To be honest if I have one gripe about restaurants generally it is with their “front of house” staff particularly with respect to the “maître d” or manager role. Call me old fashioned (there I go again!) but my best dining experiences have been those where the maître d has bee...
Fast-food franchises and national chains are often clustered near parks, but once you’ve eaten at one Wendy’s or Moe’s or, heaven help us, Applebee’s, you’ve eaten at them all. But what about local restaurants? Despite the dominance of the chains, most towns have a few great dr...
If you're in the mood for a juicy steak, Mi Ka Duo Steak House is the place to go, serving up perfectly grilled cuts of meat with all the trimmings. Hua Lien Xiang Bian Shi is another local favorite, renowned for its authentic Taiwanese dishes bursting with flavors. For a unique ...
