Brunch at @JacobsPickles

Sitting atop a burly biscuit was fried chicken breast, coleslaw, fried green tomatoes, coleslaw and bacon. I ordered the Southern BLT ($18) and was warned itā€™d be the biggest meal. Not only did I want to taste all the fixings (and the fried chicken) but I wanted to bring some back home to bae since he didnā€™t tag along.

If youā€™re looking to be full full, or have leftovers later, Jacobā€™s will give you what you need. When our orders got to the table, we all sat back and tried to calculate the best angle to take the first bite from. I decided to take a fork & knife to mine šŸ˜‚

Breakfast at Pannes in Puerto Rico

I ordered the ā€œPopeyeā€™s Scrambleā€ which was basically their version of a Greek Omelete. Itā€™s was actually a pretty big serving for only $8.99. I also has bacon šŸ„“ & bread šŸ„– but I donā€™t remember if it came with the meal or was separate, sorry šŸ™ of course, I had lattes at the beginning and end of my meal ā€” the coffee was great, as expected.

Nobu Malibu

If you want to knock this place off of your bucket list, too, I would suggest going for drinks and maybe an appetizer. The food is great, but itā€™s incredibly light because itā€™s seafood so you donā€™t want to make this your main meal. The drinks were absolutely fantastic and so was the vibe. The place was packed when we arrived, with people even waiting in the doorway. We were only seated quickly because we agreed to sitting at the sushi bar. Itā€™s definitely perfect for date night, even if you only stop in to have one drink overlooking the water.

Waterfront Cafe – Barbados

Everything about dining at the The Waterfront Cafe was incredibly pleasant. I was on my way to the airport to catch my flight out & they attended us fast & kindly. The restaurant sits in a boat dock, so you can dine outside and watch the boats away in the water.

@GarrettPopcorn šŸæ- Chicago, Illinois

The oddest thing you have to try in Chicago is popcorn. Apparently there are tons of places you can get it from but the Chicago natives I met swear by Garrettā€™s. I got my popcorn to-go at the airport, where I got to talking with the woman in line behind me. ā€œGarrettā€™s is the only popcorn I eatā€ she told me, and if thatā€™s so, sheā€™s one lucky lady. While you can choose from regular buttered or cheese, I always go for the caramel.

Flo’s Clam Shack – Newport, RI

My mom says Floā€™s has been around since she got to Rhode Island ā€” the restaurant history dates back to 1936! Once upon a time, the $17.95 lobster sandwich was only about $10. It might seem pricey, but Iā€™d say itā€™s definitely worth it. New Englandā€™s cold waters force the lobster to fatten up quite nicely, so the hot dog bun they serve you is brimming with lobster meat. I love the the lobster is a bit cold, but the bread is lightly toasted. Youā€™re welcome to add mayo, but I just squeeze a bit of lemon on it and keep it moving. The fresh fries are also surprisingly good ā€” fresh and crunchy!

Japanese Cuisine at @HarlemNikkos122st – Harlem, NY

One of Harlemā€™s hidden gems is Nikkoā€™s Hibachi off the West Side highway. Providing great variety in food, drinks and setting , this Japanese restaurant is perfect for fun large groups or an even an intimate date night.
