In this episode, Tommy and I return to our land to work more on our wild pond, which is quickly getting the better of us. Special shout out to my dad for all his help and to both my parents for cooking and putting up with us. Also, we're probably the last people on earth who have never eaten at a Panera Bread, so we got the opportunity to try that. If you're in the market for a really cool salt or fresh water fish store, this place has it all and the people are pretty great, also. <a href="https://www.thefishroom.net/collections/cary-inventory">https://www.thefishroom.net/collections/cary-inventory</a>

In this video, disaster strikes and we're forced to forgo the fun of our regular videos by adulting as we shop for a new grill and smoker. Is the Pit Boss 8 in 1 Smoker and Grill Combo worth the price tag?

This beautifully preserved 1700's estate offers so much in the way of showing how life in Colonial Times was. Afterwards, we had lunch at Maddy's Public House (aka, Maddy's Pub) on the square in downtown Washington. This Irish pub offered tasty treats to please even the most discerning palate, such as a six-year-old's... who has recently begun to venture into eating meat.

In this episode, Tommy and I return to the North Georgia Mountains to visit the Rhododendron Festival at the Georgia Mountain Fair Grounds.

In this episode, Tommy and I spend the afternoon at one of our local favorite restaurants. Fuku Asian Bistro is a locally owned Asian Fusion Restaurant specializing in Japanese, Chinese, and Thai. The food there is consistently amazing and the service is top notch. Fuku is located off Keith Bridge Road in Cumming, GA.

In December of 1982, the quiet town of Summerville, Georgia was rocked by the horrifying double murder of Dr. Charles Scudder and his life partner, Joey Odom. 41 years later, their deaths are still talked about and their former residence has become a pilgrimage spot for the paranormally curious and crime junkies alike. Corpsewood Manor lay in ruins, but this doesn't stop the ghostly activity that many feel takes place on the remote grounds of the Scudder-Odom residence.

In this episode, Tommy and I kept it close to home and visited Alta Vista Cemetery in our home base of Gainesville, to check out some famous graves. Afterwards, we headed to Zaxby's for our standard sharable chicken finger plate and some of their new peach tea. The tea is worth the visit!!!!!

In this episode, Tommy and I visit McCormick, South Carolina and the site of a brutal massacre of English settlers who dared to encroach on Cherokee Territory. Afterwards, we returned to a local favorite, Saxon's in Abbeville, for arguably THE BEST hotdogs in the south.

In this episode, Tommy and I make a few unplanned stops in Tate, Ga. Known for its Marble production, this tiny town in North Georgia has some unexpected treasures with everything from its historical train depot, a cemetery that houses some of Georgia's most notable icons and founders, and also a restaurant that's been voted as one of the best hidden gems of North Georgia. Tate is a perfect stop for day trip through history and local food culture.

In this episode, Tommy and I revisit Washington, Georgia, a small town that has big history!!! We explore this historical Robert Toombs House, visit the past inhabitants final resting place, before having a delicious lunch at the Bull and Pig Restaurant.

My absolute favorite Asian restaurant serving Chinese and Indonesian food has brand new menu items for the new year. The restaurant that I am talking about is Phat Phat in Schaumburg.

I had wanted to visit this restaurant for many months since I heard it was opening. This restaurant is part of the Cooper’s Hawk restaurant group. The name of the restaurant is Piccolo Buco in Oakbrook, IL.

I think it's important to preface this review by saying that I am not a huge fan of Mexican food. I've never been one of those people to go crazy for tacos and margs. For me, Chinese and sushi is where it's at.

There have been many restaurants throughout the years that I consider fad restaurants. These restaurants gain popularity either via social media or from a celebrity or popular Internet influencer.

In this episode, Tommy and I day trip to Greene County where we explore the Post Revolutionary War Ruins of the Old Fort Mill Settlement. Built in the 1780's, this now ghost town ruin was once a thriving metropolis. Afterwards, we visit Elder Mill Bridge and have a wonderful lunch at Sabor Mex Grill.

So Popeyes released the Blackened version of their Chicken Sandwich and I must say, this was an unexpected turn of events. Does it taste better than their original? Well let us find out together.
