Sushi, not everyone can eat

Throughout my life I was taught the traditional life style of the Navajo tribe. Growing up with taboos of what I can do or can’t do, eat or not eat was instilled in my head deeply. With a mental list of what I was able to eat was fine when I was living at home but after being in…

Fast Food Hype or History. Quick In-&-Out Burger Review

Recently I ate at a In-&-Out Burger for the first time. People from the West Coast, specifically California, have always bragged about the dankness of In-&-Out. After eating there, I’m still left to wonder why? The quality of the meal…

Dick’s Last Resort Should Be Your First Resort

As my father and I walked closer to the looming neon palm trees, I grew increasingly suspicious. When my dad spotted Dick’s Last Resort in downtown Indianapolis, he immediately decided that was where we would eat for the night. “Have you ever heard…

Out of Place

Immediately upon entering, I could almost feel my blood thicken. The lights were dim, the music was soft, and everything seemed to have a strange shine to it. It was a true moment of self realization. I looked down, suddenly feeling brutally aware of my tattered, stained clothing, and my messy knotted up…

Guido’s not just a name for Italian men

The little Italian restaurant and market was quite the experience in Durango, Co. The market side was amazing. Well stocked with homemade gelato, fresh cheeses, herbs and meats. Delicious meals of lasagna, gnocchi and alfredo were running through my mind…
