Tandoor & Tadka: First Experience: Had dinner at

Tandoor & Tadka: First Experience:
Had dinner at Tandoor & Tadka for their soft opening! They are located next to Don Sol in Carbondale and feature an expansive Indian menu that caters to a wide variety of palates. Their interior was modern and chick with tables for large groups.

We tried a whole bunch of items!
We started off with appetizers:
Gobi Manchurian Cauliflower
Mushroom bites
Veggie Platter
Bread Basket

Followed up with:
Mango chicken
Tandoori chicken
Tikka Masala with Goat
Cashew Mushroom Gravy

We ended dinner with their fantastic ice cream pops!

Food was fantastic and flavorful. The Gobi manchurian had great flavor and spice. The tandoori chicken came out on a sizzling hot plate, great presentation and a delicious dish. The goat was cooked well, and super tender. Literally every single dish was delicious, flavorful, seasoned well and had well balanced flavors. I loved every single dish. Absolutely no critiques on the food.

The pacing of the appetizers and entrees needed a little work, but it's their second day and they just finished with several large tables and a few smaller tables!! Great job to Navi and his staff!

This is a wonderful addition to the ever growing Carbondale food scene. Definitely add this to your list of must tries! Opens at 11A Everyday!

Stopped at St Nicholas Brewing Company MDH in Carbondale for lunch with some friends.
Not only is it a great place to eat, it's fun to watch planes take off and fly around.

We started off lunch with cauliflower wings, elote dip and the loaded fries!

Then the fried fish sandwich, fish and chips and their street tacos with fries.

The elote dip has been one of my favorites since their opening night. The creamy dip with corn and shishito peppers is a must try. We tried the cauliflower wings and that was great as well, it was light, the batter nice and crispy. It does have a little kick so if you don't like spicy, you were warned! The fish sandwich was nice and flaky, same with the fish and chips!

The drinks were creative and tasty as well. I had the the guava mama, la Paloma and I tried out friends "secret garden" and that was fantastic as well.

It's definitely a must try if you haven't. It's the only brewery in an airport and a great place to drink and eat with friends!

Had to stock up on supplies in Paducah, stopped by

Had to stock up on supplies in Paducah, stopped by La Juicy Paducah, KY for a little seafood boil.
I had the peeled shrimp, and scallops in the la juicy sauce. Keesha had the mussels and shrimp also in the la juicy sauce.
It's always a good consistent place to eat, Flavors are great, seafood is fresh and had a nice snap (fresh for the Midwest, I know you guys are gonna hit me with "no fresh seafood because we are in the Midwest") service and prices are reasonable. Two entrees and fried calamari was right under $70.
If you are in Paducah, make sure you try em out at : 5050 Hinkleville Rd, Paducah, KY 42001

We took Keesha's Grandma for a quick lunch at @huckleberryspub
Huckleberry's Pub in Mounds Illinois.
We had the country fried steak and the catfish special. The fried steak was great, nice and crispy smothered in a super sausagy gravy. The catfish was well seasoned and just the right amount of crunch. Our sides were mash potatoes, Mac and cheese, and greens.

Check them out at 149 Glen Hall Dr Suite #54, Mounds, IL 62964

Me and Keesha tried out a new to us place! Pizza a

Me and Keesha tried out a new to us place! Pizza and Pasta Express in Carterville! It's a restaurant located across from Rise Performance on the main drag.

We ordered the deluxe double Decker pizza, chilli Mac tamale, and the garlic bread! I was pleasantly surprised by double decker pizza, the crust had a nice chew, the sauce was not too sweet. The tamale we ordered out of curiosity, but the tamale was able to shine past the delicious chili that was smothered and then baked over. It had great flavor and I will order it again.

What else should I try next time? Comment below!

Located: 104 N Division St, Carterville, IL 62918

Also a late post. Had dinner at Underground Public

Also a late post. Had dinner at Underground Public House in Carbondale. I ordered the ceviche mixto with wild shrimp, octopus, scallops, clams, oysters topped with 2 fried soft shell crabs followed by the pozole ramen to split. Y'ALL..... Y'ALL....This is, in my opinion the best dish in Southern Illinois. The balance of flavors, the fresh seafood, the spice, the acidity all perfect. Josh really took it over the top with the additional seafood. The pozole ramen also had deep flavors as well, the addition of watermelon radish and cabbage added a bit of lightness to the dish. Unfortunately it is a limited time dish, so make sure you keep an eye for it to come back. For those who are going to comment about fresh seafood in the midwest. I've seen them unpack seafood that comes shipped overnight, unfrozen. That is the amount of care they put into their food.
