eating is the hard part

With most of our vacation breakfasts taken care of at the homestead, I turned to Chowhound for help when the group was hungry for something a little out of the norm. And in a town that could just as easily put our butts at IHOP, I was happy to stumble upon Cheeky’s; a local joint with a fun feel and a great outlook on grub. In their words; “We strive to serve seasonal, locally grown, and preferably organic food. We change our menu weekly to adjust to whatever is the freshest in the markets. We also believe food shouldn’t come ready-made, so we make all of our batters, sauces, and dressings ourselves. It comes down to making the food we like to make at home and hoping you like it, too.” Read more…

Looking for a good burger on vacation just seems to make sense. After all, the taste of a perfectly cooked burger and sip of cold refreshing beverage is one of the best warm weather past times. So when I started scouring Palm Springs for a joint that cooks their burgers to order, Grind Brgr Bar seemed exactly like the place I was looking for. Owned and operated by a Kaiser Restaurant Group, Grind Brgr Bar is the latest addition to a collection that already includes Jackalope Ranch, Hogs’s Breath Inn, Kaiser Grille, & Chop House. Located above Chop House, on the trendy Palm Canyon Drive, Sarah and I walked up the steps to a 2nd floor patio that overlooked the strip for lunch after our trip up the mountain. Read more…
