Katie and I are collaborating on this blog and going to put the food critics of the world to shame. No, not really, but we will tell you about the great places to eat here in Jacksonville!

Monday
Al’s Pizza (Riverside) - definitely one of our favorite places in Jacksonville. On this particular day I had a BBQ Chicken calzone, which sounds crazy, but the combo of cheese, chicken and bbq sauce is unbeatable!
Katie had the classic- Al’s Chicken Salad, and that will make anyone a salad lover.

Tuesday
Lunch:
We were lucky enough to have a “lunch meeting” with Gayle (AAF Prez, boss’s wifey, good friend!) and ordered a little bit of everything they had!!! We munched on tabouleh, stuffed grape leaves, fried kibbie, meat pie, falafel, labneh and makdous. If you are unfamiliar with any of these terms (which we were, no worries) visit http://www.thecasbahcafe.com/. All was delicious!

Dinner:
Moss Fire Grill!!!! (Five Points) First of all we got the best place to sit- the couches upstairs! Feels like you are lounging at home with your good friends.
Katie enjoyed the Mayport Shrimp and Chicken dish and I got what I ALWAYS get- the Chicken Empanadas. Of course with some yummy Margaritas- good times!

Wednesday
Breakfast:
Jax City Café (downtown)- the most convenient breakfast spot for us, right on the corner. They are sometimes slow and at times forget things, but we keep going back because it is DELICIOUS!

Lunch:
Again, Jax City Café. I recommend the Riverwalk Sandwich and Katie says grilled chicken salad.

Thursday
San Marco Grille (San Marco). This is a very new find for us, and a good one at that! I loved my tuna melt and Katie her club wrap. Toni also ordered the salad she swears by- the Caribbean Chicken. Everything on the menu looks like it is worth trying, so we will be going back there often.

Friday (Happy One Year Anniversary to ME- at the theatre!)
Chew (downtown)- to celebrate, the K-girls started with prosciutto wrapped asparagus. We then shared Salmon over risotto and a chicken salad sandwich. (Sounds like we are on a date!) We ended on pistachio cake w/ pistachio ice cream- who knew!!! Wonderful! Good job Chew, as always.

Okay, so we aren’t really the best food critics and you really just have seen how much we eat out. Hopefully we inspired you to try a place you haven’t before!

Not sure where we will do dinner tonight, but it will be somewhere in this area because we have a show tonight!!!! Don’t miss Uncommon Music…for a Common Cause- 7:30pm and only $13.50!
