#FridayFinds - India Palace (Lawrence, KS)

My bestie has been searching for a good Indian restaurant since they moved and has finally find it!

She is very picky on her Indian food, so that tells you that this is a place worth visiting if you are in Lawrence!

Butter Chicken and Garlic Naan

Namaste.

#FridayFinds - First Watch (Lawrence, KS)

We headed up to Lawrence for a girl's day and stopped at First Watch for brunch before exploring.

I didn't get a picture of the sign, but the food was extremely good!

Honey Bacon Brussels Hash

Mint Mocha Iced Coffee

Namaste.

#FridayFinds - Chef J BBQ (Kansas City, MO)

We wandered out looking through antique stores and stopped by Chef J's for lunch.

This place is apparently really good because they sellout often, well before the close time.  

We got there on a Friday about 2pm and were the last to get served.  I don't know if it was because the food had been sitting for a while or not - but I wasn't super impressed as my entree was incredibly dry.  

I think if we had got there earlier, it would have been much better.

Namaste.

#FridayFinds - Torchy's Tacos (Olathe, KS)

I headed back out of town for a work trip and added on to see my besty.

Straight off the plane and we stopped by Torchy's to stop my belly from growling.

This is one of her family's faves and it didn't disappoint.

Namaste.

#FridayFinds - Bake's Place

Another new spot near the new job location. 

I've been here twice and always get the same thing... AND always forget to take a picture!

One of these days, I'll snap a pic of the Chef Salad...

Until then, enjoy the beautiful sandwich that my co-worker ordered - I wasn't hangry at this point, so I remembered to grab a picture. :)

Egg Salad on a Croisant with Cole Slaw

Namaste.

#FridayFinds - Wild Eggs

My work location changed slightly - I'm still in Downtown Cincinnati, but in a different area....

You know what that means, right?  Yep, some new restaurants to try.

Some co-workers and I have been to this location twice (showing pictures from both trips) and it is so close to the office (and reasonably priced... we won't talk about the food options in our building) that we will probably go again.

Strawberry Pancakes that we all shared for dessert

"ACE" of a "BLT"
(Avocado, Cheese, Egg added to Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato)

Mexico City Chilaquiles (I think) w/ Fruit

Deli Turkey & Cheese Egg white Omelet w/ Sausage and Fruit

Veggie Bennie Florentine w/ Fruit

Namaste.

#FridayFinds - Off The Strip Bistro Bar (Las Vegas, NV)

Another trip to Las Vegas... Another restaurant to try...

Classic Cheese Burger (I think)

Chicken Parmigiana

BLT with lettuce wrap instead of a bun

Namaste.

#FridayFinds - The Steakhouse (Palm Springs, CA)

Another work trip... Another new restaurant...

The food was good... The conversation was even better... Love learning about new things.

This place isn't a repeat for me - not because the restaurant isn't worth it, but because I cannot handle the heat of Palm Springs.  I do not plan on visiting ever again as my sinuses have threatened to divorce me if I do.

Brussel Sprouts (a little plain)

Crab Cakes (amazing)

Namaste.

#FridayFinds - Red Leprechaun

Rounding out my birthday week, I wandered into an Irish Pub....

The drink was AMAZING and the food was okay...

If you find yourself on the Banks in Cincinnati - the drinks are worth a stop!

Namaste.

#FridayFinds - Gold Star Chili

OK, OK, OK - I know everyone thinks Cincinnati Chili when they hear Gold Star (or Skyline).

AND - I absolutely hate Cincinnati Chile.  Can't stand it.  Pasta with chili sauce is not chili - it's goulash.

BUT - I do like hamburgers and my hubby likes Cincinnati Chili...
So, we decided to go for the Burger Week so that we could both have something we like (and this was during my birthday week and I wanted a hamburger!).

The result - good burgers.  If hubby is craving that god-awful chili, I can get something that I like.

BUT - no go on the fries.  I should also say that I can't stand cheddar cheese which a BIG staple at this restaurant. I tried the Parmesan Garlic Fries as an alternative, but they should rename those Mayonnaise Fries because that is all the topping tasted like.

Namaste.
