I’ve Asked My 11-Year-Old to Make Dinner Once a Week – Here’s How It’s Going
I saw a TikTok recently where a woman stands at her front door, and the caption reads, "Let me introduce you to our house staff." She proceeds to show herself cleaning toilets and making beds. The caption read, "The Maid." Then, it did a jump cut to her driving the kids around, and the caption was, "The Chauffeur." She was the nanny, referee, the accounts payable and receivable person, and of course, the chef.

Did You Know This KY Restaurant is the Birthplace of the Cheeseburger?
There's nothing better than a good ole cheeseburger! It also happens to be something that we as Kentuckians can be proud of. Just like fried chicken and bourbon,. While the exact origin is disputed amongst historians, many believe that a restaurant in Kentucky in the birthplace of the cheeseburger.

The One Where Jennifer Aniston Visited Quincy Illinois
Several famous people have visited Quincy and the Tri-State area, but no one is as popular as everyone's favorite friend Jennifer Aniston. Do you remember this?

Take a ‘Bite’ Out of Nashville at The Shark Bait Pop-Up Bar
While denizens of Panama City Beach are dealing with bull shark issues, residents and tourists in Nashville are having an easier time with their shark experiences. It's no secret that Music City has all but cornered the market on unique bar-hopping experiences; you can't throw a dart on Lower Broadway, for example, without hitting one. Whether it's owned by a country music superstar--there are TONS of 'em--or it has an unusual theme, Nashville will satisfy this specific need.
Some People Do What With Wildlife Hit and Killed?
Yes, we're going there because we've all wondered what happens to roadkill if you will. The second I see the furry lump on the side of the road I try and look away because I feel sad for those fuzzy wild animals. In my mind if I don't see them then I won't picture Bambi or the fluffy-tailed fox getting hit.
This Popular Tennessee Museum Celebrates Salt and Pepper Shakers
As a big fan of museums, I've planned road trips around visiting them. They never have to be very long trips, either; none of us is ever VERY far away from one. Learning the history--biological, physical, geographical, political--of any location fascinates me to no end. But there are also less traditional museums that pique my interest and sometimes even more so than what I would find in your typical museum of science and history.
Blind Taste Test Reveals Best Fast Food Chicken Sandwich
Not all chicken sandwiches are created equal. This is what a blind taste test of the most popular brands revealed. Recently, two of my good friends and myself were on a trip together and decided to seek out the best fast food chicken sandwich among seven different well-known chains. While I realize this isn't a normal vacation trend, it was a question we each wanted to answer. After spending about two hours driving back and forth across town, we acquired chicken sandwiches from seven well-known chains for the blind taste test. It's safe to say we each had some drive-thru fatigue.
Four Reasons Gas Stations in the Same Area Have Different Prices
I was on fumes and had no choice but to fill-up at the first gas station I saw because I kept pushing it. Why didn't I just fill-up immediately when I left for work instead of getting on the road first?. So I pull into a Shell station and my...

America’s Longest Running Bluegrass Festival Returns to Indiana
The 59th Annual Bill Monroe's Bean Blossom Bluegrass Festival kicks off today with bands on stage through Saturday. My family is full of bluegrass pickers, so I grew up listening to many of them play tunes by Doc Watson, Bill Monroe, Norman Blake, Tony Rice, Larry Sparks, and several others. I still go back and listen to songs like "Church Street Blues," "Sitting on top of the World," and "John Deere Tractor," when on a long road trip or after a hard day. Those notes filled a good part of my childhood and even sparked my interest in country music as a whole.
