I was just going to start another post when I looked at the date and realized there was some significance to this day….at least for me.
On this date 18 years ago, we did our first post. Geez, 18 years, perhaps it's time to send the blog off to college, right?
Never in my wildest dreams would I have ever thought we'd still be around 18 years later.
And in typical fashion, I'm really not prepared for this post. So, how about some photos of neighborhood flowers from my walks?
Or maybe some utility box art?
In all seriousness, we'd like to thank each and every one of you, for the visits, comments, emails….the wonderful recommendations! We've had the honor and the privilege of "eating, then writing about it" for 5010 posts now.
Hopefully, we'll have some delici-yoso posts coming up……
The last few years have been sometimes strange and difficult….things have changed so much, but it has made me appreciate more than ever being able to keep up with the blog.
I know I'm not up to date with technology. At some point, I'll have to either get up to date or say goodbye. Hopefully, it will be the former.
Until then….we'll keep rolling along.
Thanks again for helping to keep this little blog going!
Congratulations on your amazing success. It’s a pleasure to not only be a long time reader but to have contributed and become a friend of the blog. To many many more years!
So glad you are still here.
Congrats on 18. I was just at “The fastest Pho in the West” and thought about this site 😀
CONGRATULATIONS!!! Thank you for all that you do!
happy blogaversary looking forward to more of your adventures!
Congrats on your 18th anniversary with many more to come. You will definitely be around for the count as you will be able to roll with technology as well…Thank you for all you do, uh – write/post!!!
Happy Blogbirthday! We certainly have enjoyed many great restaurants based on your posts (and avoided some that deserved to be avoided too!). Blog on amigo.
Congratulations!
Congratulations! Thank you for sharing your adventures. They’ve been an inspiration, and wonderful resource when our travels take us to SD or further abroad.
Congrats on 18 years!
Congratulations on such an amazing milestone – wishing you many more years of stories, insights, and delicious eats!
Congratulations! Although I don’t eat meat and therefore can’t eat many of the dishes you review, I still love to check out the pictures and read your witty commentary. And the travelogues from around the world — and even here in town — are the icing on the cake! Looking forward to many more posts to come!
I appreciate all the comments and emails over the years Loren! Thanks again!

I’m glad you enjoy the travel posts Peter! Now I’ll think of you when we have more “veg-forward” meals!
Congratulations! You’ve been an incredible resource. Thank you for making my very occasional trips to SD more tasty.
18 years is amazing for anything but in the context of food social media is basically an eternity. Thank you for continuing to take the time to keep your blog going. I very much appreciate the reviews, the recipes and the travel adventures. Hoping for many more years to come. Seguimos juntos!
Congrats Kirk! Your blog has been such a comfort for so many of us. What an achievement! We’ll all be here for another 18 years (and more)!
Thank you for all of your thoughtful writing on your tastes and travels, I have enjoyed many of your recommendations. I also really like the searchable aspect so I can find places that I knew I read about before.
What degree will you go for???
Damn, didn’t expect a blog to make me feel old! 😂 I’ve been a fan for most of those 18 years, so thanks for letting my taste buds live vicariously through you and the Missus’ food adventures!
Cheers!
Thanks so much Pam! It’s great to hear from you!

Happy 18th Kirk! I remember first finding your blog when looking up Rickshaw Corner. Yours was the opinion that let me know what places were worth trying and which were worth skipping.
Thank you for all of the great recommendations over the years. Your information has been so spot on. Mahalo & Aloha, I hope someday to say that in person.
Hey, it’s so nice to hear from you MrZ! Hope all is well! Man, Rickshaw Corner…..that was like a zillion years ago!
Thanks so much John. I hope you’re doing well; it’s been a while since I’ve heard from you.
So glad you are still keeping the ol’ blog going! I don’t always comment, but I hope you know I appreciate your posts so much. Thanks for 18 great years of blogging, and cheers to many more to come ^^
Thanks so much Lynnea! Hope all is well and it’s great hearing from you.
I’ve been reading this food blog for many years and look forward to many more years of content! Thanks for sharing your food journeys with everyone.
Happy 18 years!
Thanks for commenting and reading all these years Stephanie!
Thanks ST!
Wow 18 years!!!!! I think I’ve been a faithful follower of your blog pretty much since the beginning although I only comment occasionally (and even though my comments are always so much later than the original post I notice that you always see them and will often take the time to reply which is so super nice of you!). I read regularly but I will usually read a bunch of posts at a time, often during school breaks. This week (start of summer break) I’m catching up on what I’ve missed since spring break (early April). Your blog is an incredibly valuable resource to so many and also just so enjoyable (and educational!) to read. Here’s to many more years of your mmm-yoso blog. I always look forward to “going along with” you and the Missus to your next food and/or travel adventure. Thanks for letting us travel/eat vicariously via you and your blog for all these years. Congrats on 18 years!!!!
Thanks Dancing! It’s great hearing from you and I hope all is well!

Oops… I for some reason thought that my comment earlier today didn’t post and posted it again (i had written it in my text editor and copied and pasted it). I didn’t see the “next” button. Sorry for the duplicate comment (feel free to delete if you want). By the way, doing well and still hanging there with your blog after 18 years! =)
Actually, I’m twice as happy now Dancing! And I’m glad you are doing well!
