Just 2 blocks from the White House, Old Ebbitt Grill serves locally sourced food and wonderful ambiance in the heart of downtown Washington DC A few weeks ago I was back home in Maryland visiting family and friends. My friend Kara lives in North Carolina, but occasionally comes to town when I’m visiting. This was …
Franklin’s is a restaurant, brewery, and general store all in one. Don’t miss the opportunity to check out this very unique place in Hyattsville, MD. Every July I go back to Maryland for a couple of weeks, as my final relax/recharge/revive before the chaos of football season begins. The first few years I wore myself out, trying …
Super Duper Burgers. Locally-sourced products, homemade pickles, and declicious food. You’ll definitely want to find one near you in San Francisco. My Association of Luxury Suite Director’s conference was a couple weeks ago in San Francisco. Our hotel was the San Francisco Marriott Marquis, in the heart of downtown. On Wednesday lunch was on our …
Last weekend I visited my friends Joni & Tony in Flower Mound, TX. I usually take my time Sunday mornings: no alarm, go running, have breakfast, sometimes hit Central Market, and leave late morning. But last weekend was different. Oklahoma and Texas have had so much rain this spring…tons more than normal. In May it …
Last week I had a lunch appointment with a club seat holder couple. They recommended Tucker’s Onion Burgers. Normally if the suggestion is a place I’ve been before I’ll ask for something different. But my last trip to Tucker’s was the new location on Classen Blvd; this one was at the original location. How can …
I drove back from the Big 12 tournament on Saturday. The drive home always seems to take a million times longer than the drive there, no matter where you’re coming from. I always get really tired–and hungry–right about in Wichita, so it’s the perfect place to stop for a little pick-me-up. For some reason the …
My ALSD (Association of Luxury Suite Directors) conference was a couple weeks ago in Kansas City. It’s in a different city every year, and they focus on cities with new venue construction or major renovations. The previous 7 years it’s been in Phoenix, Miami, Dallas, NYC, LA, Minneapolis, and Orlando. Next year it’s in San …
A few weeks ago I was in Dallas visiting Joni. Our days pretty much consist of me getting in a morning workout, deciding where to eat lunch, doing some shopping and/or nap, and deciding where to eat dinner. It’s really quite simple, but fantastic at the same time. We decided to head to Southlake on …
About a year ago I did a post on what I do at the bowl game, and one of the things I talked about was finding bar(s) to be our official party headquarters. If the hotel and stadium are close enough to each other, we just use the same location for the whole time. If not, I’ll …

Heather and I have been friends for 17 years, starting when she began working at Maryland…geez that makes me feel old. We’ve been there for each other through thick and thin, good and bad. I don’t need to go into details…she knows what I mean. My summer trip back to Maryland almost always coincides with her birthday. I got …
So my first stop is, of course, a burger joint! We were headed to the caravan in Bartlesville, and stopped for lunch at Fat Guy’s Burger Bar in downtown Tulsa. James found the restaurant on Urban Spoon, and we agreed it was the place to go. I think I might need to call Guy Fieri …
