Scary places to eat

ANNOUNCER: All in all, the term hole-in-the-wall has a fairly decent reputation — meaning plenty of people are willing to look past the, shall we say, limited décor and sample the food. I’d venture to say that most people know of one less desirable place that might turn their stomachs

Pig out at Dickerson's

ANNOUNCER: Note to those from the South: we aren’t saying barbecue in the Northwest compares to what you cut your teeth on in the southern states; we know what barbecue snobs you can be. However, compared to say barbecue you pick up at the grocery store, there are some decent

ANNOUNCER: There is nothing that stands out about Maresol on Bridgeport Way in Lakewood other than next door sits a teriyaki joint with the brightest yellow awning in the county — you can’t miss that.

Rising to the occasion

ANNOUNCER: Lakewood may not be known for its quaint restaurants, but slowly, a few pioneers are beginning to change that. Last spring the boys reviewed Café Chagall, and this week they bring The Moon Rise Café to the attention of the masses. With a down home feel, fresh ingredients and
