This little gem just opened in the location of an old Starbucks at the southeast corner of Marsh Lane and Frankford. El Tizoncito is a pleasant surprise. First off, I had this place pegged as more of a fast food restaurant. It isn’t. The small restaurant is clean and well-acquainted. The majority of the diners…

Penzeys Spices – Dallas, TX
Penzeys Spices will WOW you! The smell of all the spices when you enter the store is inviting and enveloping. The burplap sacks hanging on the walls are the perfect decorations. In keeping with the spice trade theme, all the spices are displayed in or on wooden crates. I consider myself pretty knowledgeable when it comes…
Taco Diner – Addison, TX
Taco Diner serves consistently great, quality food. Dallas, Richardson, Frisco, Fort Worth, Southlake. No matter the location, the food is great. EVERY time. Addison was the location of my last visit. We were greeted to the light, airy decor with pops of green and colorful wall art. The waiter brought the chips and two salsa choices….
Nikki’s Popcorn Company – Dallas, TX
Even though Nikki’s Popcorn is practically in my backyard; I have never been. I went to get a gift for my daughter’s recent acceptance into a sorority. The owners, John and Nikki, went above and beyond to help me. John gave me ideas for candies, popcorn, and packageing in the colors of the sorority. Nikki…
Cafe Brazil – Carrollton, TX
I am a fan of Café Brazil and have visited a few of their locations in the area. I like that they support local artists by displaying their work. The restaurant was clean and bright. A friend and I arrived for an early dinner around 4 PM. There were only two other tables occupied. The server greeted us…
AllGood Cafe – Dallas, TX
AllGood Café has been on my restaurant bucket list for some time. I was glad to have the opportunity to try it. We arrived right before the rush and I am glad we did because the line grew quickly. I loved the thrown together interior. The origami pieces floating from the old ceiling tiles were…
Seven Mile Cafe- Denton, TX
Took a road trip up to see my daughter at UNT and tried Seven Mile Café on a colleague’s recommendation. Seven Mile is greatness. First off, there are two of them. One larger restaurant and a smaller coffee shop right across the parking lot. Both serve their amazing single origin coffees and bakery items. The restaurant has…
Zuzu – Addison, TX
I am not exactly how long Zuzu has been around but it has been awhile. In the early 90s I frequented two locations: Skillman and Lakewood. The Lakewood location is and cotijo. I was surprised and saddened when I couldn’t find it on the menu, though it still appears on their website. I love the bright, colorful interior….
The Diner – Farmers Branch, TX
I enjoy The Diner on a regular basis. Formerly a Norma’s, the décor is all diner. I have flashbacks of the sitcom Alice from the 70s every time walk in the door. I can hear Flo saying “Kiss my grits!” when I see this sign. I ordered the migas. I love them. The scrambled eggs with jalapeños, tortilla strips,…
The Pork Store – San Francisco, CA
On our last morning in San Francisco we LYFTed to Haight Street. We met my friend and fabulous photographer, Debra, for breakfast at the Pork Store. I LOVE the name. It was a cute little place decorated with vintage posters. The stained glass over the entrance is really amazing. We were there early so we had…
Cafe Bellini – San Francisco, CA
We tried Cafe Bellini based on their location and Tripadvisor rating (806/4,576). What we realized after entering is that it is really 3 restaurants in one. Different entrances but connected in the back. There is a burger joint, the cafe and a pizza spot. We sat in the cafe. It was clean and decorated in…
