Some dining notes…

Had a really nice pizza a few weeks ago at Katie’s Pizza and Pasta in Town and Country. I enjoyed the Pesto Quattro Formaggi pizza. One of the best pizzas I’ve had in a while!

Not so delighted by the Butter Bird pizza I had at Pizzeoli in Soulard last month. It was okay, nothing special. But don’t take my word, the joint was JAMMED the night I went there. Didn’t care for no menus, just QR codes on the table. On the plus side they had Athletic NA beers for $5 a can.

Watched Chrissy and Dave Dine Out on Hulu this week. They went to a pizza joint in LA. The food looked great. And now I have pizza on my mind again.

The biggest restaurant item I’ve ordered in some time is the Sunrise Burrito at Billy G’s Finer Diner in Chesterfield. That sucker is huge. And here’s the thing… I ate it all in one sitting. When it arrived at the table I thought I’d cut in in half and take some home but once I got going, I barreled through. I appreciate the fact that they offer breakfast items all day.

Finally made it to Mac’s on Oakland Avenue in December. I got just a single patty on my burger but I didn’t need more. Great burger! Fries are good, too.

Possible bigger than the Sunrise Burrito was the Butternut Ricotta Stuffed Pasta at Cafe Hollander in Wauwatosa WI. “Butternut Parmesan sauce, brown butter, ricotta rolled manicotti, butternut hash, baby kale, crumbled goat cheese, toasted pecans and balsamic glaze.” Rich and wonderful. Had that one in December on a visit to the Milwaukee area.

You can possibly discover a good place to eat in your neighborhood from Google ratings of joints in your nearby area. That’s how I found out about the Duck In Market in Valley Park. Certainly not fancy but the food is good and not expensive. I’ve mainly had burgers and fries there.
