Firehouse Subs - LOOP
Firehouse Subs - LOOP
Ok, new place, I'll give it a try.
My #FoodBill was $9.75 for the New York (Pastrami and Corned Beef.) 6 inch plus chips and a drink.
I was a bit disappointed. As you can see, it is lacking in meat!!! I can get a better sandwich at some of the local non-chain places for a better price. Maybe not in the Loop, but still.
On another note, it was good, so it made up for what it lacked in substance. Would I go back? Yeah, maybe, but I will order something else. I always believe in second chances!

Casey Moore's Oyster House - Tempe Az
Oysters in Phoenix?
Who would have thunk it? But there are and they are dang good!
I was in Phoenix for a night, after a weekend of travel in southern Az, I was tired and in need of some good food. I googled up places around my hotel room and found what looked to be a curious find, Casey Moore's. What the heck, I'll try it!
To start, the french onion soup was quite good, the perfect mix of sweet and salty, nice after taste of the cheese to mix. The oysters were the headline, so I tried them, being weary at first, knowing how hard it is to move these things around the world. I was floored, big, juicy and FRESH! The price for a dozen was pretty good to boot! Round that off with some seriously good wings, with just the right kick and a HUGE salad for my friend. I was pretty happy. Overall, with a couple drinks, the FoodBill was quite reasonable.
Absolutely, not a place to go to on a Friday or Saturday night, from what I hear and since ASU was out for the summer, it was a bit more quiet on the sunday evening I was there. But, this place looks to get BUSY when school is in session. Good music and friendly staff to boot!
Mo's BBQ - Humble Texas
Decent Lunch Time BBQ
I always enjoy hitting up Mo's for lunch when I am visiting Houston. It serves up some good BBQ at a decent price.
I personally am a fan of their brisket and the dirty rice really makes it a good meal. They pickle and pepper bar is pretty decent as well.
This is short and sweet, but the point is, at a decent FoodBill, you cant go wrong with Mo's for lunch if you are working out at IAH!
My 2 cents!
Hema's Kitchen - Rogers Park
A New Favorite Indian Place!
The picture which I took, does not do the food here much justice. 
The place had been recommended to me for a long time and I recently stumbled across it by chance while strolling down Devon. I had to slide in and give it a try.
The spicy tomato soup before the dinner had me sold from the beginning. We also had the vegetable Pakaros, which were perfect. There were also gluten free options, which for my friend, made the trip even better. The entrees, were perfectly spiced, my murg malai tikka was great and the vindaloo was just right. You got plenty of rice and the Chapati and the papadam made it a well rounded meal.
In the end, the price was less than $40 for a seriously big lunch, with coffees. I am sold on Hema's, I am spoiled after my venture here. I will definitely hit is up again.
Hard 8 BBQ - Coppell Texas
Seriously Good BBQ
I have been here twice and both times, Have been impressive. This past time, I got the $27.50 Rib Eye Steak, with two sides, it was outstanding!
The meat was perfectly cooked and lightly seasoned, the sides were very complimentary to the meat and the bean pot, rocked! I have tried both the buttered and the roasted corn, you cant go wrong with either. The only drawback is that the steak takes a little longer that if you are just getting your meat from the grill on the tray. If no one else is getting a steak, you will be a bit behind the curve. But it is worth it!
On top of it all, they put together a pretty good Margarita as well!
I know that they have several locations, I went to the one in Coppell Tx, I fed 4 people for less than $100, you can not beat that anywhere! This is a must go, no questions asked!
