cider
-Drink an apple cider slushie from the Apple Café
-Pick up a dozen apple cider donuts
-Make a Jack-O-Lantern from a pumpkin picked straight off the vine

Basically, just GO! (And I hope you love it as much as I do).

Just a little extra information: To get in Boyd Orchards is totally free, and they have their own website for even more info. Link: boydorchards.com

Dave and Judy's Diner

Today's post is extra special because it's about a local restaurant that I never expected to actually get to eat at. 

I'm not entirely sure about its history, but I do know that Dave & Judy's Diner was open for a number of years, then at some point in 2013 they closed permanently. Although it was already closed by the time I met him, Kameron mentioned multiple times how much he liked this place, and especially their cheap but filling breakfast. So, when I found out about a week and a half ago that they re-opened just for the month of September, I was determined to go before they close again. 

Every September, bluegrass artists gather in Morehead for the Poppy Mountain Music Festival. It's the longest running traditional bluegrass festival in the country, and apparently it's a pretty big deal. This is the 22nd year of the festival according to the official facebook page, and it's also the reason that Dave and Judy's is open this month.

I'm hoping to make it to the Poppy Mountain Music Festival on one of the days this year, but between practice and games  that may be a little tough. It's running September 16-20, and sounds like a lot of fun, so we'll see!

Back to Dave and Judy's Diner though.

Kam and I made it for breakfast right after church this past Sunday. There weren't a whole lot of people there, but it was 11 o'clock in the morning after all.


The inside of the diner is adorable. Between the wall decorations and the traditional black and white checkered diner floor, I was sold. I wish I had a few more pictures, but I felt a little odd and touristy with all the pictures I was taking to begin with.



Besides the atmosphere of Dave and Judy's, my favorite non-food related part about the overall experience was the fact that our waitress brought us our drinks in mason jars. Sure, that might seem like a silly detail to get excited about, but there's something awesomely southern about drinking from a mason jar... especially if you're like Kameron and order sweet tea.

But enough about all that. Let's get to the food. As promised, Dave and Judy's is super affordable but delicious. I ordered pancakes with bacon, and Kam ordered biscuits and gravy with eggs and sausage on the side, and all of that food together cost around $16. Apparently this is a little bit more than their prices were in the past, but I considered it totally worth it. 

Yumm. There's seriously nothing like a good, big ol' Sunday breakfast to make your day great. I think my favorite was the bacon, but I'm a fan of most bacon, and everything else was great too. 

Also, I should probably mention that breakfast actually isn't what Dave and Judy's is most famous for. They have lunch and dinner also, and I've heard they have fantastic barbeque... I'm hoping to make it back for dinner before the end of the month as well, but I don't know if we'll have a chance. 

Regardless, this food was amazing, and if you're in the area from now until the end of the month stop by and get some Dave and Judy's, or check their facebook page and maybe they'll be open up again sometime soon.
