I’ve always tried to take extra good care of my parents – after all, I owe them. There is nothing they wouldn’t give (or give up) for me; they’ve lovingly supported me in every possible way over the years. After losing my dad to cancer last September, suddenly I feel compelled to spoil my mom. Holidays are still particularly difficult for us both; I find it helps to completely distract myself with new experiences. So when I saw (in an email blast) that DBA (Dante Boccuzzi Akron) was hosting a Mothers Day Celebration, I jumped at the opportunity and made a reservation. My mom hadn’t been to the spot since Vegeteranian had closed. DZ and I had enjoyed one phenomenal meal there soon after DBA debuted. It was an experience that just had to be shared with my mom.

Kozmo’s Grille | Massillon, Ohio
Massillon is a charming Northeast Ohio town with a wealth of historic buildings. It is home to a very cool art museum and picturesque, quiet downtown. Despite the fact that Massillon is only a short 20-minute drive from North Canton, it’s not often that we venture there. But when we do, there’s one restaurant that we cannot miss, Kozmo’s Grille on Second Street.
Alleia Restaurant | Chattanooga, TN
I’m still not entirely comfortable revealing to just anyone that I’m a food blogger. Sometimes it seems like a strange thing to bring up in conversation. So when dining with people I don’t know well, I skip my typical nerdy blogger routine, which includes photographing not only my food, but everyone’s at my table as well. This process is saved only for those “special” family and friends, who recognize my food obsession and tolerate me anyway.
When I went on a trip to Atlanta and Chattanooga recently for business, I somehow managed to restrain myself for most of our meals. Except for one. By the end of the three-day trip, I finally decided to throw caution to the wind and snap some pics for this blog post. (Who even has to know I’m taking pictures? That’s why the iPhone is the best camera ever – nobody needs to know you’re not texting or checking email!)
