Just had the most incredible dinner at Bombay Darbar in Fort Lauderdale and wow my taste buds are still doing a happy dance. From start to finish everything was on another level.

The samosas were crispy little pockets of perfection. Out of this world flavor with just the right spice. Honestly if they sold these by the dozen I would have walked out with a suitcase full. The garlic naan was soft fluffy and buttery with that perfect garlicky bite that makes you forget your manners and grab another piece before anyone else does.

Then came the butter chicken and I am not exaggerating when I say it might be one of the best dishes I have ever eaten. Creamy rich and bursting with flavor. Every bite was pure comfort and magic at the same time. You could taste the love in it.

The atmosphere was just as amazing. Vibrant colorful and full of life. It felt like a mini vacation in the middle of Las Olas. And let me tell you about Sofia our server. She was absolutely phenomenal. Funny charming and totally on point with everything. She made our experience unforgettable.

Great food great service great vibes and prices that make it the best deal on Las Olas. Hands down this is my new go to spot when I want something that hits every note perfectly.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I am officially addicted to Bombay Darbar.

Feeling extremely lucky today and want to share why. I heard a piece by Alan Watts on YouTube, I will share link in comment below 👇 if you want to have a listen. It is entitled “Living With No Purpose”

I chuckled when I read the title but absolutely love Alan and his work and listened even though I thought it odd.

This 15 min video changed my life completely and make 💯 sense.

I constantly rush through life trying to get to the other side, but what about each moment??? They slip by like water through the fingers. Today I am living for the right now. To enjoy each moment life brings me. I can’t explain it like only Alan can, so if you want more info give it a listen.

But basically I used to travel down the road, today I know I am the road 💫

Chef Paul here at one of my favorite local spots in Rogers Arkansas, Michoacana Ice Cream Shop - Rogers Let me tell you something, this place is straight up scoop heaven 🍦

They make all of their ice cream from scratch right here in the shop. I am talking creamy dreamy ice cream so smooth it could run for office. Every scoop tastes like joy in frozen form. These gourmet ice cream bars look like they belong in a museum, but they are right here in Rogers ready for you to devour.

Now let us talk about the food. The flautas are unreal. Crispy golden outside, tender pulled chicken inside, and packed with flavor that will make you rethink every snack you ever loved. One bite and I knew I was in trouble because I wanted ten more.

This place is a party for your taste buds. The drinks are colorful and fun, the desserts are next level, and the vibe just makes you happy to be alive.

If happiness had a flavor, it would taste like Michoacana. I came for the ice cream and stayed because the flautas made me fall in love. One visit and you will be cone fused why you ever went anywhere else.

So if you are anywhere near Rogers Arkansas, stop in and grab yourself a scoop or three. Tell them Chef Paul sent you, and get ready to chill in the sweetest way possible 🍨

Lately I have been doing a lot of thinking out here on the farm. The quiet has a way of making you listen, not just to the wind or the animals, but to yourself. I started this journey with so much fire for food, for flavor, for sharing every bite and every story behind it. Somewhere along the way the noise of it all got louder than the reason I started.

But standing here this morning I remembered that food is not just what is on the plate. It is the soil, the sweat, the patience, the people. It is what connects us.

Maybe this next chapter is not about chasing something new, but slowing down enough to feel what has been here all along.

From the farm, with flavor

Just had to share my experience at The Sloop in Gulf Shores Alabama because this Philly cheesesteak absolutely blew me away.

They let you choose from three types of cheese — provolone, American, or cheese whiz — and I went with the whiz to keep it authentic to how they do it in Philly. Best decision ever. The meat was juicy, perfectly seasoned, and the onions, peppers, and mushrooms were diced up and mixed right in so every single bite had that perfect combo of flavor.

It also comes with house made potato chips that are crunchy and salty and honestly just make the whole meal complete. I took my three year old with me and it was a great family friendly spot. They usually have live music out back and the whole place just has that laid back Gulf Shores vibe.

My wife got the Philly cheesesteak eggrolls and she absolutely loved them. Crispy on the outside, cheesy and savory on the inside — total win.

If you are anywhere near Gulf Shores, do yourself a favor and stop by The Sloop. Get the Philly cheesesteak with cheese whiz. You will thank me later.

If you are anywhere near Gulf Shores and you love a good Philly cheesesteak, you absolutely have to stop by The Sloop I cannot say enough about how good this sandwich was. I went with the cheese whiz because that’s how the real ones in Philly are traditionally made and I am so glad I did. The flavor combination was perfect. The meat was juicy and tender, the cheese was creamy and melted perfectly through every bite, and the grilled onions, mushrooms, and peppers brought the whole thing together in the best way possible.

It also comes with homemade potato chips that are just next level. You can tell they were made fresh and they have that perfect balance of crunch and salt that makes you want to keep eating even after you are full. I also tried the Philly eggrolls and those were a total hit with my wife. Crispy on the outside, loaded with the same savory Philly cheesesteak filling inside, they nailed it.

The atmosphere is exactly what you want in a local Gulf Shores spot. It has that cool laid back dive bar vibe where everyone feels welcome. They have live music out back most nights and the place sits right under the bridge which makes it a fun and easy stop whether you are coming off the water or just exploring town.

As for the value, the pricing is awesome. Ten bucks for the 5 1/4 inch sandwich or eighteen bucks for the big 11 1/2 inch version and trust me every penny is worth it. I went for the full size and did not regret it for a second. It is one of those meals that just hits all the right notes. Hearty, flavorful, and made with care.

If you are in Gulf Shores, do yourself a favor and grab a Philly at The Sloop. You will not be disappointed.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Star Review for Zeke's Restaurant in Orange Beach Alabama

If you are in the Gulf Shores or Orange Beach area and craving amazing seafood with a view, Zeke’s is an absolute must visit. We had such a great experience from start to finish.

We sat outside right by the water and the atmosphere was perfect. Relaxing, family friendly, and full of that coastal breeze that just makes everything taste better. The service was great and our server had some excellent recommendations.

To start, we ordered the calamari and wow it was out of this world. Perfectly crispy, tender inside, and served with a fun slightly spicy marinara sauce that really kicked it up a notch. If you are ordering it for kids, I recommend asking for the sauce on the side since it does have a little heat.

For the kids, we got the fried shrimp and the fried fish and they absolutely loved both. My seven year old daughter even went for the Brussels sprouts as her side and she could not stop talking about how good they were. Really really really good.

My wife had the scallops which were perfectly cooked. Sweet, tender, and beautifully seared. I went with the blackened Cobia and it was one of the best fish dishes I have had in a long time. Our server suggested pairing it with the whipped red mashed potatoes and I am so glad I listened. They were smooth, flavorful, and a perfect match for the fish.

Even though I was not drinking that night, I enjoyed an ice cold nonalcoholic Heineken which paired surprisingly well with the seafood.

All in all, Zeke’s nailed it from food to atmosphere to service. Whether you are visiting with family or looking for a nice date night spot by the water, you will love it here. We will definitely be back next time we are in town.

Dinner at was everything we hoped for and more. 🍽️✨

We sat outside by the water with the ocean breeze coming in and it was pure perfection. The food was incredible from start to finish.

We kicked things off with the calamari — crispy, tender, and served with a slightly spicy marinara that took it to another level. (If you have little ones, get the sauce on the side!)

The kids devoured their fried shrimp and fried fish, and my daughter shocked us all by ordering Brussels sprouts… and loving them! 🙌

My wife had the scallops that were sweet, buttery, and perfectly seared. I went with the blackened Cobia and it was phenomenal. The server suggested the whipped red mashed potatoes on the side and they were spot on.

Even enjoyed an ice cold nonalcoholic Heineken while taking in that sunset view. 🌅

Zeke’s has the perfect mix of amazing food, good vibes, and coastal charm. Highly recommend if you are in the Gulf Shores or Orange Beach area!
