Well gang, today marks my 5oth post to the blog, and in order to celebrate, I thought I would offer my up my personal recommendations for dining in the four-state area.  There are high-end places to spend a lot of money for a special night out as well as local joints that aren’t fancy, but serve tasty food.  Sure, your favorites may not be listed below, but there are also a lot of places I haven’t been as of yet, so this list will always be growing and changing.  All of the locations below (in alphabetical order) are approved by yours truly, and cover a wide variety of cuisines at various prices points.  Locations are listed as well as website links for more information.  Use this as a handy guide for dining that should be a “sure thing” on your next afternoon or night out.
