May 30 - Biscuits Cafe

 

It's finally coming... the closure of the Dreamy Draw bike path is set for Thursday June 10, per the latest Drought Pipeline Construction Update. So with two Sundays left before the shutdown, you can all be certain that we're doing the Dreamy Draw both days..

So this week, it's Biscuits Cafe at 7th St. and Bell Rd. for the 3's. Richard and the 4's will be going to Panera at Metrocenter. See ya Sunday, oh and rock on...

May 23 - The Henry

 

On our way home Sunday, Deb was using Jedi mind tricks to send us to The Henry this Sunday. Well it worked, we'll be heading up the Dreamy Draw and over Mummy Mountain to The Henry, while the 4's are going to Moon Valley Cafe.

One note about The Henry- we used to sit at the large picnic tables and order at the coffee bar. That is no longer possible, as that room is now only available to reserve. I have instead made reservations for two tables of five, as they can't accommodate a single table of 10.

May 16 - Kiss The Cook

 

The 4's are headed up to Country Boys Restaurant at 32nd St.and Greenway, and the 3's will take Horace Greeley's advise and go west to Kiss The Cook at 49th Ave. and Glendale Ave. Eugene came up with the idea and notified the management, so if you don't like the food, blame Eugene. And if you don't like the route, well then blame me! 

Rock on...

May 9 - Ranch House Grille

 

The 4's are heading off to Irma's Kitchen, and at Eugene's suggestion, let's hit up the Ranch House Grille this week. Last visit was in October, but I know I wasn't there (we were still doing high-availability testing I believe). 

Oh, and rock on...

May 2 - Randy's

 

I have had Randy's in the back of my mind for a visit, and then Richard sent his May destinations, and right there at the top is Randy's. 

As they have a big patio, and we are starting early these days, I thought we could join the 4's this week. Doesn't hurt that they seem to get your food order telepathically in the kitchen, and to your table before your second sip of coffee. 

Don't forget they are CASH ONLY still, so no computification machines at the table for us to scratch our heads to figure out. 

This week, I got an email from The El Tour de Tucson people for a new event scheduled for March 25-27 of next year called El Tour de Zona- looks interesting, check it out here...

April 25 - Snooze


This week, the 4's are off to Whataburger on Indian School, and the 3's will be taking on a trip to Tempe to hit Snooze on College Ave. 

And since we're heading that way, here's one of my favorite songs from Tempe's own Refreshments. No truer words have ever been sung.

April 18 - 32 Shea

 

The 4's are heading off to Wildflower Bread Co. at 42nd St. and Indian School, and by request I've got 32 Shea as a destination. Route will be Mummy Mountain, but in reverse (i.e. south to north). Looks like another nice day, see you there.


Rock on with one of my favorite unappreciated UK bands from the 70's...
