“That Food and Travel Guy” Restaurant Recommendations – 2016
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.
