First restaurant in Texas: Soulman's Bar-B-Que!

Hello there, good to see you again.

Soulman's Bar-B-Que

818 I-30 Frontage Rd, Royse City, TX 75189

(972) 636-0000

This was the very first restaurant that I went to in Texas, because driving in state from the east you will end up seeing this place as the first BBQ restaurant, and Texas is famous for BBQ and steak so I gave it a try!

They have sense of humor, for example, look at their logo it's a pig in sunglasses and their warning 

sign, so I bet the owner is very nice guy or girl.

When you walk in every stereotype is true, from country music, to the wooden western tavern style facility ,people with southern accent and cowboy related items everywhere in the restaurant. and how you order are just like Dickey's you choose your meat, sides, etc.

The food here is okay, not what I expected from Texas, but the nice service and facility compensate it pretty well.

So if you're coming in to Texas for the first time, give this place a try to satisfy your hunger. It's a good start to magnificent journey to Texas food utopia.

And of course more humor in the bathroom.

Review: Diener's Restaurant

Diener's Restaurant

135 W Main St, Mechanicsburg, PA 17055

(717) 766-6913

If you're talking about the hottest spot in Mechanisburg for breakfast, this is it: Diener's, the absolute gem of downtown Mechanicsburg for breakfast spot. It might be hard to find the parking for this place because it is a small restaurant on the main street of Mechanicsburg and doesn't have it's own parking lots, so parking is quite hard because this place is very popular. Oh, and be careful not to park in the lots next door because that's Colony House Restaurant's parking lot, and there is a reason I won't mention them, if you know what I'm saying.

As you walk in, you will start experiencing the house-like cozy atmosphere, very friendly environment and old fashion style decorations. Quite peaceful, and can be romantic.

Their menu is different weekday and weekend. These are the weekday's menu very strait forward and easy to understand.

1 point taken away for me is that water is not filtered.

But the food is very nice: fresh egg toasted bread that is not too burnt like many places. Delicious french toast and good coffee come with cheap prices. The very simplistic plate presentation is perfect, and this is the best choice to start your morning.

Warning: Saturday morning and Sunday after church are crazy busy, so plan your trip wisely. You will bookmark this place on your favorite list in no time.

Review: The Circular at The Hotel Hershey

The Circular at The Hotel Hershey

100 Hotel Rd, Hershey, PA 17033

(717) 534-8800

The name 'Hershey' is the avatar of sweetness in itself, and this is a very well-known restaurant in Hotel Hershey.

 One of the five awesome places to dine is the Circular!

As soon as you walk in to the Circular, you will understand right away where the name comes from.

It's also very well decorated  in the dining room: nice, clean, and sophisticated.

The varieties of the food are different every week: could be duck, trout, etc. Whatever their special dishes are, they always capture my attention. Very tasty, plus the atmosphere always makes me think of how sweet life would be if you can do this everyday. It's important that your meal is fabulous and sophisticated because it will make you really appreciate life.

When you think of the name Hershey, you think of chocolate, and when you think of chocolate, you think of dessert. Hershey is known as the sweetest place on earth, and that's is not just a saying; it's beyond that, because all the dessert that is served here is made by the queen pastry chef of the world, Chef Cher Harris . So it's guaranteed that you will be served with the best dessert in the entire planet with the exceptional sweetness to finish up your food journey.

I would like to point out their attention to details here. The coffee is Ellis coffee, the finest coffee of Philadelphia since 1854, it will be yours best coffee that you ever have!

If you live or visiting in PA, The Circular at The Hotel Hershey is a must! You will feel the zenith warmth of hospitality that PA has to offer.

Surrounded by Reality

There are so many times when you feel down, but there is one song that has just the right message to lift you up and keep you going. You see things everyday, sometimes so alluring that they can cause you to forget to appreciate what you already have. It makes you want it so bad that you don't think of the consequences. I know that sometimes you just like things to be that way, because it's fun to think about it, and it's challenging. You want to see if you can do it, but of course the moral way is to abandon that thinking and get yourself back on track. You don't think of consequences because you never experienced what it's like, or you just hope that things will just turn out fine. 

We like to have our fantasy world where everything goes our way, and as you know, unfortunately the world doesn't work like that. I know it sucks it really sucks, why do we have to follow the rules, why do we have to work hard, but it does make sense if you think about it. If the criminal way of thinking prevails all the time, it will be disastrous. We don't care as long as it doesn't effect us directly. 

Unfortunately, we have to think about others who share the same planet we live on. Heck, we all know it would be nice if people are just nice to each other all the time, but we have our little spaces that we just don't want to interact with anyone. With that being said, the best we can do is to minimize the pain and disappointment that we are guaranteed to face everyday to it's smallest. 

The key is to be moderate in everything; when you are engaging with someone, don't be too excited or too gloomy towards people. It's all about satisfaction: if you're not truly satisfied fake it. I did say minimize, not genuinely express, so whenever, wherever or whatever the situation is, always remember to be satisfied, and if not, fake it, and your life will be a little easier.
