Musings from a foodie…

Even though I often talk about upscale restaurants, my favorites are diners.  Those are the places where the ambiance is simple, the servers “real” and tastes bring you back to your childhood.  I recently found one of those places in Tucson, Arizona at Bobo’s Restaurant [ * * * * * ].  When I sat down, the gent sitting at the table next to me starting chatting away.  He had moved to Tucson from “away” any number of years ago and told me that he visited Bobo’s at least 2 – 3 times per week.  When I asked what was good on the menu, he responded “Everything”.  That’s always the good sign of a good diner or a fabulous greasy spoon.  If you go to Yelp, you’ll find that the frequent flyers rave about the place.  While I did not have a chance to try everything on the menu, over the next six months, I’m going to give it my best shot.  My first chance at Bobo’s will not be last – rest assured.  The staff are great along with the customers.  And, the owner is the cook at the stove.  Everything one could ever ask of a friendly, local diner.  If you’re close to Tucson, check it out: Bobo’s Restaurant - 2938 E. Grant Road – Tucson, AZ 85716 – (520) 326-6163
