Top This...Oh Trust Us, We Will! Great Sandwich Cafe Alert!

Restaurant: Top This! Cafe in Raleigh, NC

Dish:  Santa Fe Salad

Critique:  The Santa Fe salad made Sweetly kick up her spurs and shout “Yee-haw!”  Fresh greens topped with juicy grilled chicken and just the right amount of Tex-Mex veggies, salsa, black beans…you get the drill…and this salad really didn’t need, but she totally wanted the yummy creamy chipotle dressing they serve with it.  But her favorite part about this salad was that “the good bits” lasted all the way to the end...the very last bite.  That’s when you know you’ve had a good salad!

Score:  4 out of 4 Hotties!!


Dish: "Black and Bleu It" Chicken Breast with Bacon

Critique:  This beauty is topped with cajun seasonings, sautéed mushrooms, caramelized onions and smothered with awesome bleu cheese from bleuest of cheeses.  In full disclosure...The Hotness isn't a fan of bleu cheese, however after one bite she is on the bleu cheese train!  "Choo-choo!! Come on ride the train...choo-choo train!"  The best part of this dish are the home-made Rosemary and Parmesan Potato Chips, let me repeat that again... the best part of this dish are the Rosemary and Parmesan Potato Chips!!  Lays, Ruffles, Utz, etc...all Potato Chip Companies look out-it's about to be on like Donkey Kong!

Score: 4 out of 4 Hotties!!

Yes! Cracker Barrel is Definitely What It's Cracked Up to Be!

Restaurant:  Cracker Barrel Old Country Store in  Morrisville,  NC

Dish:  Home-Style Chicken with Mac n Cheese

Critique:  If Heaven had deep fryer...then this chicken is Heaven sent!  Crispy...done! Moist and Juicy...done! Crunchy...done!  These two glorious chicken breast were coated in the finest buttermilk before being fried in sizzling oil.  Browned to perfection...yes, the Lord is good.  It's undeniable after tasting the Home-Style Chicken de Cracker Barrel.  The Hotness was extremely pleased and didn't mind all stares as she ate the seasoned crumbs off her plate.  Oh, we must not forget the Macaroni and Cheese!  Trust me, we haven't...each gooey bite was quite memorable!  Happy times indeed!

Score: 4 out of 4 Hotties!!


Dish:  French Toast

Critique:  If Heaven had toaster, then this French Toast...yeah you get the picture.  It seems this French Toast should have several worthy adjectives such as "Golden French Toast", "Buttery Frenchie Toast", or our personal favorite "Ooh La La French Toast"  One good thing about Cracker Barrel is the portion size, come hungry or don't come at all!  Four huge slices of French Toast come served with HOT natural syrup.  Oh yea babe! Do bring out the scrambled eggs, bacon, and hash browns...it's not a French Toast party until all the goodies show up!  That's how we roll.

Dish:  Bacon, Feta, and Mushroom Pizza

Critique:  Sure, we all know that there are a gazillion pizza places located on every street corner.  However, the important thing to remember is QUALITY over quantity.  Whether it's sun-dried tomatoes, imported prosciutto ham, or roasted portabella mushrooms...Amante's Gourmet Pizza is in it to win it!!  Each slice is covered with gooey cheesiness dedicated to bringing da business to your gourmet pizza experience!  The atmosphere is family friendly and great place to hang out with friends.  Amante definitely means AMOUR to die hard pizza fans.  The Hotness recommends wearing a bib in case things get ugly...
