I had the privilege of being welcomed to Bacchus Bar and Bistro in Irvine, California. This small eatery is tucked away and nestled among other restaurants in a shopping center off Quail Hill Parkway.

Morfia’s Texas BBQ
If you fancy yourself some great tasting barbeque and you find yourself in Marina Del Rey, California – please make a stop at this place. Morfia’s is delicious! Plain and simple!

Excited to announce…
Tomorrow evening, I’ll be going to a restaurant in Irvine, California for dinner. I have been invited to stop by via a connection I made several months ago. My hope is that I’ll be given a tour of the facility and the kitchen. I’m looking forward to speaking with the Chef/Kitchen Manager. This will be…
DK’s Donuts!
Donuts – who doesn’t LOVE donuts. Or is it “doughnuts”? (Does it really matter HOW it’s spelled?) While I was on a work assignment in Marina Del Rey, I was fortunate enough to be introduced to this haven of pastry goodness. DK’s Donuts is a small shop located at 1614 Santa Monica Blvd in Santa…
Charley’s!
There usually aren’t too many great choices at food courts in the malls across America. Shoot, I used to work at a food court in Escondido, California. I’ve ‘been there, done that’. As I tell my son, I loathe going to the local mall. Not because the mall is a bad place – I just…

Uber vs Lyft vs SideCar…
Those who know me know that I’ve owned a small red Ford Ranger XLT pickup truck for the past eight years. This little truck has helped me move several times – as well as help those friends in need as well. It was a 4.0L V6 engine that didn’t get very great gas mileage. It…
