I’ve written before about my mom’s practice of sending newspaper clippings. (By the way, now that my work is being published more, I’ve started returning the favor!) One of the articles she sent in her last weighs-a-million-pounds envelope (love you Mom!) was about a brewery that had moved into a vacated craft store in my […]
Review
Hidden Gem | Lucky City
A funny thing has happened with our Hidden Gem visits. What started as a Shannah-curated list has snowballed. Not a week goes by when I don’t receive an email from someone with a suggestion for a future visit. That’s how Steve and I found ourselves eating lunch at Lucky City. Click here to read our […]
Hidden Gem: Fadias
Steve and I had one of my favorite Hidden Gem visits the other month when we stopped in at Fadia’s Deli and Bakery. The owner sat with us and chatted throughout our meal – I left feeling so humbled to live in such a friendly city, full of diverse and interesting people who are willing […]
Hidden Gem: Paesano’s
Steve and I headed back into Plano to find another Hidden Gem to share with the readers of Plano Profile. We found our next gem just a few blocks from the office: Paesano’s Ristorante. Read our full review here.
Night Out on 15th

Kentucky: Good Eats
I’d be lying if I didn’t confess that part of our enjoyment in travelling is finding great local places to eat. Although we didn’t have a lot of time in Kentucky, here are some great local finds from our snowy week in the state. Turtlelini’s | Horse Cave, Kentucky When you’re driving from Lexington to […]
Dinner at Whiskey Cake
I love Whiskey Cake – both the dessert and the restaurant where I first enjoyed it. After I had lunch there for the first time several years ago, I knew I had to come back with Kelly. It’s just a shame that it took four years to find a time to go together! The menu […]
For You, Taste of Poland
Who knew that Polish food has so many commonalities with German and Russian food? (Maybe anyone who thinks carefully about the back-and-forth history of Eastern Europe.) Even so, I found the food at Plano’s For You, Taste of Poland to be both delicious and familiar – just what I like in homestyle comfort food. But […]
