  • Roscoe’s House Chicken N Waffles

    Restaurant: Roscoe’s House Chicken N Waffles

    Where: California

    By: Cece Hymes

    Finally got a chance to go to LA. Wow what a site to see. Everyone always talks about when you go to LA make sure to go to visit Roscoe’s. They say that the chicken and waffles was so good, something like how Gladys Knight Chicken and Waffle was.

    Roscoe’s House of Chicken N Waffles is a soul food restaurant founded by Herb Hudson in 1975. It became famous because Hudson was friends in Motown and T.V. who spread the word to other celebrities.

    So, I finally experienced the place. Now the chicken was banging. The chicken was really good and the waffles were, but waffle house waffles is better. I got two sides when I went. Now those sides were not hitting on anything. Like the saying goes, you better stick with what they are famous for.

    It’s a big hype about Roscoe’s but they definitely need to season their sides more especially because it’s like soul food and a lot of people go visit.

    Glad to experience the food and the hype again. The chicken was very good and I cannot take that away from them. So, if you ever are in LA make sure to experience it.  Everyone loves chicken. This is a great place to go for chicken.

  • Survive the Night (Book)


    Book: Survive the night

    Author: Riley Sager

    By: Cece Hymes

    This Book was really good. I enjoyed it. It was about a movie-obsessed college student Charlie who is in a car with a stranger who she thinks might be a serial killer. The man is a virtual stranger who she thinks goes to school where she is at. Charlie is trying to get away from a guilt and grief over a murder of her friend.

    While Charlie is in the car, she keeps thinking of movies she can’t tell whether she zoned out into a movie or is this real life. She tries to think so hard if her mind is playing tricks with her or is this really the serial killer.  The driver says things here and there to make her think that he definitely is the campus killer.

    Things take the wrong turn and things start to hit the fan as she plans her escape and also her revenge for her friend. She misses her friend a lot.

    Would you even get in a car with a stranger if you knew the serial killer was out there? Why doesn’t she have a cellphone like everyone else does? If you watch so many movies can you turn everything into movie themes? Would that be cool or scary? I just would be so scared to try to survive the night thinking I might die tonight.

    Just some things to think about. I enjoyed this book. If you like a good thriller with some action this is the book for you. 

  • Clearwater Beach FL

    Clearwater Beach FL

    By: Cece Hymes

    This was the first time I been to Clearwater beach Fl. It was a Birthday Trip/Vacation. It was much needed. The water was so beautiful the weather was nice. I wish I would have stayed a little longer. We were able to do a couple of events on our short trip.

    We experience the Encounters with the Dolphins. We were able to see the Mama and baby dolphin just out of the water a couple of times which was amazing. It was nice to here about the different people that owned the beach houses and mansions. The Tour Guide was amazing and was a comedian which made the ride very much better. We stopped at a small island just to relax and enjoy the sight-seeing. A lot of great Seashells so pretty. We really enjoyed this.

    The next experience we did was the Escape Room on Clearwater Beach. Now this was great, it makes it better when you have a group. We did the Davinci Exhibit room. It was hard but we got through it. You get an hour to try to open up on the locks. This was really a fun game. We had 5 people and it feels like are we smarter than an 8th greater we all were lost sometimes like what. We got more clues than we needed but hey sometimes you gotta do what you got to do.

    We enjoyed the Live music at Shephard’s Beach hotel. The food was great, the drinks were on point and the music was really fun. It felt good outside just to be able to relax and enjoy some great music with a mixed crowd. This was really nice.

    This trip was much needed cant wait to go back it was some other things I would love to try and enjoy. Make sure to check out Clearwater beach a lot of things to do whether you with friends or family very relaxing.

  • Bahama Breeze in Duluth GA

    Restaurant: Bahama Breeze

    City/State: Duluth GA

    By: Cece Hymes

    Some friends and I went to this place this week for my Birthday dinner. This place is very nice. They have a Live band on the weekend, but they did not have it on a Monday. Wish they would have at least had some light music playing outside. So, we played our own music very lightly, so we did not have to disturb anyone.

    Now the food was good I got the Shrimp and Lobster Pasta. It’s a very good serving. I also got a frozen drink. I can’t remember the name of it but will show the picture. Now the customer service was good and didn’t have any problems.

    Let me go back if you do not know what Bahama Breeze it’s like an island grille restaurant is.  It offers burgers, salads, Seafood, pasta foods like that.

    So, in the scenario some of the guys paid with cash maybe was due 3 to 5 dollars cash back. The waitress just automatically made it her tip and did not ask did you want your change or anything. I feel like she should have asked you never know they might want to give you more than that and now you settled for that but not offering or what if they wanted, they money.  I know that waitresses earn their living by tips, but should they just assume because it’s small to keep it for a tip? It wasn’t my money but if it was, I would have wanted my change. Let me give what I want, don’t just assume without asking.  

    If you haven’t tried this place definitely check it out.
