Lucky's Cafe

Greetings,      I have been watching Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives for a number of years now. I'd say at least 10 years. I keep a little notebook of all the places I want to try and the food Guy Fieri ordered. I love finding locations when I'm traveling and trying them out. I even have a scrapbook of the Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives and Man vs. Food places I've gone to. I feel that it is time to honor my absolute favorite location so far-Lucky's Cafe in Cleveland, Ohio.      This restaurant is pretty small, but when the weather is nice you can sit at the picnic tables outside next to the garden. The food is farm-to-table. The vegetables, herbs, and fruits are grown in the garden or bought from local farmers along with the meat and eggs. There is a seasonal house-made jam that I ALWAYS buy a jar to take home for $6.50. (The jar is small, but seriously, just do it.)      They're only open for breakfast and lunch. Beware of the weekends, the wait times

Thurman Cafe

Hello Friends,      I am an unashamed cuisine enthusiast, or "Foodie," so many of my adventures I post will involve food. I came across Thurman Cafe while watching Man Vs. Food (when Adam Richmond was hosting). I have actually been here quite a few times over the years before and after moving to the Columbus, Ohio area. The picture below is from the first time I went there in 2014, and the sign is no longer there. It is a tiny place in German Village outside of downtown Columbus know as having the "tastiest burgers in Columbus."      It definitely a dive bar with dark lighting (hence why the pictures aren't clear), minimal seating, and signed dollar bills all over the walls and booth benches. I haven't asked the story behind why people sign the dollar bills and they get taped up everywhere, but it's their "thing" to say they've been there and tried it. When I say tiny, I mean TINY. The dining area consists of a bar, some high tables
