Mai Thai - Washington, DC

I’ve been to Mai Thai twice for dinner, and both visits were amazing. If you like Thai food, this is the place to go. This restaurant is classy and is perfect for a fun night out or an intimate meal.

If you don’t mind sitting at the bar for dinner, then do it! It’s an awesome seat in the house, plus your glass never goes empty. For a slightly different experience, you can opt for the seating areas.

The Crispy Tofu appetizer is simply delicious and cooked perfectly with a tasty sauce. I like spicy food – it’s not hot enough unless I’m crying, and I shed a few tears here. I had the Pad Thai Tofu, and it was wonderful. You must have dessert here and I totally recommend the Sticky Rice with Mango. I ordered this dessert at the bartender’s suggestion and was glad I did. The consistency and flavor of the rice goes perfectly with the mango.

I plan on returning here often, and you should definitely check it out if you find yourself in the District.

the comfort of Cracker Barrel

My most recent journey to North Carolina has stirred up some memories from the days of family road trips – Cracker Barrel is undoubtedly the go-to place when you seek good cookin’ during those long travels. There’s something about the Southern comfort and nostalgia of this chain that keeps you coming back for more.

I remember going there with my parents and how good the food and service was. Even though it’s not uncommon to find a dinnertime wait, it goes by quickly when you’re able to browse the country store and maybe even stop to play a game of checkers.

The food is never a let down and with breakfast being served all day long, you can’t lose. Cracker Barrel never fails with consistency, the food quality and smiling service is always the same no matter the location. I honestly believe that my root beer tastes better because it comes served in a frosted mug.

As an overall chain, kudos Cracker Barrel.
