Welcome to Places I've Eaten! A food blog I have been doing for over 10 years! I review places I've eaten (duh!, hence the name) and random junk food I come across (sometimes I just have to try it). Over the years, I have spent as much time eating out as eating in. I used to work in a number of restaurants over the years where I learned a lot, both good and bad. As I eat about town I tend to look for value measured against what you are getting--kind of a big thing in my small wallet world so forgive me if I rail against tiny portions with egregious prices—like $10 sandwiches! I mean come on! Thus I try to highlight food that is (mostly) affordable, still tastes good, is sometimes healthy and occasionally off the beaten path. But I'm not above venturing beyond my wallet range for some fine dinning experiences. And, while not always the case, sometimes service and decor will catch my eye and I will toss that in for giggles. 

There will also be a few restaurant/food adventures from around and outside the US whenever I can muster up the money and energy to travel. In the end I will continue to engorge my appetite as often as my budget will allow, and if it's got bacon on it, I will be all over it! Butter and cream cheese frosting are also a plus. Not to mention something with cheese or pastries or cookies or cake, mmmmm.......cake.......I'm sorry, what was I going on about? Every food is a story and I highlight as best I can with pictures. Hope you enjoy or at the very least, get out there and eat on your own.
