Where I've Had Lunch (So Far)

One of the most common questions I get is, “Where have you been so far?” — so here it is. This is the list of places I’ve visited and featured in video content up to this point in the journey.

What started as a fun hobby has grown into something much bigger than I ever imagined, giving me the chance to explore local restaurants, try new menu items, and meet the amazing people behind the places that make our food scene special. From longtime favorites to hidden gems and new spots around town, every visit has been part of the adventure.

I love supporting local businesses and I’m always thankful for the recommendations that come in from followers — many of the places on this list were suggested by you. If you’re looking for somewhere new to try, this list is a great place to start.

Let’s Have Lunch.
