Pourin rain when I woke up today!

One of those days. I look forward to these few October weeks every year. Alas the weather Gods pissed all over my road trip,leaf viewing and pizza plans.

There is always next week,but seems next weekend might be crapola too.

So. All is not lost. There is always a fall back plan in our pizza life. Nothing that some Corey Stevens on guitar can't soothe.

On with the show.

I've been waiting to bust out my birthday t-shirt I got a few months ago. Sailor Jerry Rum hitting the spot. It's no secret I love sci-fi and spooky movies. Ask the kid ,she digs The Green Slime.

Since the wife,kid and I started this blog we have tried not to repeat visit any pizza joint. We have for the most part adhered to that,although I think we have hit Huckleberry's twice,I digress.

But. And always there is that but. I'll explain. The wife recently had some surgery and is still on the mend. One of her sisters got her a gift certificate for some pizza. Who am I to go against a repeat visit when free pizza is paid for?

So the sister got Sher a gift certificate to Fields Of Pizza. They have two locations,both on the Avenue Of The Cities on the Illinois side of the river.

On with the show! A crappy drive over I-74.

Still raining. This is the Fields Of Pizza in  Moline. We did not go there.

And here we are.

As I had front loaded heavily I had to visit the bathroom pronto. Fairly clean.Might as well get this part of the review over with early.

The menu.

Time for some goofing off. Good times. We try.

Okay. On with the show. If one has followed this blog. I made mention the very first time we visited and I said the chicken smelled sinful coming out of the kitchen. Sher and I made good to try some chicken.

Dang and I must say the chicken was and is as good as I smelled it the first time!!!!!!

Moll got her usual chicken strips and fries.

Sher ordered a small pepperoni and I got a small sausage.

This.

The remains.

A few more shots.

The wife ,kid and I have agreed that Fields Of Pizza in East Moline pretty much is our gold standard when it comes to QC Style pizza..

I understand that QC style pizza is not everyone's cup of tea and I get that. Hell,I am always on the lookout for different style of pizza around here.But I still love pizza no matter what.

So. I'm gonna give Fields Of Pizza a 8.9 on the Scotty scale. The pizza could have had a little more sauce.

The chicken on the other hand was a home run right out of the park and a solid 10!!!. So good and I could just go there for the chicken and I think the wife would agree with me on that.

On that note. Anyone that knows me knows how much I love Halloween and this time of year.

I dug out his old costume shirt from a few years ago and it still (ahem)fits!

Cheers!

Weren't near any bayou,but.

We did venture out and ended up in beautiful downtown Port Byron Ill. My sister in law always snowbirds down south around this time every year. So she invited the family out for dinner.

Alas no pizza to be found,but hey! A free dinner is a free dinner, so I'm not complaining.

Yours truly in his favorite time of the year. Halloween has always been the best time for me. I love it. Just wish the weather would cool off a bit.

Eastbound on I-80 and over the river.

So. We all went to Port Byron to Tuggers. It's a Burger Bar and Ale House according to their website.

A few outdoor pics.

Really like the indoor area although the metal seats were plain down right uncomfortable and alone a reason for me to never go back. Seriously even the wife hated them.

The men's  room was spotless!

The menu.

Now it's time for me to be honest. This type of place is not really any place I would go out of my way to stop and try out. Like I said up top free is free.

That said. I ordered this pork chili tater tot casserole type dish. It was tasty and the serving size was generous. The wife got some hamburger and it did look delish and came with fresh cut fries.

I won't give Tuggers any type of rating because I wasn't really there to try out the menu like we do for pizza. You certainly couldn't do worse if you are in the area and looking for a burger. And hey,Port Byron,Rapids City and LeClaire this time of year is a good reason to see the river and view the leaves changing.

Hopefully we will got back into the swing of more regular updates. The wife is recovering from some medical issues and is just now starting to feel better.


As always, pizza is life!
