Phipps Feeding Fiasco

The experience We were reminded a week or so ago about a great little local spot here in Plano by one of the comments we received.  We decided that tonight (a Friday) would be a great night to go so that we wouldn’t have to battle others going out in Dallas or even some of [...]

The experience Dr. Mom was away again this evening, so after a late nap for Benji, it was off to dinner. Dusty was joining us and he was in luck; we were going for burgers at Scotty P’s at Firewheel. Grace mentioned we should try a low-key burger joint or two so now was as [...]

The Experience We decide early on (we’re starting to get the hang of this) to hit one of our favorite Korean restaurants, Jin Mi. We had the plan all worked out, I was going to pick up Mina from school, run an errand, and call Ogre on my way home so that he was ready [...]

The experience I’m working again tonight, and not wanting to miss a Phipps Fiasco meal, we head out for brunch.  Mina’s favorite place is The Original Pancake House.  I don’t actually know where the original The Original Pancake House is, I know it’s not the one in Plano, but it’s really close to where we [...]

The experience Today we planned to have dinner with one of my best friends and her family.  Unfortunately, one of them was sick, so we had to change plans.  I did not want to go to the restaurant we planned to go with them, so I looked on-line to find something for this evening.  I [...]

The experience Mommy, M.D. was working an overnight shift at the hospital again and I had a Tom Petty concert to attend so, dinner was early this evening  (Oma and Grandpoo were babysitting) .  That also meant staying in the area.  Grace suggested Pho Que Huong before she left for work.  Sounds like a plan. We arrived [...]

This initially received a 4 star rating, but I have dropped it to 3 (a generous 3), for details on why, click on this link: Compari’s The Experience Today was Mina’s first day of school!  So…we decided we would take her to her favorite Italian restaurant, Compari’s.  Why, you ask, is this her favorite restaurant? [...]

The experience I want to make dinner at home.  Yes, this going out business wears on me.  So, today we went out for lunch.  We may doing breakfast or lunch every weekend so that we can have dinner at home!  We give Mina the choice of burgers or Indian food.  She chooses burgers.  She tells [...]

The experience Mina chose pizza as the cuisine tonight.  We decided on Campisi’s, and while we typically go to the location in Plano, we drove to the original location in Dallas for the full experience.  Campisi’s Egyptian Restaurant still sits where it’s been since 1946.  The Egyptian Restaurant part of its name came from the restaurant that sat [...]

The experience I am embarassed to say that we have driven past this restaurant at least a thousand times and have never given it the time of day.  A few days ago, we were surfing the restaurant review sites looking for “the best” and came across Zander’s House as one of the top rated restaurants [...]
