I'm Julie. I like to eat lots of random food, particularly sweets. Somewhere along the way, my friends and family realized I have strong opinions regarding my culinary pursuits. They started asking for recommendations all the time. I got sick of writing the same e-mails and answering the same questions over and over, so I finally started taking notes, and sharing them. I never intended to write a blog, which you can probably tell given the quality of the photos, usually just quick snaps with my camera phone. Once I started writing down my thoughts, I realized I really enjoyed it. So I kept doing it. My friends seem to find from my posts, and I hope you may too!
I started out mostly just writing about fancy restaurants, but my scope has expanded, and I've adopted the following format:
- Monday: Reviews of chain restaurants, catering, or food trucks.
- Tuesday: Taco Tuesday, or other special Tuesday series (like, Travelin' Tuesdays!).
- Wednesday: Full service restaurant reviews or Waffling Leftovers.
- Thursday: Reviews of bakeries or ice cream shops.
- Friday: Packaged snack foods or drinks.
- Saturday: Day off!
- Sunday: Chocolate, or other candy.

Does anyone read your reviews? I read one on Jack n the box cheese cake, looking to find a recipe for it because its so tasty. Then I looked for comments on any of your reviews and found none? What good is this site if no one reads it and leaves comments agreeing or disagreeing with the review?
ReplyDeleteI dO!
DeleteI do all the time. Don't need to review the posts to benefit greatly from them.
ReplyDeleteThank you!!! I'm glad you find some use!
DeleteHi Julie! I just found your blog while searching for restaurants in the Lebanon area, and I just wanted to say how much I love it! I like that it runs the gamut between upscale places to chain restaurants and product reviews. Your dedication to your craft is impressive. My husband and I are actually moving to Lebanon from Boston this summer for my fellowship (I'm sad about the diversity of food we're going to be losing), but your reviews have really come in handy. Anyways, happy eating!
ReplyDeleteI hope your move went well and you are enjoying some of the local eats! And thank you for the kind words :)
DeleteI have been trying to order the raspberry eruption cheesecake since 'nam.
ReplyDeleteYour comment kind of has a hateful tone to it…she created this site with her opinion in mind n most people who came to this site probably did too. If you’re searching for Collective opinions ,why don’t you visit the appropriate sites so you don’t have to make irrelevant comments..after someone’s time and effort they put in to their blogs. You sound so ignorant, not every site is like Amazon. And bc it isn’t, it certainly doesn’t mean, nobody reads her reviews. Stupid people.
ReplyDeleteJust a comment on you June 2023 flight
ReplyDeleteYou noted there were three vegetarian options. This 3 included the lasagne made with Parmesan
Parmesan is not vegetarian and has never been.
It’s important for readers and the airline to now this as I was previously offered their Parmesan laden lasagne as their vegetarian option….which it can’t be!
