Where I Go Out

Banana oatmeal

Cafe 222

$$, Breakfast, Marina

"They cook rolled oats in milk and top it with caramelized bananas, raisins, and a little brown sugar. I have it after a good long run. She makes everything there from scratch so sometimes I'll have a scone along with it."

Atlantic salmon taco

Rubio's Coastal Grill

At My Venues

The BH Burger

Bankers Hill Bar & Restaurant

$$$, Happy Hour, Modern, Full Bar, American, Bar, Park West

"Everyone claims to have the best burger in town, but this is the one. I love the simplicity of it. In my opinion, it’s all about the meat and the homemade bun. They serve it along with their pickles."
