The Maryland State Fair 2011

I went to the Maryland State Fair with my grandma, papap, mommy, daddy, brother Owen, and sister Olivia. I know I've done a review of this before, though it is about a complaint, which comes in a little later.

When I got to the food stop, I decided to try some lamb. This is the first time I had lamb. They had lamb wraps and a lamb sandwich. I got a BBQ lamb sandwich, since I love BBQ, and one time I went to the State Fair and decided to get my sandwich without BBQ sauce and it tasted too dry. It was delicious! It was juicy and had a big BBQ flavor, though it was so big that I didn't taste any of the lamb. Luckily my papap got a lamb sandwich and said I could try a piece of his. It did taste like chicken, though it was too dry.

Then later for dessert, I got some ice cream. The lady which sold the tickets said a baby cone was about 2 or 3 inches, though my dad and papap said it would have a big amount of ice cream on top, though when I got it, it had two melon ball scoops. I had gotten the flavor of the day, which was Brooms Bloom dirt, but it just tasted like chocolate ice cream, when I thought it was going to have chocolate and brownie chunks in it. And they where selling them at $2.00! My grandma said that she got half a gallon of ice cream at the grocery store for the same price! I give *** stars for food and *** stars for kid friendly.

Here is my thoughts. They should rename the cone sizes. The smallest size should be diet, medium should be kids size, large should me medium, and they should make a large. And they need to change the prices. It should go up one dollar each, so diet should be $1.00, kids size should be two dollars, medium should be three dollars, and $4.00 for large. Well, that's all. Bye!

Gino's

I went to the new Gino's in Towson. When I got there, there was a line, like all the other days they've been open. Though the other day we went and even though there wasn't a line, the girl outside said it was a 1 hour and 15 minute wait. My dad told me there wasn't a line because they kept it inside. When we got in, there was a huge TV showing fact's about Gino's history and people standing in line at the cash registers.When I saw the menu, there was no kids menu, though there were kid friendly things like a bacon cheeseburger and a cheeseburger. There was also other things like My Favorite Single Burger, My Favorite Double Burger, and Ameche's Power House. I had a Bacon Cheeseburger JR. because a regular is 2 burger's instead of one. And they even had Chicken like Chicken tenders( what my brother got) and salads like Cob. We also got some French Fries and Onion rings with our meal. We found a table outside, since it was so crowded inside. It took a long time, though when it came, it was worth the wait. When the server brought our food and saw kids she said "Oh they were KIDS meals" but another server said "We are out of kids meals" and a third person said "we don 't have kids meals". They seemed to be a little confused. But now let's go back to the food. The bacon cheeseburger tasted juicy, gooey, and meaty. What I call a fantastic bacon cheeseburger ( probably because I love bacon!)! And with a little vinegar, the french fries tasted delicious! My parents said the onion rings were greasy and looked like they weren't breaded(though I didn't try them). I give *** stars for kid friendly and **** stars for food. Also, there's one more thing I would like to tell you. Even though there sign says they have 1,000 flavors of milk shakes, this Gino's only has four. I found this out by my dad coming in and the person saying they only had four because they had just opened. Well, that's all. Bye!

Miguel's/1st anniversary post

I went to a place in Baltimore called Miguel's for my 1st anniversary post. It was kind of a hidden restaurant because it was at the side of a hotel. When I got in, I saw skeleton's everywhere! I also saw that there was a bar and a jar of fire balls. My mom told me those were for after you ate. And I even saw the Best of Baltimore magazine which I was in. And guess what. They were in it too! When I got seated, I realized that some signs were in Spanish. I looked at the menu and realized that the menu was in Spanish too! The only things that I could read were empanadas and quesadillas! There was no kids menu either. I got a carne asada (steak) empanada and a cheese and chicken quesadilla to share with my brother. While I was waiting, they served chips that were crunchy, which had a spicy salsa which my brother liked. We ordered calamari which was chewy and it came with a creamy sauce instead of a tomato sauce. When it came, there was a squiggle of sour cream on the plate of the quesadilla. It was delicious! The empanada was spicy, meaty, and juicy. The quesadilla was gooey and juicy. I give ***** stars for food and *** stars for kid friendliness. I WAS going to give 2 stars for kid friendly, because of the skeletons. Then I learned that skeletons were a happy decoration during Día de los Muertos in Mexico. The skeletons weren't really that scary anyway. Well, that's all. Bye!
