Revamp!
I’ve been in hiding.
This is not on purpose. Work has
taken me all over the place. But now it
has placed me in Minneapolis ,
for good. Which means I get to go back
to taking in the city through culinary exploits. Needless to say, super stoked doesn’t even
begin to explain my feelings. New city , new
experiences, new food. With that I’m
also taking on a new endeavor, I’m looking to become a homeowner. I have been doing a lot of refurbishing and
refinishing projects on furniture. You’re
most likely going to get graced with stories of my adventures in home owning. That’s right folks, it’s a revamp on the
blog! I’m sure no one but my family
reads this, but now they will be able to see what I’m up to so far away. Enjoy and thanks for visiting!

Gyro Palace- Milwaukee
If you have read any of my previous blogs you know the
following things: I love local, I think the best way to experience a new city
is through their food, and I don’t judge a book (or in my case a restaurant) by
the cover. My first venture out into the
Milwaukee epicurean realm was Gyro Palace . Yes I am fully aware that this will now make
my fourth blog about gyros, but as I explained before
I freaking love these things. I also know
what you are probably thinking. “But HC,
gyros are not quintessential ‘Milwaukee fare’
and they don’t originate in Wisconsin .” Yup, I know.
But that’s what my stomach wanted, and I don’t argue with it, no point,
it doesn’t listen at all. This is not
the best looking restaurant, tucked away in a little strip mall on the south
side. The inside just has a walk-up counter and some booths, nothing special and not all together too inviting. I honestly didn’t mind, I was grabbing to-go
on my way to work anyways. So I ordered
a gyro and took it to the arena. Opening
it at my desk I was so excited. This was
the most meat I had ever seen on a gyro, ever.
It was tasty, the tzatziki meeting all of my qualifications; creamy with
just the right amount of cucumber mixed in.
There was so much to this “sandwich” that I left half of it for
dinner. Overall not a bad experience,
not the best gyro I’ve tasted, but definitely the most filling. Next time I will go some where a little more
archetypical Wisconsin .

Hiatus Comes to a Halt
It’s been a long time since I’ve taken the time to
write. Work has transferred me to Purdue University ,
so I no longer live in Louisville . My heart still and will always belong to the
Ville. However, I love being at Purdue,
my alma mater is always a great place to be.
Writing for me has always been a way to get my energy out. I’m able to leave my thoughts, frustrations,
feelings, and opinions on the page.
Today I realized that I miss writing this little blog and trying new
food. Sometimes people get caught up
with the everyday life and forget that the things which make you happy should
be brought to the forefront. So with
that epiphany I will be resuming my blog.
After being transferred to Purdue, I am now supporting in Milwaukee . No longer will I be visiting Louisville eateries, it’s the land of beer
and cheese for me. Stay tuned, stick
around, suggest somewhere if you would like and as always thanks for reading.

Artists Colony Inn- Nashville, Indiana
Never have I seen a
restaurant so mismanaged as the Artists Colony Inn. I don’t mind waiting
for a table, that isn’t a big deal to me, but when the reason I am waiting for
a table is because of the way management has staffed, set up the dining room,
and executed I tend to be a bit irritated. Honestly I should have known
we were in for a bad experience when an older couple was telling the manager
how disappointing their experience was and he seemed not to care at all.
After we were sat it took the waiter a minute to come over, when he finally
brought beverages he managed to spill water all over the place. At first
I thought it was our waiter who wasn’t that great, then we began to slowly
realize that wasn’t it at all. His section was huge, literally reaching
from one wall to another and outside. He probably had at least 9 tables,
and was not only taking orders, delivering orders but also busing as
well. Looking around we noticed that it wasn’t just him; all of the staff
was stretching super thin. How could the manager not have looked at the
weather report, known that we were going to get a break in the crazy heat, and
seen the possibility that they were going to get slammed? The
disappointing part of the whole thing was that the food actually wasn’t too bad
with the exception of my salad which I sent back because it tasted dirty.
During the entire time we were there the manager never once did a table
visit. He was too busy running in and out of the kitchen, busing tables,
and generally looking displeased at his staff. Excuse me sir, but your
lack of planning is no fault of the people who are busting their hump to try
and work. Also, I might recommend that you get a couple 2-tops since most
of your dinning room was being wasted by two people sitting at tables designed
for four, sometimes six, people. The kitchen was slow, neither the soup
and grilled cheese, or the pot pie that we ordered should have taken long at
all. It is a shame when a waiter has to deal with a rough kitchen and a
worthless manager. And it wasn’t just our table that struggled. We
watched an elderly couple be almost completely ignored, wait about 45 minutes
for some soup and have it immediately followed up by their entrée only to then
again be left to the point that the man eventually got up, tracked down his
waitress and handed her his card. I honestly would not return to this
restaurant if it was the only one open in town.
