The Honest Pint

Beer and boxtys at the Honest Pint, a new Irish pub in Chattanooga. This boxty (an Irish potato pancake) was filled with steak, peppers, and jalapenos, and was alot tastier than it probably looks in this photo. We had a lovely brunch while listening to live Irish music. The cheesecake was excellent also.

Chocolate Wine

Finally, a wine that I can pour on my cereal.

Now THIS is a Chicago Hot Dog.

Nothing beats an authentic Chicago hotdog. The poppyseed bun, florescent relish, sport pepper, Vienna beef, and salad on top are all a must.

Good Dog

A valiant effort but a Chicago hot dog fan is hard to please. This was from Chattanooga's Good Dog, one of but a few hot dog only places in the Chattanooga area. They get points for creativity with the "Dog Dust", a mysterious powder in a pepper grinder that has a definite taste of curry.

Dine-o-meter presents the Art-o-mat

The art-o-mat is a refurbished, vintage, cigarette machine from which comes tiny works of art for $5 each. Chattanooga's art-o-mat can be found at Create Here on Main street.

Pupusas in Honduras

Photos from a "pupuseria", taken on my recent vacation to Honduras.

Pupusas are a popular local dish served in Central America, primarily in El Salvador and Honduras. They are basically like a thick, filled, tortilla and are topped with onions or a cole slaw like topping called curtido.


After consulting with friends, my guide decided that La Cabana had the best pupusas in Tegucigalpa. The food was basic but good, and definitely inexpensive.
