#FridayFinds - Village Pub & Cafe

We've been to Las Vegas so many times that we tend to go to the same restaurants over and over...

This trip, we wanted to try some new ones, especially the ones that we have heard are more economical... The Village Pub & Cafe was on the list - and we ended up going their three times - once for breakfast, once for lunch and once for dinner.

Yes, it has been added to the list for future trips...

Biscuits and Gravy

Chicken and Waffles

One of the breakfast plates

Chicken Fettuccini Alfredo

Loaded Fries

Chef Salad

One of their wraps

Spaghetti

Namaste.

#FridayFinds - Mt. Everest Restaurant

The second evening of my work trip (just outside of Chicago) found my group stopping into Mt. Everest Restaurant which specialized in authentic Indian cuisine.  

We made it just in time for happy hour, so we ordered off of that menu.  The food was enjoyable and worth the visit.

Lamb-something (I don't remember what the exact name was)

Samosa

Cauliflower Pakora

NAAN

Namaste.

#FridayFinds - Prairie Moon

On another work trip just outside of Chicago, we were walking from meetings to the hotel and found Prairie Moon.  

We weren't super hungry, so we got two things off of the appetizer menu and split them.  

The food was pretty good and we even took leftovers back to our rooms, which is saying a lot!

Blue Crab Cakes

Brussels & Bacon

Namaste.

#FridayFinds - Beef 'O Bradys

We aren't big on "bar food" and so we hadn't prioritized this one as that is what it felt like.  

A family member experienced it and told us that it wasn't just bar food, so we decided to try it out.

We were not impressed.  There was a lot of tables taken, so we might be in the minority - but I was very disappointed in my salad and though his food was good, it wasn't so spectacular that he has wanted a repeat.

Chef Salad

Bacon Burger with Fried Pickles

Namaste.

#FridayFinds - Salt

Another group dinner during the work trip to Boulder, but this time - not family style, but I still snapped pictures of everyone's food (and I don't always know what they ordered!)...

The food was good and would be worth a visit if you are ever in Boulder.

Brussels Sprouts

Heirloom Tomato and Burrata Salad

(I think) Vegetarian Tasting

Wood Fired Mary's Chicken

Gnocchi Bolognese (My choice - and was probably the lowest on my list of taste that night)

Pan Seared Sea Scallops & Pork Belly

Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp

Namaste.

#FridayFinds - Sherpa's Adventurers Restaurant & Bar

On another work trip, I had another group dinner... resulting in lots of pictures and great company! The restaurant served Indian food with authentic recipes.  We ate "family style" so I'm not sure what everything is. :)

Onion Pakora

Mo:Mo Appetizer (Tibetan dumplings)

Saag Dip

NAAN

A combination of all of the foods ordered for the table...
I believe that there was some Tikka Masal, Curry and Korma ordered (we had a mix of vegetarian and non-vegetarian entrees).

Kheer

Kulfi

Namaste.

#FridayFinds - Beaverlick Trading Post

Something that we have missed since moving back south are dessert options.

So, when we heard about Beaverlick Trading Post's Monster Milkshakes, we decided to try them out.

The two of us split one of the shakes, but I did grab a picture of the menu sign to show the other options. Honestly, it is huge (we still threw some away after both of us eating) - so it matches the price tag.  The problem - if the two of you don't like the same things, then it isn't a good value...

Peanut Butter Palooza

Namaste.

#FridayFinds - Mi-Vida

Washington DC is definitely a "high cost" city and the supper prices are extremely high.  For this dinner, we were trying to be a bit kinder to our wallets and ended up at the bar at Mi-Vida to order off the happy hour menu.  

The bill ended up being normal for a supper back home... The food was okay for the day, but the portions were a bit small and snacking was required soon after.

Taco Tuesdays - Pollo

Taco Tuesdays - Carne

Queso Fundido

Namaste.

#FridayFinds - 21st Amendment

Our vacation to Washington DC found us trying out the 21st Amendment restaurant.  

The food was okay for the day, but I remember thinking that the menu was pretty light.

Chichen Quesadilla

Chicken Salad - though I don't remember which one

Premium Steak Panini (I think)

Capital Cheese Burger

Mashed Potatoes (to go with my Chicken Salad - yes, I'm a little weird)

Namaste.
