Our Follower Appreciation Gift Card Giveaway was flagged as going against community rules. Basically it was flagged as a money scam because at the end of the video I said that I would appreciate any shares. Oh well, Let's move on! Since my videos were not being pushed, here are the ones that you may have missed.
Crazy 8's Grill & BBQ
My followers told me to stop by Crazy 8's BBQ & Grill , in Casey, Illinois for some great BBQ. We stopped by but while the bbq was excellent, I think the Pit beans stole the show. Posted on the evening of 7/19/26, it was the first review to get hit by our restriction.
Pinky's
I recently traveled to Effingham, Illinois and stopped by Pinky's, right on the banks of Lake Sara where my followers told me that both the food and the beach vibes were amazing. We started off with their famous nachos and then I went with the bacon jam burger and fries. Wow! Review was posted on 7/22/26
Voyagers Coffee
On a recent road trip into Illinois we stumbled across this little coffee shop called Voyagers Coffee in Robinson, Illinois. Wow, what a neat and clean little place plus it serves ice cream too. Posted 7/23/26
Smokin' a Chub
Smokin' a chub on the Big Green Egg has been on my to do list since I got it. Those toasted smoked bologna sandwiches made it all worth while. I seasoned it with a combo of Linneweber's Sauce Company 's Cajun & Honey BBQ seasoning and added a Sweet Baby Ray's & pineapple glaze to top it off. Posted 7/24/26
Niemerg's Steakhouse
My followers told me to tryout Niemerg's Steakhouse & Brass Rail Lounge in Effingham, Illinois where they are known for their made from scratch food. We were in the area for breakfast and decided to give it a whirl. Posted 7/26/26
The Hornet's Nest
We traveled down to Evansville, Indiana where my followers told me that I had to give the Hornet's Nest Restaurant and Bar a whirl. I went with the cajun catfish, juicy fried chicken, and a delicious made from scratch bread pudding. Posted 8/02/26
Crazy Good Smoked Pork Steak
I recently had a small sample of Crazy 8's BBQ & Grill 's ( Casey, Illinois) pork steak and wanted to recreate it at home by smoking some on my Big Green Egg. I grabbed some of the Crazy 8's seasoning from Bassemier's Fireplace Patio & Spas in Evansville, Indiana. Check out our bbq birthday spread. Posted 8/03/
Fleig's Cafe
I recently was driving through Ferdinand, Indiana and came across Fleig's Cafe'. They had a pretty amazing mural on their build, so I stopped in for some breakfast. I had a half order of biscuits & gravy, a fried bologna sandwich with egg, and a coffee all for under $9. Posted 8/05/26
The Cafe Moonlight
Pork belly sliders, that's what lured me back in to The Cafe Moonlight in Vincennes, Indiana. Now this is what I call a double dip and that's where I go back to a place for another review because I either missed something great the first time or they have something new that I have to try. Posted 8/06/26
Main's Bakery
My followers have been trying to get me to stop in Main's Bakery in Huntingburg, Indiana for some time. I finally made it there to give their donuts a whirl. Check out the size of their apple fritter! Posted 8/07/26
Cleavers
Should tenderloin sandwiches be long and rectangular! My followers told me to stop by Cleavers in Evansville, Indiana. I stopped by and gave their bread pork tenderloin a whirl. Posted 8/09/26
Kate's Cafe
I recently traveled down to Evansville, Indiana where followers told me to give Kate's Cafe a whirl. I started out with Lumpia, had their house fried chicken for my main entrée, and ended with ube for dessert. Posted 8/12/26
Gabby Goat
I recently traveled to Effingham, Illinois where my followers told me that the Gabby Goat American Pub & Grill was a must try. Choosing what to try from so many awesome options was a tough decision but I went with the Southwest Rangoons, the Monty Big Pig sandwich. posted 8/13/26
Backstreet Pizza
My followers told me to stop by Backstreet Pizza in Sullivan, Indiana to give them a whirl. I went with a small 7", 3 topping pizza for $8.50 and their 1/2 Superclub sandwich with fries & a pickle spear for $8.50. Which one would you have chosen? posted 8/16/26
Darmstadt Inn
Would you eat a brain sandwich? My followers told me to stop by Darmstadt Inn in Darmstadt, Indiana where they have a jumbo brain sandwich. I also had their open face roast beef, I call it a beef manhatten, and their bread pudding. Posted 8/19/26
Patsy Harigan's Irish Pub
I recently stopped in at Patsy Hartigan's Irish Pub in Evansville, Indiana to try out some fish n chips, shepherd's pie, and Jameson bread pudding. Posted 8/20/26
Moonshine Store
I've been told since I started doing reviews that I needed to stop by and try a burger at the Moonshine Store in Moonshine, Illinois (official address is Martinsville, Illinois). I finally made a trip and I wasn't disappointed. Posted 8/22/26
