There's not much I need to say here, this list says it all. Bon Appetit just released their top 50 Best New Restaurants in the U.S. (Please notice the article layout they were probably copying from my blog because of its' awesomeness.) While I'm sad to say I've only eaten at one of the said... Continue Reading →
CR Restaurant Week Kicks off: White Star Ale House
Tomorrow kicks of Restaurant Week in Cedar Rapids. An occasion that makes a pretty big splash in most other markets, giving patrons the opportunity to taste several areas of a menu for a fraction of the cost.

Butcher Block Steakhouse
While trying to not be put off by knowing everyone in the room from high school, I still managed to have a great meal at this place. Overlooking the mildly-seasoned burger, it was topped with a bunch of crap so I would assume normally you don't notice the seasoning. Better than a lot of other sub-par... Continue Reading →
Art and Cocktails in CR
Inspired by the newest exhibit at the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art, which is conveniently (for me) paired with cocktails, I went on a mini-bar crawl. Here's the article.
