The Kingsman Restaurant – Cayce, SC
I can’t say exactly how the Kingsman Restaurant ended up on my list, as there is a descriptive paragraph (with no source) and no reference to who told me. As we were driving through Columbia, I saw a highway sign for the suburb of Cayce. And my brain said, “There’s something in Cayce on your […]

Girl Diver – Atlanta, GA
For our anniversary, we were looking for some place new to try when I remembered hearing about Girl Diver, which opened in the Madison Yards development in late 2020.

Pulling a […]

Paul’s Tavern – Dubuque, IA
