Eating my way through Universal Studios Florida

On a recent trip to Universal I recorded some of the current food offerings. here is the breakdown, first stop Finnegan's Bar and Grill

the Soda bread is free but a little on the dry side for me.

My happy family, Me with the Shepherd's pie which was the second time I have ordered it because its that good. My wife found a salad and son had a burger and thought it was OK.

Some pastries at the entrance to Island of Adventure

Just around the corner is my next stop is Confisco Grille

very nice theming

The Spinach dip was a nice way to start.

My choice was the Pad tie that this place is famous for and it did not disappoint.

My sons nachos i think he held off all the good stuff.

nice fresh pizza

The club sandwich

Next stop the Leaky cauldron for some snacks

My daughter and son-in-law celebrating a anniversary with a Butterbeer

Chocolate Potted Cream, no you can't keep the cup.

off we go to the Three Broomsticks

We got the Great Feast which feed all 5 of us and then some, it was very tasty for a counter service place. checkout the menu here

Not pictured was the ButterBeer ice cream that I had and it is one of my favorites now.

Also while waiting for a Halloween HHN event to start we tried some tasty tacos at 

Bumblebee Man's Tacos

The tacos were a nice quick meal. 

Thanks for reading.

Owensboro KY Riverfront Another Broken Egg Cafe

I had a chance to use some IHG rewards points to stay at the new Holiday Inn Owensboro which is also home to the Another Broken Egg Cafe.

This is a great riverfront walk for a city of this size.

We were lucky enough to get a room overlooking the river.

I did not try this dish but was told it was good.

This was my Bananas Foster French toast that was soooo good I was tempted to eat it all but I stopped on the last piece just so I could still get up.

Fruit topped oatmeal that was good

A nice touch with the coffee cups. This is a chain but being in the hotel I have to say its the best hotel food I have had,

Paula Dean's Pigeon Forge Restaurant

The new Paula Dean restaurant in Pigeon forge, TN finally opened after some delays and I finally made it there to eat. If you go, be ready for some buttery goodness.

A walk through the gift shop revealed many buttery items like this Butter infused Olive Oil.

This is the Dinner menu. The Lunch menu is the same but you only choose 2 meats instead of 3.

This cornbread and mexican cheesebread comes before the meal and was tasty and I tried to save some room.

This is the family style food spread. I didn't think I would need anymore but it did order a refill on the catfish because it was so good. The chicken was also very good but we could have done without the pot roast. Also don't miss the candied Yams.

The lovely view from our seat

Banana Pudding

Ooey Gooey Butter cake w chocolate chips

We enjoyed our dinner and it was a nice feature they have when you check in they will text you when your table is ready so you can walk around the shopping center.

Jack And Jameson's Smokehouse

I got to try a new local restaurant that is owned by General Hospital and Nashville tv show alums Steve Burton and Jonathon Jackson along with an industry veteran Richard Shannon.

The building is nicely remodeled with a wood smokehouse theme and a stage at one end.


I was pleasantly surprised at how good the food was here. They have a lot more than just BBQ although that is what I ordered. I went with the pork plate with a pretzel bun. The pork was smoked just right and the sweet potato fries were nice and crispy. I went with the pretzel bun on the side.

We tried a Winter Kale salad with roasted Butternut Squash on it that was delicious.

And we couldn’t leave without some dessert so we got the carrot cake which was tasty also.

The Yellow Deli in Pulaski TN

I have passed this deli several times and finally had a chance to stop by and try it.

When I went to the restroom I noticed something is different about this place.

I like the barnwood and rod iron and spiral staircase.

There is a nice patio upsatairs

And a juice bar.

My pesto Turkey sandwich after i had a few bites. It was good and juicy.

I notice all the workers had a hippy look and attitude and asked them who started this and I got an answer that it was some Jesus followers from the 70's and there are several Yellow Deli's around the country. It is worth a visit for the good food and service and atmosphere.
