Review: Philly’s Phamous Cheesesteak
It’s just a cheesesteak. No one from Philadelphia would ever be caught dead ordering a Philly cheesesteak. When they order them outside of Philadelphia, they’re still called cheesesteaks. To order one south of the Mason-Dixon Line borders on treason. Ask any Philly native and they’ll tell you they’re just not the same. Commonly, it’s the [...]
Review: Roosters in Stone Oak
Shave and A Haircut, Two Bits. Roosters Men’s Grooming Center is the gentlemanly thing to do. I didn’t need a haircut as badly as I do normally when I head to get it chopped, but I had bought a Groupon awhile back and it was about to expire, so I thought a good trim would [...]
Review: Lemongrass Thai Restaurant
Delicious Thai in San Antonio It has been awhile since I have had any Thai food, but as I was heading to an appointment today and feeling a bit hungry, I spotted Lemongrass Thai Restaurant on my way north on US 281 (I believe it’s the old Martha’s location – next door to the Egg [...]
Moses Jewelers in Stone Oak
Hidden Gem in Stone Oak All puns aside, I recently stopped by Moses Jewelers off of Stone Oak Parkway in San Antonio (map) and was looking to get a few items appraised. I don’t do a lot of jewelry shopping (after being robbed I’ve sworn off ever buying expensive jewelry ever again), so on the [...]
Review: Local Coffee
Not your average cup of joe. I am in no way a coffee snob. If you tell me it’s coffee, I’ll drink it. Cheap or expensive, espresso or drip, bitter or sweet, fresh-brewed or been sitting way too long. That’s not to say I don’t know good coffee when I taste it. I had been [...]
Do you Yelp?
Yelp San Antonio “What in the world is Yelp?,” you might be saying. Then again, with it’s explosion of popularity over time, my guess is you’ve heard of it at least once. Yelp, simply put, is a review site. You create a profile and dig in. I’ve been yelping since September 2009 and have been [...]
Review: Brasserie Pavil
Paris comes to San Antonio. You may have heard me mention Brasserie Pavil before, but this time, we’re not talking Twitter, we’re talking amazing food. It was my eight year anniversary with my wife recently, so we decided to swing by Brasserie Pavil (map) for a late lunch/early dinner. My wife and I are pretty [...]
Spicy Ginger Asian Cafe
Hungry For Something Delicious? I’ve been driving by the Spicy Ginger Asian Cafe (map)for months now and always reminding myself that I should try it. The location used to be (very briefly) a Dunn Bros. Coffee shop (which had excellent coffee), but shut suddenly. Tonight, while driving home, my wife and I were discussing dinner [...]
Sorry for the absence.
I’m back… did you miss me? As you may know from my earlier post on the subject, I recently attended the Blog World and New Media Expo in Las Vegas, Nevada. What a trip! Four days and nights surrounded by some of the best and brightest bloggers and social media lovers from many different industries [...]
The Tap Exchange – A Pub In The Truest Sense
Beer, food, and conversation. The Tap Exchange in San Antonio, Texas (map) might just be nirvana for beer lovers. And food lovers. And people who like to sit back, relax, and enjoy a good conversation with friends or one of the most knowledgeable beer men since Bob and Doug McKenzie. The owner of The [...]
