#FridayFinds - Foster's Kitchen (Hawaii)

After a day of unsuccessful of troll fishing, we headed to a restaurant that was recommended by a guy on our excursion.  The food was very good and it was the only port that we were able to walk to stores and restaurants from the cruise ship.

Crab Cakes

Hamburger w/ Fries

Gumbo

Rosarito Margarita

Namaste.

#FridayFinds - Polli's (Hawaii)

While we were in Hawaii, on our Mountain Bike Ride, we stopped for lunch at Polli's.

The food was a bit dry but was overall good.

Chicken Burrito

Smothered Fries

Namaste.

#FridayFinds - 3 Ladies Thai Cuisine (Florence, KY)

We haven't found a "great" chinese place yet, but started to expand to other cuisines... Thai was the focus of this meal and we were happy with 3 Ladies Thai Cuisine.

It is not a "we must have often", but is good when we want some Thai.

Lard-Nar, Chicken (no broccoli or mushrooms)

Pad Thai, Chicken

Namaste.

#FridayFinds - La Torta Loca (Florence, KY)

We decided to try out La Torta Loca when they opened their Florence location...

It is Mexican food, but more Mexican sandwiches than our typical burritos...

And we liked it! Definitely a repeat for us.

Torta Loca

Torta Pepito (the better of the two)

On our second trip, I got an Arepas, but didn't get a picture.  It was smaller in size (more perfect for me) and just as yummy.

Namaste.

#FridayFinds - Alexxa's (Las Vegas, NV)

Here is another old friend of ours from Las Vegas.  They have recently changed their name, so the sign now says Alexxa's, even though we still call it Hexx.

The menu isn't as good as it used to be, but they still have two old favorites that we try to get every trip. I even spotlighted their potatoes on my Memory post on 8/28/2019.  :)

Breakfast Potatoes
(we always order a full side, not just what comes with the breakfast plates)

Farm fresh eggs (w/ egg whites and bacon)

Our other old friend - Cinnaroll waffles
w/ a side of bacon)

(I think) Meat Omelet

(I think) Brioche French Toast

Namaste.

#FridayFinds - Nacho Daddy (Las Vegas, NV)

We have been to Nacho Daddy many times on our Las Vegas trips, but they have never been added to the blog. Time to fix that!

On this trip, we were about to go Zip Line over Freemont Street and I decided that I needed a yummy "last meal"... just in case.  :) (And yes - I did zip line...)

I didn't get a picture of the restaurant name - kind of tight on the Freemont Street location, but I did get a picture of their interior proclamation.

Queso and Chips

Burrito

Quesadia

Asian Chicken Nachos
(my standing order every time we go)

Namaste.

#FridayFinds - Nine Fine Irishmen (Las Vegas, NV)

This was a spur of the moment decision.  We had just gone to a show in Las Vegas and were starving.  I am a fan of Irish cooking, but my hubby is not.  Since this was the only place in the Casino with no wait - we decided to give it a try.

And I am so happy that we did.  This is now on our "try to eat there on every trip" list.  :)

Michael Collins
(Baileys Irish Cream, Vanilla Vodka, Kahlua, Butterscotch)

Fried Pickles

Irish Cheesesteak w/ Fries
(shaved ribeye, peppers & onions, irish beer cheese on a hoagie roll)

It has been deemed a "must have repeat"...

Chicken Pot Pie
(tomato bisque, potatoes, carrots, onions, peas, puff pastry)

Yes - the base was tomato - and it was great!

FALL 2023 UPDATE: On our next visit to Nine Fine Irishmen, we got pretty much the same thing except I also tried the Brussel Sprouts... I will say those are the one things that probably won't be a repeat.

Namaste.

#FridayFinds - The Yard House (Las Vegas, NV)

I know this one is a chain, but we went to the one in Las Vegas.

I started the week there on a work trip and then morphed it into a vacation after the hubby and some friends arrived for a pool tournament.

Korean BBQ Cheesesteak w/ Sweet Potato Fries

House Cheesesteak w/ Fries

Tacos (not sure which ones)

Namaste.

#FridayFinds - Juice Press (Las Vegas, NV)

While I was on a work trip to Las Vegas - I ended up visiting the Juice Press a few times for "fill-in nutrition".  The first one - I was exhausted but knew that I needed to get something in my belly before heading to bed.  The second (and third) one, I couldn't find anything else that I felt was "reasonably priced" and sounded good - so back to the Juice Press I went.

Overall - My taste buds were happy with it... My expense report was happy with it...

                                            

Fountain of Youth (my least favorite of the 3)

Blended Mocha Buzz

Blue Magic (with no maca - I was heading to bed)

Namaste.

#FridayFinds - The Hive (Erlanger, KY)

We had some friends visiting from the north and wanted to take them somewhere new... 

On to The Hive in Erlanger we went. 

I heard it was great for brunch so that is what we did.  

We also tried their dessert cafe on the 2nd floor and was not disappointed.

Breakfast Bowl - Goetta + Potato + Egg + Cheese

Bourbon Spiked French Toast

Goetta

Frosted Animal Cookie Cheesecake

Buckeye Brownie Bar

Namaste.
