HOOT AND HOWL - Denver, CO

Today I am writing about my trip to Denver and some of the great places I got to eat at while I was there. There are three restaurants I got to eat at while I was there and one dessert place I got to eat at. I will do the restaurants first. So the first ones name is HOOT AND HOWL. I liked there appetizer of sweet potato fries with the honey butter sea salt dip, but for the main thing I got I liked the giant fish sticks after I had all three sticks I barely ate anything for the rest of the day. Also as a postscript kind of thing kids eat free Monday through Wednesday and there is a cupcake place across the street that I will write about later.

I'm giving Hoot and Howl 5 Stars.

The Clubhouse

I really love this restaurant. It is good for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. On a normal day they have a menu like most places. My Favorite entry for lunch is on the kids menu; it is their chicken fingers. They are not at all like chicken fingers.
	They have the chicken but instead of breading on the outside there is rice crispies. I think it is better than most restaurant’s chicken because it is so unique. My brother, or Mysterious Diner Jr likes the mac and cheese there along with the chicken. Now what I just told you about was only the lunch and dinner portion of the menu there. If you get there on a Sunday morning they will have a buffet. If you ask me it is one of the best in the world. They have the regular breakfast stuff like pancakes, waffles, eggs, or bacon. But then if you are feeling more adventurous they also have stuff like crab claws or salmon.
The last time I was there I had waffles, crab claws, bacon, eggs and for a snack I had these funny little PB&J triangles. One of the best parts of the buffet is the dessert table. They have so many choices like cake or other pastries, but my favorite thing at the table is the chocolate fountain.
	Because it has things to put under it things like strawberries,marshmallows, and pretzel sticks. So if you would like to go to this delectable restaurant go to: TheClubhouse 298 Oakbrook Center, Oak Brook, IL 60523

Aurelio’s

Even though pizza is not my favorite this is my favorite Italian place. Most of the time I get a big plate of noodles with cheese. BUT there best appetizer is the cheese sticks they come in a big basket and are warm and crispy. As I said I get noodles most of the time but they also have great pizza there too and their food is really amazing. They have indoor and outdoor seating.And they also deliver pizza witch is what we did at my party and they got all 12 there piping hot right on time. And they even made 25 hungry nine and ten year old boys happy. Also at the end of dinner there kids will get a sucker. I give this place five out of five stars.

If you want to eat at this amazing place go to:

Yum Kitchen

great french fries

This is a restaurant like no other. You order at a counter up front so you might think it is fast food but NO after that you get to sit down at these great tables. So first you get these great french fries - hot so you know they haven’t been siting around on the counter waiting for you. Now here is the thing, up front where you order it is hard to choose what you want to eat. Of course they have the old back up plans on the kids menu. BUT they also have great fish so if you want something more interesting they have great salmon (which is one of my favorite fishes) they also have a 4 cheese grilled cheese. So you ate a good diner or lunch so it is time for dessert so you go up to the other counter and look at what they have oh my gosh all this mouth watering food.  They have great cupcakes, cookies that are even better then that, oh wait I almost forgot they also have these cookies called ranger cookies that are almost the size of my head! So you eat your yummy treat and you might think it is time to go but if you want to they have a choice of little things like candy beards or bacon scented band aids for later. I give this restaurant five stars out of five stars. I love that place.

Michelangelo’s Deli

This is a great restaurant but since it is my little brother’s favorite I am going to let him do this. This is what he has to say:

“They have good food.  And it’s an awesome place because they have a new type of drink.  And they have an awesome salami sandwich, and you can also get chips and Popsicles.  And, Angelica is an awesome person.  And it’s my favorite place.”

But since my brother always eats the same thing you might also want to know that you can get almost any sandwich you can think of and they also have great salads and chips plus smoothies.

An Interview

While I was at the deli I interviewed an employee named Angelica and a mother named Laurie and her son William so when I type MD it means I am talking if the customer is talking I will type in C.  So scroll down and see the interview:

MD: What is your favorite meal here

C:  For drinks we like the diet coke and raspberry ice tea and for the main meal I like the ham mini with lettuce, tomato, onion, with Italian dressing, and French bread. For Dessert I like the short bread cookies.

MD: In total for every thing here in a 1 to 20 scale what would you give this place?

C: 18

Wildwood

This is one of my all time favorite restaurants hands down any where in the world.  OK, there are two times when this restaurant is the best.  First Sunday brunch and second is dinner any time for any reason. So let’s start with how great brunch is. Ok, so the brunch was a for sure family thing. For your main course you can get pancakes and other breakfast stuff. Often I get the blueberry pancakes. They are kind of big and you get two of them. Now before you order breakfast you get beignets.  In case you don’t know what they are they are like doughnuts covered in powdered sugar. P.S. they also have great eggs. Now let’s talk about dinner. For dinner there it is MAINLY fishes and other meats. Most of the time I get chicken.  Often of the time the chicken comes with mashed potatoes. Now it is time for dessert they have good cake and ice cream that is even better.  I love this restaurant and I give it five out of five stars!!!!!!!!

If you want to eat at this great restaurant drive,walk, and even fly to ...
