Foodventure

About every two weeks, my daughter and I venture to a new restaurant. This page is devoted to these

We finally had a slow Friday night where we could get a foodventure worked into our schedule. We tried this very quaint little place in downtown Cullman that was packed even after 7 pm. Kinsey got the chili cheese dog, I got the Royale burger, and we shared the nacho fries. Price to portion ratio was pretty good. Food was delicious, especially the chili cheese dog, which was made with smoke sausage. The service was hard to judge due to how busy everyone was in trying to help each other get food and drinks out. We will probably have to make another trip or more, so we can try other menu items that looked interesting.

This is actually a multi-night foodventure, because we were too tired to post our experiences the first night. The food was delicious, heavily portioned, and reasonably priced. The service was quite friendly and very attentive. The plate with the fried eggs was the Chilaqules. The quesadillas were the Quesdilla Michoacana. Then there were nachos supreme and a fajita nachos that I can’t remember the exact name.

Our excursion in Corfu, Greece made a stop at an interesting little coffee shop where we were able to try authentic Greek baklava and orange cake. Both were quite delicious, and the staff were super friendly. We also got to try some gelato at another location. However, the trip up to it was very nerve racking where we were riding a chartered bus on roads and in areas that I’d be uncomfortable driving my Explorer.

Excursion to Napoli involved traditional Italian espresso and famous folded pizza. The gentleman pictured with us once held the Guinness world record for most pizzas produced (10,081) in a day. We had Sfogliatelle Napoletane and Baba with our espresso. The Sfogliatelle Napoletane was delicious, but the Baba tasted like soap.

You can’t have a birthday without a foodventure, and this was Kinsey’s birthday foodventure choice! First of all, the service was outstanding, from the cashier enthusiastically explaining the menu and asking us questions to better give recommendations to the rest of the staff being attentive and polite. They even had management consistently touching tables. Now for the food: my leg and thigh order was tender and juicy, and the greens needed very little doctoring if any. Kinsey’s chicken tenders must’ve gone through GNC and bought some supplements on the way to the fryer, because they were huge. Prices were about as expected, especially considering the portion. Fair warning: there is a significant jump from medium to hot on the heat level. All-in-all, and excellent foodventure!!

South Huntsville has a new BBQ joint, and it’s a pretty good one, especially being part of a chain. We did our customary new BBQ place routine and shared the sampler platter. All of the meat was tender and juicy and had a good smoke flavor to it. They have a good variety of sauces from sweet to heat to mustard based to vinegar based, and all were tasty in their own way. Our sides were potato salad and corn pudding. The potato salad was fairly basic but good. The corn pudding tasted like what would happen if Mexican cornbread and bread pudding had a baby together. They also brought us out a sampling of peach cobbler, which was delicious. The pricing was reasonable, especially considering portion sizes, and the service was quite friendly. City BBQ might be just what South Huntsville needs in a BBQ restaurant.

Friday foodventure has us at yet another Mexican restaurant. This one is more of the style of Taco Mama’s or Little Rosie’s. Kinsey did the build your own burrito with chorizo, rice, and some other toppings. The chorizo was very greasy, and the burrito itself was rather small. I got the Antonio as soft tacos thinking the pineapple slaw as a topping would provide some bold flavor. The slaw was essentially grocery store slaw with canned pineapple sprinkled over it. They had a small salsa bar consisting of three types of salsa, with all three being very mild and bland. If I were to describe the sweet tea in terms of a marriage relationship, the sugar was sleeping on the couch today. Our meals and drinks were right around $35 after taxes and before tips. Our recommendation: try one of the many other Mexican restaurants within a mile of this place, so you can get larger portions and better flavors at a lower cost.

We finally got around to trying this place. Kinsey got a Belgian waffle and a gravy biscuit. I got the half Monterey club sandwich and cup of chicken with rice soup. The food wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t great either. The drinks do not have prices listed, and there’s a reason. Kinsey’s sweet tea was $4 and was about as sweet as a divorce attorney. The service was friendly, but the prices were not appropriate for the quality and portion of the food. We’re both still hungry and might have to find food somewhere else (second foodventure maybe?)

Our Friday foodventure brings us to a place in Huntsville that been here for a little bit, but we’re just now getting around to trying them. Kinsey got the tenders with fries with buffalo sauce,and I got the High Society burger with tots. First off, the tots and fries tasted a little like the oil needed changing, but they were in dinner rush. The tenders were enormous and very juicy. I can’t help but wonder how many birds lost their lives just for Kinsey’s meal. The burger had a good bold flavor with the brie and pepper jelly making an excellent team. The service was really friendly and good, especially considering how busy they were and the fact that I suggested the girl being trained be our lead server. Definitely worth giving them a shot.

Kinsey needed to stop at Hobby Lobby on the way home from Vanderbilt, and there just happened to be a Mexican Restaurant next door. She got the Quesadilla Garcia, and I got the Flautas de Pollo. Both dishes were good, but the best part was the salsa verde on the flautas. Prices were a little higher than normal but not too much, and the service was friendly. They were busy but still tended to us effectively.
