As you know, Dave and I are Foodies. We eat out a lot. Not big or expensive meals but tasty small items that we sometimes share.
On Friday the annual Foodie Awards were published. And were we surprised to see that several of the our favorite restaurants won!
You'd think that wouldn't be the case in one of the most touristy areas on the planet boasting thousands of restaurants.
For instance, we frequent only four breakfast restaurants and they all made the list. The Critics Choice is in a little strip mall within walking distance of my condo - The Maitland Breakfast Club.
The winner in the African/Soul category was Johnson's Diner. We were there with friends last Saturday night. I splurged and had fried catfish, cooked cabbage, fried okra and black eyed peas. Yum. Yum.
The place that won in the most categories and finally the Best Overall was Season's 52. I used to go there often with My Oldies. They were treated like royalty - because, at the time, they were there several times a week.
After Dave came into the picture we ate there many times with My Oldies. In fact, that was where Mr. Oldie threatened Dave's life the first time we dined together.
If you don't take care of this woman I know some men in Chicago....
Last night Dave said he would surprise Mr. Oldie by telling him about Season's 52 winning so many awards. I said maybe he shouldn't because, with their serious memory issues, they might try to go back and get lost because it's a bit of a drive for them.
This morning he told them. But it was no problem.
They never heard of the place.
