Local Lime is a casual restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating (which is closed-in and heated during the winter,) with booths, tables, and a bar. The bar is in the middle of the fray and I have never seen an empty seat at it. Also be aware of wait times as it is not uncommon […]

Crab Cake at Ruby Tuesday
Ruby Tuesday does not have many items on their menu which I consider healthy, but their crab cake meets the requirements and is very tasty. It is crispy, full of crab meat, and has a good amount of salt, pepper, and other spices. I just wish there was more of it! Tweet

Classic Roast Turkey

Salmon Sandwich at Holstein’s in the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas

White Tuna at Igibon Japanese in Little Rock
White Tuna Sushi from Igibon I used to visit Igibon every week until they sold to different owners but enjoyed my visit last week after the haitus. I really enjoy the sear on the edges and the siracha sauce on top adds a nice amount of heat. Tweet
