After a couple days of great eating at some very classic roadfood establishments in Wisconsin, it was time to head back in the direction of home Friday morning. Our eventual destination that day was Toledo, Ohio, but we took a detour in northern Indiana to return to Goshen, where we enjoyed a great lunch atContinue reading “2025 Midwest Roadfood Trip (Part Three)”

2025 Midwest Roadfood Trip (Part Two)
This middle part of the trip report will be entirely devoted to our two days in southern Wisconsin. They started off with lunch Wednesday at the state’s oldest Chinese restaurant – and one of the oldest in the U.S. – the Cozy Inn of Janesville, Wisconsin. Regular readers of this blog know that one ofContinue reading “2025 Midwest Roadfood Trip (Part Two)”
2025 Midwest Roadfood Trip (Part One)
This blog was begun in 2021 so that I’d have public cyber space on which to recreate and save the trip reports that were permanently lost when the roadfood.com message board on which I posted them went defunct. It fairly quickly morphed into something else, but those reports are still available here along with aContinue reading “2025 Midwest Roadfood Trip (Part One)”
Ten Coolest Looking Roadfood Spots I’ve Visited
I had intended to post this week about my Saturday lunch outing. But you know what they say about the best laid plans. The meal wasn’t particularly good and left me with little desire to write about it. I am usually hesitant to post a mainly negative review about restaurants, not wanting to do anyContinue reading “Ten Coolest Looking Roadfood Spots I’ve Visited”
Connecticut 2023, Part 2: Eating on the Coast
As enjoyable as our trip had been before we headed to the Connecticut coast late Sunday morning, I was filled with a burning desire to eat some really good food by that point after a few meals that didn’t live up to my expectations. The first thing I had on my mind was a warmContinue reading “Connecticut 2023, Part 2: Eating on the Coast”
New York State and Connecticut: Part One
It was fantastic to be back on the road this past week when my wife and I ventured up to New York State and Connecticut to see old friends and visit a couple historically significant tourist attractions. This turned out to be an unusual trip in that we didn’t eat any noteworthy food until itsContinue reading “New York State and Connecticut: Part One”
My Roadfood Pantheon
I had planned on following my usual pattern by going out for some sort of long-roll sandwich yesterday and reporting on it here today. But I’ve got a very hefty meal planned for Friday and my body was telling me to take it easy until then. So to hold you over, I’ve put together aContinue reading “My Roadfood Pantheon”
Our Long Weekend in Virginia: Part 3
By our vacationing standards, it felt like Sunday had already been a busy and productive day by the time we returned to our hotel following our visit to the Civil War museum and brunch at Perly’s. But we still had another tourist stop and meal on the itinerary before packing it in for the eveningContinue reading “Our Long Weekend in Virginia: Part 3”
Our Long Weekend in Virginia: Part 2
I’ve mentioned in a post or two that I have a particular fondness for old drug stores that are still filling prescriptions and also have a soda fountain and/or lunch counter. They are probably a rarity in every region of the country at this point, but the Southeast seems to have a few more leftContinue reading “Our Long Weekend in Virginia: Part 2”
Our Long Weekend in Virginia: Part 1
My wife and I hit the road for the first time in a while this past weekend. Our destination was Virginia, where we spent a night in Staunton before heading southwest to Richmond, the state capital, for a couple more days and nights. Those of you who have read some of my old travel postsContinue reading “Our Long Weekend in Virginia: Part 1”
