I’m a huge fan of Chicken Charlie’s facebook deal of the day. Everyday there is a new special. These are the dishes I’ve tried. Fried chicken was crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Very good flavor from the spices. A bit like Popeyes. This chicken is tastier but Popeyes is cheaper.

Howlin’ Ray’s

Saturday 10am. It’s opening time and there is a huge line. Luckily most of the line was in the shade so while it was hot and humid you won’t get sunburned.
By The Beach Caribbean Cuisine

I wake up Tuesdays and I think about battered pieces of chicken dipping into fresh canola oil. I try to get to By The Beach by 11am when the chicken is fresh out of the fryer.
Rock Steady Jamaican Restaurant

It’s been awhile since I’ve been out here. My preschool was nearby. Lots of places to fix up your car across the street. I came to try the Jamaican food. I’ve never been to Jamaica to try Jamaican food at it’s source but I had good Jamaican food in the Cayman Islands. Allspice, nutmeg, and […]
Darbi’s Cafe

When I was a kid I remember going up to the mountains to play in the snow. After a few hours of frozen fun we would eat at a local rustic looking cafe or diner. Now it looks like the fast food chains are invading the Pinetop area. There are still old school places though […]
Da Chicken Coop

When I was a kid I visited Lemon Grove for activities like Octoberfest and they use to grow lemons here. They also had the big lemon. It’s a cool neighborhood symbol. My current neighborhood could use a symbol as it’s pretty boring. The lemon trees are gone now but I’m glad the big lemon is […]
Sister Pee Wee

I was watching the news and was thrilled to see Sister Pee Wee was being honored with Sister Pee Wee day on October 28 2017 by the Mayor and Larry Himmel Foundation. http://www.cbs8.com/story/36708968/community-gathers-to-celebrate-beloved-soul-food-restaurateur-sister-pee-wee I went to search for more information and found Sister Pee Wee had closed on October 6th. She had a good run […]
Garden Isle Barbecue & Chinese Restaurant

I wanted to try the Chinese food on Kauai and found Garden Isle Barbecue & Chinese Restaurant. Place reminds me of old Chinese restaurants back in San Diego. Decor is plain and the prices under $20 with most dinners around $14.
