I'm sharing some of my absolute favorite places to eat around the country today.

I love to travel and love discovering new places to eat and experiencing new foods.

I've been to Texas a million times so there are quite a few places in Texas alone that could fill this post up. But there are also several others so here it goes...

 

MICHIGAN
Ferndale

The Fly Trap

 

We ate here in August of 2013 while traveling to Bloomfield Hills, Michigan for a wedding.

It just so happened to be a Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives spot as well!

This place is located in Ferndale and was only about 15 minutes away from where we were staying so we absolutely had to go!

 

I had gingerbread waffles with sautéed apples, cherries and cinnamon syrup!

OMG YUM!

 

Ted had the "Green Eggs & Ham"

-Eggs with roasted poblano pesto & jack cheese with seared city ham-

I was SO jealous of this meal. While my waffles were delish, this was off the charts!

 

Honestly, If you get the chance, GO to this place! It was so good!

And for fun ~ Here's a pic of us at the wedding :)

 

 

TEXASSan Antonio

 

Saltgrass Steakhouse

 

This is hands down, an absolute MUST VISIT every time we're in Texas.

I've had quite a few things on their menu.

 

 

My favorite app is the Range Rattlers...
Jumbo jalapenos stuffed with whole shrimp and cheese then fried! HELLO!

 

 

 

Then once you've stuffed your face with these delicious pieces of heaven and all the Shiner Bock break you can handle... go for this....

 

 



Steak & Shrimp

 

 

It's ridiculously delicious!

~~ Heading North East ~~

 

NEW JERSEY

Atlantic City

 

Izakaya

 

 



This is one of the best sushi places I've eaten at. It's located about 45-55 minutes from

where I live and it a bit pricey, but totally worth the drive and cost.

 

Crunchy Lobster  Roll

 

~ Mango salsa, shrimp tempura, avocado, Serrano ~

 

I was hesitant to get this at  first because I was afraid it would be too spicy, well I was way off. It was perfectly spiced and oh so delicious.

Next up ~ My home town favorite!

 

Via Napoli

Ya'll I can NOT get enough of this place. We ate there just last night. It's so delicious.

We order in from here, we get pizza from here, salads, apps, you name it, we eat it!

 

My favorite thing is their 2 for $25 menu!

You get all of this for just $25 per couple.

 1 Appetizer to share

2 Salads -or- Soups

2 Entrees

2 Desserts 

For TWENTY FIVE dollars people.

That's a steal!

And it is SO good!

 

This is their amazing Pizza selection, which changes often so you never really know what you're gonna get.

Couldn't you just eat.it.all.

I know I could!

So back to the 2 for $25

We usually split the Spicy Shrimp appetizer which is 6 big shrimp in a spicy marinara sauce

We each get a salad with their white balsamic house dressing

I usually get the chicken parm over angel hair

Ted mixes is up - last night (yes, we ate there last night) he had the gnocchi Bolognese

And we usually both get a cannoli - I get a chocolate dipped one because, well, everything is better dipped in chocolate!

 

So if you are ever traveling to any of these places, give these restaurants a whirl.

I promise it will be worth your while.

 

And for kicks, here are a few other fabulous places to eat...

10th Avenue Burrito  - Best Mexi-Cali food (Featured on DDD)

Zinburger - AMAZING Burgers! AND Zucchini fries!

Texas Roadhouse - Who doesn't love throwing peanuts on the floor?

Cheesecake Factory - Has the BEST chopped salad!
