Food YOU HAVE TO EAT! NOT EVERYTHING IS CLOSED ON MONDAYS!!!! WHERE DO YOU EAT ON A MONDAY? We love to frequent locally owned restaurants in the Greater Peoria Area before ever considering a chain restaurant. Don’t get me wrong – salad/bread sticks, fast food chains and cheddar bay biscuits are nice at times however…I like to know that I am supporting someone who lives in […]
Food The Cheesiest Place in Town You know the cute neighborhood bars you see in movies or TV shows, that are literally right in the middle of a neighborhood? Looks like a house, but it’s a restaurant-bar? There aren’t that many around anymore. However, there’s one in the middle of Peoria on Loucks Ave that not only has it’s regulars, charm, […]

Many local places are not open Sunday, Monday, or even Tuesdays – with good reason! They are open the other days and need […]

They moved from a teeny location on Sterling to the old Becks’ Florist location on Lake Street in Peoria. Much bigger space for you to walk around and think about how much popcorn you would like to order. The minute […]
Food Jonah’s Seafood House, Oyster Bar, and Market Last year, I remember a colleague of mine was in town and we were trying to decide where to go to dinner. She is originally from Alabama and LOVES seafood. I recommended Jonah’s Oyster Bar since it was close to the hotel. She was hesitant to get oysters at a place that was right on […]
Food Amazing Greek cuisine will make you say OPA!!!!!! If you’re anything like our family, the age old question of “What’s For Dinner?” is usually a given response of “I don’t know, What are you thinking, or even I’m not hungry”. Since we have been trying not to duplicate where we order carry out, we always seem to agree on a few places. Tonight’s […]
Food Carry Out Challenge It’s been tough for our local restaurants this past year. With some having to close, some choosing to temporary close – we can still help and do what we can! Until tomorrow night, participate in the #CARRYOUTCHALLENGE. Purchase gift cards to be used at a later date or get dinner for your family. Do what […]
Food Farm to Table dining…The Fried Green Tomato BLT Odds are, if you have eaten at Hearth, you have heard how they shop at the local Farmer’s Market for the best produce. It’s apparent in their Fried Green Tomato BLT which is a seasonal special item offered. It is UNBELIEVABLE. The atmosphere is quiet and cozy as where you can have a nice glass […]
