  1. As nice as it is to know there are restaurants around, whats better than grilling on an open fire?

  2. Carl’s Ice Cream is a national treasure. You HAVE to stop by…it is delicious!

  3. I trekked all these restaurants but somehow nothing compares to a hot, huge pizza after a long day of fishing. My wife fancies the complicated meals and she dragged me to Olde towne steak and seafood a couple of times which was nice and the atmosphere very homey but I’m a pizza guy.
