Alexander's Steakhouse Champaign, Illinois

Alexander's, we have not been in years, and we are excited to share the experience with everyone!!

At Alexander's you basically cook your own meal, for an additional cost they have a chef who will cook it for  you - but why would we do that, Randy is an awesome chef!!

First  you pick your meat from the cooler, they have everything- salmon, chicken, pork, beef, fish:

Then Chef Randy does his thing!!

Our meal in the making:

While it is cooking we learned from experience, we have our salads~

And you gotta keep an eye on the Texas Toast- my fault!

The bartender was nice enough to take a photo of us:

And the crowd was picking up fast!

Our finished meals- Randy had Pork Chops!

I had the Kabob- best ever!! Thank you Chef Randy!!!

We really like Alexander's, wish we could take you all!!!

If you are in the area- you don't want to miss this!!!

Saputo's Famous for Italian Foods  8th & Monroe Street                           
#Saputo's

After a long hot 450 miles on the bike, we were ready for some dinner!!
Saputo's is just around the corner from the Hilton, so we can walk, it did come highly recommended from the front desk clerk and a bartender when we were in town in May.

It is dark, and the hostess was not pleasant, but we were hungry!!

Randy starts with Escargot- he likes them but has had better!!

The bread was a real disappointment!! Enough said!

I ordered the Chicken Alfredo, it was good, no  real complaints.

Randy ordered the Baked Lasagna with Sausage, again no complaints of course it is not his mothers 

Lasagna (it never is) !

The menu has a bit of everything, the people just kept coming- a large party room in the back was full. 

The cost wasn't bad, the waitress Courtney was fun!

Doubtful we will return, it is just not something we enjoyed and the hostess attitude did not help at all!!
