Whether you’re coming in after a morning stroll along the river or easing into a lazy Sunday, this is the kind of place where comfort food meets creative flair.
The Menu: Classic Comfort Meets Creative Flair
It was honestly hard to narrow down what to order — everything on the menu looked incredible, and we immediately started planning what we’d try next time (Goat Cheese & Peach Biscuits with strawberry jalapeño jam, I’m coming for you). The menu perfectly captures southern comfort food but with unexpected twists that keep things exciting.
We decided to start with the Deep South Waffle, and it turned out to be one of the most unique breakfast dishes I’ve ever had. Imagine a waffle filled with andouille sausage, corn, cheddar cheese, and onions, then topped with two eggs and a chipotle hollandaise sauce. It’s savory, spicy, and absolutely delicious — the kind of dish you take one bite of and immediately know you’ll be back for again.
Next up was the Stuffed French Toast, filled with coconut cream and topped with a strawberry and blueberry compote. The coconut cream was smooth, rich, and a little tropical — it gave this southern breakfast a fun island twist. This was a clear winner for me.
We also tried the Cheese Blintz, which are cream cheese-filled crepes topped with berry compote. They were good, but I personally wished for a stronger cream cheese flavor to balance the sweetness. Still, if you like a lighter crepe, it’s a lovely choice.
And then there was the hash brown casserole — crispy, cheesy perfection. This was easily one of my favorite sides in Gatlinburg. Pair it with the crispy bacon and you’ve got a combination worth dreaming about.

A three-hour walking food tour through Old Town Key West that functioned as breakfast, lunch, and my new personality.
The Secret Food Tour hits five stops... and no, I’m not telling you where because discovering them is genuinely part of it. What I will tell you: the mutton snapper fish tacos with key lime mustard sauce were the dish I kept thinking about for days. There was also key lime pie involved at some point, which should surprise no one.
Our guide Deanna was excellent! She mixed local history and food stories in a way that felt like being shown around by someone who actually lives there rather than following a checklist. The group was small, the pacing was easy, and by the end I was completely full and slightly sad it was over.

If you’re doing a Netherlands tulip trip and renting a car, staying directly in Amsterdam might actually be working against you…
We stayed at Hotel Heemskerk it’s on a historic estate outside the city, quieter than I expected, and about 20-30 minutes from the tulip fields. Free parking included, which after seeing Amsterdam parking prices felt genuinely exciting in a way I’m not embarrassed about. @hotelheemskerk worked really well as a base for exploring northern Holland without fighting city traffic every single morning.

I planned to spend maybe an hour at a cheese farm outside Amsterdam and left several hours later with an engraved clog birdhouse, way too much cheese, and a strong opinion on 1.5-year aged Gouda.
Clara Maria Cheese Farm near Amstelveen does a free cheese and clog demonstration that was genuinely one of my favorite things from the entire Netherlands trip. The farm is over 160 years old, the people running it are wonderful, and the tour guide Delo was hilarious in a way I was not prepared for.
A few things that surprised me: Dutch cheese gets its golden color naturally from beta carotene in cow’s milk. The entire cheese-making process is still done largely by hand pressed, flipped, salt-soaked, and hand-waxed before aging even starts. And Americans (myself included) have been pronouncing Gouda wrong our whole lives. It’s closer to “HOW-da.” I understand this now and will still panic and say it wrong anyway.
We tried about ten cheeses ranging from fresh to 20 years aged. The 20-year was aggressively pungent, think concentrated smelly feet... but the 1.5-year was perfect. We also met the cows. Honestly the whole thing was a lot more personal than I expected from a tourist stop.

There’s a little cottage tucked inside a forest just south of Amsterdam that serves giant Dutch pancakes, and somehow I ended up there on a bike ride with no plan and left completely obsessed. 🥞
Boerderij Meerzicht is inside Amsterdamse Bos, Amsterdam’s massive outdoor park full of biking trails, canals, deer, and families spending the whole afternoon outside. It doesn’t feel like a tourist spot. It feels like something locals actually go to, which is exactly why I liked it.
Dutch pancakes are nothing like American pancakes. They’re huge, thin, somewhere between a crepe and a flapjack, and the toppings cover the whole thing. The honest caveat: the ordering system is slightly confusing at first because pancakes are ordered separately from everything else. Watch one other table do it and suddenly it all makes sense.
I got the apple pancake with cinnamon and powdered sugar, and it was exactly what I wanted. Also got the savory bacon, apple, and syrup combination, which sounds wrong and tasted very right.

The tulip fields in the Netherlands look exactly like the photos, except the photos don’t capture how massive the color blocks actually are stretching across the countryside. Or the windmills. Or the sheep randomly standing in the middle of everything like they don’t know they’re in the most photogenic country on earth.
The honest caveat: tulip season moves fast, the fields rotate every year, and peak bloom is not a guarantee, it depends on the weather, the harvest schedule, and a little bit of luck. But that’s also part of what makes it feel less like a tourist attraction and more like something you actually found.
