I waited tables and bartended to get through college with a little extra spending money, now with the economy being shot to hell, I’ve got to wait tables again but this time it’s to pay the bills. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not putting down life long “professional” servers, but when you’re working for someone who still hosts house parties, with everyone doing keg stands, you wonder why you’re the one waiting tables and they’ve got the “real” job.
I’m not bitter because I have to wait tables again, but I might be a little bitter because I have to work for someone that acts less professional than I do. I’ve worked at restaurants since I was in high school, so I know how it goes. The managers aren’t supposed to be out partying with the staff, but they do. I get that. But there gets to be a point when it’s just too much.

So Mt. Pleasant isn’t exactly Downtown Charleston, but close enough. If you can break away from Downtown for a night, I suggest heading over to Samos on Coleman Blvd in Mt Pleasant. It’s a Greek restaurant that has a tapas menu and a full dinner menu. It’s perfect for going out with a group of friends, having a bottle (or 3) of wine and grabbing some inexpensive aps for a great night. When the weather is warm enough, make sure you call ahead and get a seat outside, it’s pretty close to perfect! And the food will keep you coming back for more!

Relationships aren’t easy. They shouldn’t be. For a relationship to be successful it’s got to be a constant work in progress. When it gets to be too easy and the relationship starts to turn south, it seems like now more than ever people are giving open relationships a try. Why? Hell if I know. I am not a fan of open relationships in the least bit. For so many reasons I think that open relationships are a ridiculous way to prolong an already dead relationship. Here are my reasons why if you’re in an open relationship you should just close the door and move on.

I love Thai food just as much as I love sushi! Back home in Charleston, we had the greatest Thai restaurant on the planet - Basil! Moving to Charlotte was kind of depressing because I knew that if I wanted to get some great Thai food I was probably going to have to make a trip home for the weekend. Well … I was driving down 5th Street one day and on the corner of 5th And Church I saw a sign in the window that said Basil opening soon! After doing a little bit of research I learned that my most favorite restaurant in the world was also moving to Charlotte!

It’s no secret that I love sushi and if it were up to me, I would eat it all day, every day. When I got to Charlotte my first order of business was to find a sushi bar. After a few suggestions, my boyfriend and I stumbled upon Nikko’s on South. And what can I say, it was love at first bite!

The Grammys always seem like more of a party than an actual awards show to me. Half of the people at the show don’t actually sing, they just go to the Grammys for a little more publicity. The Grammys are always a blast to watch though! Read the rest of this entry »
