Bits Of Dust

I am so itching for a road trip. One of my favorite things to do is to pack an overnight bag on Friday afternoon and drive somewhere for the weekend. Since our kids were born we don’t get to do that as often as I would like. In fact, with the exception of visiting the mountains just 2 hours north of us, we haven’t gone on a weekend roadtrip for almost four years.

When I lived in Las Vegas, one of my favorite destinations was San Diego. I would get off work around 2 in the afternoon and drive for several hours just to find myself sitting in one of the best san diego restaurants by dinner time.

While I would travel up and down the California coast on my weekend roadtrips, I always liked visiting San Diego. I don’t know what it is about that city, whether it was the beautiful beaches, the weather, or the downtown san diego restaurants that kept me coming back.

There was a time when I knew all the hot spots, where to find the best seafood, which places required me to wear socks (which I don’t like), and how much money I needed when I went out at night. It’s been years since I have been there and now I would need a san diego dining guide just to find the local diners.

I am really wanting to take a roadtrip. Maybe I can talk the wife and kids into going somewhere this weekend.

This evening, as I watched an episode of Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares on BBC America, I got to wondering about different London Restaurants and after a couple quick searches I ended up at the Harden’s Guide to London Restaurants.

At the Harden’s site you can search by cuisine or by features, but best of all, the results are sorted by price, and they have ratings (for food, service, and ambience) right there where you can see them. Once you choose a restaurant you can use the handy map to find them, and in some cases, you can make your reservation right there from the site.

I wish there were sites like that for cities across the United States. I am so hungry right now, and I would love to know who is open to serve me a really good burger.

Now pardon me while I get back to watching my food shows.
