Chicago Taste

August 19, 2008 | 2:16 pm

A quick Sunday out provided us a bit of shopping and a chance to get out of the house… Knowing that being out and about usually involves finding a place to eat, the drive up and down Manchester in Ballwin provided us an opportunity to view a large white truck with the words “Gyros” on the side.

Mmmmm… Gyros.

Thankfully I haven’t met an gyro that I haven’t like but upon pulling into the parking stall in front of the restaurant - we got a bit worried… Nobody inside and handmade signs in the windows. But heck - we hardly try anything new and they did have gyros. What the heck… We went inside, but paid with cash! LOL

With minimal expectations on quality eating - I have to say we were both really delighted with our gyros… It’s always nice to be surprised… Now - this isn’t a steak house or anything… But with Philly steak sandwiches, burgers, dogs - and gyros… for a decent price (and decent fries!) - we’ll surely make a trip back when our adventures take us down Manchester…

Free Coffee & Baked Goods

August 08, 2008 | 11:00 am

Strangely enough - it seems as though I’m getting quite a few opportunities for woman in police “uniforms”. Another WTF:

A Chicago police officer has been suspended for 15 months for demanding free coffee and baked goods from six different Starbucks.

Officer Barbara Nevers, a 14-year veteran, has also been ordered to undergo counseling.

The Police Board ruled in May that 55-year-old Nevers intimidated Starbucks employees by screaming at them and flashing her badge, handcuffs or gun when they wanted her to pay. The board released its findings Thursday.

Nevers’ attorney says her client never used her job to demand coffee. She says some coffeehouses gave it to her for free because she was an officer.
