As I started writing this review, I realized that some of our restaurant choices during our mid-Atlantic trip seem inconsiderate toward our vegetarian. The reason I thought this is that the Corner Stable is a barbecue restaurant. However, in my experience, many barbecue places have a decent fish dish on the menu, and our daughter enjoys fish. For the rest of us, slowly cooked, smoky meats were our lure.
Like any area, there are debates over which restaurant has the best Italian, best barbecue, etc. Corner Stable is one of two in the Baltimore area known for its barbecue. Decorated

Battle of the Cheesesteaks
by TT on May 17th, 2012 | Restaurant Reviews
The last week of April we took two of our teens on a combined work/pleasure trip to the mid-Atlantic region. With a schedule of a few meetings here, a little sightseeing there, we were able to enjoy the kids' week off from school while maintaining a relaxed business schedule. Journeying down the Atlantic coast, we made stops in Baltimore and Philadelphia.
Of course, one of our purposes for visiting Philly was to see historic sites. However, I'd be fibbing if I didn't admit that an equally as important purpose was to eat cheesesteaks at Geno's and Pat's. I know, a

Buffalo Wild Wings Nachos

For any of you who have ever gone to a Buffalo Wild Wings you know they are very popular for their wings. For those of you who haven't been to a Buffalo Wild Wings, you probably live in New England, Montana, Idaho, Washington, New Mexico, Wyoming, or Utah. You have probably also never visited any of the Great Lakes, because they are everywhere there. I live in New England, but I have family in Maryland, so a decent amount of the time when we visit, we go there. Depending on who you ask, Buffalo Wild Wings (BWW) have the
Beacon Hill Hotel & Bistro, Boston, MA
by TT on February 16th, 2012 | Restaurant Reviews
Last Sunday I was invited to dine at Beacon Hill Hotel & Bistro. Bringing my husband as my dining companion, we headed to Boston on a cold and blustery February afternoon. The warmth of the food, staff, and atmosphere definitely helped erase the memories of the cold outdoors.
We arrived in Boston early and spent some time shopping on Charles Street. However, with the cold temperatures, we decided to cut our shopping short and head to the restaurant early. They graciously seated us 30 minutes earlier than our reservation. This didn't seem like an inconvenience, as we were the

Olé Mexican Grill, Cambridge, MA
by TT on February 2nd, 2012 | Restaurant Reviews
On an evening without kids in our company, what better way is there to spend the evening than a leisurely dinner for two at a restaurant? With last Friday being one of those nights, I graciously accepted the offer to dine at Olé Mexican Grill. Not only would it be a romantic dinner for two, but it also would allow us to try a new-to-us restaurant.
We arrived at Olé about 30 minutes prior to our reservation. However, we were able to be seated promptly. The restaurant was packed but well-staffed, which seemed to keep all of the patrons
