Food & Drink

It's not full-on sit-down dining, but it's not fast food either. Fast-casual restaurants offer higher quality food than the local fast food joint; but still get it to you fast, even if it costs a little more.

When it comes to food I am so fussy with expiration dates, if it says it expires tomorrow I will likely not eat it today, but there are some things I just don't know about, like eggs.

When I I am feeling really adventurous I use the cherry-flavored

I don't live near Old Town anymore; but one restaurant on that side of town I managed to try a couple times (and wanted to try again) was Nordy's. Who doesn't love an all-you-can-eat BBQ buffet, right? Well, unfortunately, I'll never get to go back to the Nordy's Fort Collins location; and neither will anyone else.

Five years ago, if you'd told me I would absolutely love sushi someday, I would have said you were crazy. And yet (thanks to my wife), here I am, super-excited that a new sushi place is coming to the town where I live!
