BJ's

I had high hopes for this blog:

1. I would write often
2. Others would write often
3. Posts would be thorough
4. People would read it
5. It would introduce readers to new places to enjoy

Well, I can't do anything about 1-4, but I can introduce a new local restaurant. OK, it's not local; it's a chain. And, I guess it's not new but, rather, new to the area.

It's new to me and it's great. BJ's serves a variety of food I guess, but I have only had three items:

1. Pizza: deep dish and soaked in garlic. Its like a pizza dream come true.
2. Bruschetta and Artichoke dip combo: drool....
3. Pizzookie, Pizooky, Pizuki?: I don't remember how they spell it, but it's a giant cookie baked in a personal-sized pizza pan and topped with vanilla ice cream. It's really tasty.

If you've been, let me know what you think.

Benny's

Cheese steaks = Good

More later.

UPDATED
Kate took me to Benny's for a late lunch while I was sick about two weeks ago. As I so succinctly stated earlier, the cheese steaks were very good. I must admit that not being able to breath definitely lessened my enjoyment, but I would certainly make the drive again.

Benny's is located in the Kroger-anchored strip mall on Avery Rd just north of 161. You can't miss the sign. It says "Benny's," so, unless you can't read, you should be able to find it.

Pita Pit

The Pita Pit is opening this weekend on High Street next to Bob's Bar.

I hear that they're offering free food Saturday and Sunday!!

UPDATE
I ate at the Pita Pit a couple of weeks ago. More specifically, I ordered food there and then ate in the car while I waited for Angie to get her hair done.

I had the shwarma which, loosely translated, means meat and fat shaved from a giant rotisserie and served on a bun. It tasted just like the kind of food I would get in the bazaar in Iraq. Which is to say that it is very poor quality food that tastes wonderful!

I haven't been back, but I would like to return. I recommend it.
