Last Saturday I was beyond excited to see The Hunger Games!
I went with my boyfriend, Mike, and we ran into a couple of my girlfriends…which is always exciting! Personally, I was completely satisfied with the films rendition of the novel. It’s hard to recreate every detail word for word, but what the directors chose to omit was not missed! If you have yet to see this film- GO!
After the movie, we were trying to decide where to go for dinner- Mike insisted on pancakes, but we wanted to go somewhere other than our usual diner. I sent out a tweet asking if anyone knew of any great pancake spots in our area…
Twitter can be a really useful tool…not only did I find a great spot to get late night pancakes, I ALSO found a new blow dry bar that will be opening in West Hartford! Thank you, Stacey!
We decided to go to Dish N’ Dat, seeing as it wasn’t too far away, and what a cute little spot it was. I can’t believe I’ve never been! You walk in and there is this huge wall of spoons…
The restaurant was basically a fun twist on a traditional diner.
So we sit down, and start looking through the ginormous menu…I literally wanted to eat everything, something about a diner menu…
Everything sounded so good. We started with an order of Fried Mac & Cheese balls, neither of us had ever had them…
They were so darn delicious, that I had to stop myself from eating half the plate. I’d really be curious to see how they’re made…
So dinner came out soon after- I went with their eggs benedict (guilty pleasure) their rendition had spinach in it as well…basically eggs florentine. Even better 🙂
Mike ended up ordering this crazy burger (so much for pancakes!)
It was a burger topped with pulled pork, bacon, cheese and lord knows what else. That was just a little too much meat for me…but he loved it!
It was definitely a fun place! I can’t wait to go back…next time we’ll have to order pancakes 😉
