About Me

Matt, Traci, and Clark Ragas live in Chicago.

Matt is a native of New Orleans, Louisiana, though he called the Sunshine State home for over a decade before moving to Chicago. Traci hails from St. Petersburg, Florida and has never lived more than 45 minutes from the Gulf of Mexico.

Clark originally hails from - well, we aren't totally sure. We're just blessed to have him in our family. He's a "rescue dog" as we say. :)

Here is where you can learn all about our new life in the big city.

 

Goodbye to Louis' Lunch

We still keep up with goings-on in Gainesville, so we were sad to see that Louis' Lunch is closing. For readers of FloridaFoodHound - you might remember - Matt wrote about our visits to this historic diner a few years ago.  Louis' Lunch is the oldest restaurant in Gainesville and home to the most interesting hamburger I've ever had. A bit like a meatball, with a touch of meatloaf, crunchy and made in an old pan by the original owner's son, this restaurant was so full of tradition and history it is hard to imagine it being gone.

Here is the Gainesville Sun article. I wish the family happiness though I'm sad to hear they are closing.  Update:  Pictures of the closing, from the Gainesville Sun:  http://tinyurl.com/22nanoh
