We had been tipped off by a friend where we could get some “seriously good pie.” To be honest, I could have come back every day for a different flavor of pie. These were outstanding and unique styles and flavors. (Bath, England, 2023)

I’m after pizza where I can find it. This time it was in some small joint in Naples. So good, so fresh, so hot. (Naples, Italy 2011)

A friend called me a few weeks ago and asked if I wanted to have dinner at Real Chili. It had been a while since I’ve sat down to this Milwaukee classic dish. If you know it, you love it or you know someone who loves it. The simple counter, the bright lights, and the…

One of the locals I know recommended El Imperio. When i walked in, it had all the earmarks of great pizza. The decor was simple and functional. The pizza kitchen was in the open and set up for high production. We were there early (about 8:00 p.m.) so we got a good table and this…

Mr. Yee’s has been serving food in Kenosha since 1955. Although if it was made today, the neon would read differently. However today, the neon would never have been crafted. I always loved seeing the sign as I drove by. The food was good too. (Kenosha, Wisconsin, 2026)

I love it when I travel and I come across an alley full of murals and color. I stop, appreciate it, and perhaps take a photo. In this case this alley is about a mile from my home and I can walk over and appreciate it. After I walk over I can grab a cup…

It was perfect symmetry. I was on the road in southern Illinois and I stopped at a pancake joint for breakfast. I noticed the array of syrups and the brown container name caught my eye. I looked up to give my order to the waitress and her name was “Brandy.” I doesn’t scream Wisconsin any…
