Best and worst restaurants from all over the world, featuring some of our favorite or worst dishes and desserts.
The Earl of Normanton
How many times have I driven past this place without stopping? Several times when passing early in the morning before it is open or later in the day when I am faced with two very clear choices. One choice is to break the journey home, get comfortable and then have to break out of the womb like warmth and security of a decent hostelry to drive home. The second choice is to keep battling along the road for another 20 miles until I reach the womb like warmth and security of my own home.

Some of you may love going out to restaurants, some of you may hate it. Either way if you’ve never worked in the restaurant business, or it’s been a while, you’re probably lacking some manners.

Peli Peli Kitchen
"Welkom" to Houston's best Southern African-inspired restaurant that serves the best comfort foods. Everything in this restaurant is Instagram-worthy and here's why! When you walk in, you are greeted by young enthusiastic people who look like they're your average coffee shop drinkers. The place has an equal balance of light and vibrant colors, which for some people, like me, is really important. Nothing is more uncomfortable than eating in a dark, dull, and colorless restaurant. The way you order your food feels like Luby's with only a limited menu, but here's the thing: It's OK because their menu is quite tasty. Their prices are a bit high; they're not 50-dollars-a-plate high, but I did pay 18 dollars for just a plate and a side.

Dutch Bros Coffee Grand Opening: Blue Diamond Location in Las Vegas
Did someone say free coffee? After hearing that the new location of Dutch Bros Coffee in Las Vegas was giving away free 16 ounces drinks as a part of their grand opening I decided to head on over. I wouldn't say I had low expectations, but often times when a business is giving away anything for free it can be a bit of a chaotic experience. My experience was anything but. I don't live especially close to any Dutch Bros locations, but I will make a point to visit more often from now on.

The deli has all the good meats (including Boar's Head). They also have cheese and everything you need. They basically have a mini bakery. Including danishes, crumb cake, rainbow cookies, and black and white cookies. They also have multiple flavors of ice coffee.

Dining Out
Dining out is one of the most relaxing and satisfying feelings that everyone experiences at least a few times in their life. Maybe not so satisfying for your wallet depending on where you choose to dine, however still rewarding mentally and physically after a full belly. But for the people taking care of you all day and night it can begin to take a toll if you just can't seem to be a decent human being while enjoying your meal. Whether it's a cashier who is ringing up your order or a server who runs back and forth to cater to your every whim or even the cook who slaves over hot grills and ovens to make you a tasty treat.

Welcome to Torchy's Tacos
"Damn good" read a sign across the restaurant. My very first time eating at Torchy's Tacos was back in 2016; it was a group of friends and I at the Cinco Ranch La Centerra. I had no knowledge of what I was about to eat since at that time I could care less about food, but something changed. I gazed at the menu above the cashier and I saw a lot of combinations of a simple dish, tacos. I asked my friends around me what they recommended and they all told me their favorites. Now each answer was different. From one side you hear, "I love the 'Trailer Park" and from the other side you hear someone say, "Oh, no no try the 'Democrat'.'' I'm between two options, which is always hard when you go try something new because you don't know exactly what you want. It's my turn and I tell the lovely cashier "two Democrats." You might think two isn't enough but at Torchy's one taco is enough.

The Black Forest Inn
For those of you who have worked in the restaurant business you know it isn't an easy career. You work nights, holidays, and weekends. You miss recitals, games, and events that you look back on through pictures or videos. The same can be said for any family-run business. Seeing your family 24 hours a day seven days a week make you closer than most families, but can also cause you to grate on each others nerves more than most. The family at the Black Forest Inn in Stanhope, New Jersey manages to combine these two kinds of business and has been successful at it for 40 years. Their history is something remarkable and has survived in a town that has lost most of its business's during the years, but they have managed to survive.
