Septembeer 27, 2023 - Big Nate's Family BBQ - Mesa, Arizona (on Main Street)

 

My bridge partner Kim and I did quite well at bridge in Tempe on September 27, 2023….1^st Flight A Overall, 1^st Flight B Overall, 1^st Flight C Overall, 1^st Flight A E-W, 1^st Flight B E-W and 1^st Flight C E-W with a 69% game….for 2.33 master points…yes!  We are back…….

 I decided to celebrate by myself and  Big Nate’s Family BBQ which just opened across the street from me where Allison’s BBQ used to be….it was delicious…I ordered the Brisket Sandwich…and we combined it….with two sides – cole slaw and BBQ baked beans and a drink.  I am stuffed.  It was a huge sandwich…I swear a pound of meat!  Very tasty also.  I tried all the sauces and picked the one I liked the most…but I will try the others when I visit in the future.

 Welcome to the ‘hood.

Septembdder 23, 2023 - Chicagoland Hot Dogs and More - Mesa, Arizona

I was hungry for a brat or polish sausage.  Rhona and I decided to try this place just up the street from my house.

I ordered the regular Polish Sauage and yes – I wanted Chicago style with the mustard, pieces of tomato, peppers, onions, cucumbers and relish…plus a large order of onion rings served with ranch dressing…and water to drink.  Rhona had the cheese dog and an order of  Fried Zucchini.  I loved mine…and I am not a big fan of relish but this seemed homemade…and it was fresh and delicious.

September 22, 2023 - Uncle Bear's Bar & Tap - Greenfield - Mesa, Arizona

 

I was dying to have some Beer Cheese Soup..so I decided to try it at Uncle Bear’s.  I thought maybe I could get  a soft pretzel to go with it…guess what?  On the menu Baked Bavarian Pretzel with a side of Beer Cheese Soup and mustard…then I visited with my waitress who was wonderful…and she gave me a bigger cup of soup…and no mustard…but more cheese…yes!

I loved it…it was a thinner soup than The Hub’s…and I like my Beer Cheese soup not so thick…so I was a happy girl.
