Big Ass Kid Eats @ J. Alexander’s – Cincinnati

J-Alexanders-Cincinnati-Sign-

So Mother’s Day came around and I had this big plan to take my mother to Ruth’s Chris for lunch so I made reservations at 1pm on that Sunday at The Banks but just one big ass problem! The Reds were in town and yea the game started at 1pm which meant not a parking spot anywhere downtown so after wasting time and gas looking for a place to park we decided to head over to J. Alexander’s. We pulled up and they had a 20 minute wait which wasn’t bad at all for Mother’s Day but we decided to skip the wait and eat in the bar area…

Big Ass Kid Eats @ Fishbone’s Rhythm Kitchen Cafe – Detroit

Fishbones Detroit Sign-August 2012

When I’m in Detroit I always stop by Fishbone’s for food and drinks. Fishbone’s Rhythm Kitchen Café is a New Orleans inspired restaurant that serves seafood, steaks, sushi and more. Fishbone’s doors have been opened in Downtown Detroit since 1989. Now I first got hip to Fishbone’s about 5 years ago when I was in town visiting my brother from another Big Greg “Buckienaked” I stayed at the adjoining hotel called The Atheneum and it’s been on ever since…So here is my routine EVERY time I stop in! First I always sit at the bar and order a Corona and a shot of Hennessy…

Big Ass Kid Eats @ North Of Brooklyn – Toronto

North Of Brooklyn-Toronto-Pizza 1

For those who know me know I’m all about pizza! For me it gets no better than a New York style cheese slice. I’ve eaten at the so called “best pizza” spots around: Di Fara (Brooklyn), John’s (Manhattan), Sal & Carmine’s (Manhattan), Lombardi’s (Manhattan), Giordano’s Chicago deep dish bullshit to Cincinnati based LaRosa’s and most national chains which I won’t name…Trust I’m always looking for a good slice and with that being said I’ve been back and forth from Cincinnati and Toronto now for 2 years and it has been a challenge to find a good slice in the TDot. I have had Pizzanova, Pizza Pizza, King Slice and Pizzaville just to name a few and they all pretty much sucked! So I started goggling and found a spot called “North Of Brooklyn”…

Now there is 3 locations in the Cincinnati Tri-State area: Hyde Park, West Chester and the one I choose the Crescent Springs, Ky location right off 75 at Buttermilk Pike…I got there around 4:30pm 30 minutes after they opened to beat the dinner rush. The inside of Bonefish Grill was nice, lights down low, candles lit, great place to chill after work for happy hour, take a date or hang out with family which in my case my moms…
