Pontiac-Toronto

To be continued…

On the road out of Pontiac, The Bats, and their Kitchen comrades, Cryptacize, stopped in for some truly authentic Coney Island cuisine at Luca’s.

Sight-seeing in Detroit.

The Bats cross the Ambassador Bridge headed towards Canada,

and prepare their identification for the Canadian officials….





Detained for only a short while, The Bats scatter, some ending up at a familiar old Chinese restaurant in Toronto.



The rest would regroup at breakfast the following morning: Pho at the Peach Garden.

Thanks to hb nixon for these, taken at El Mocambo the evening prior.

Denver, Minneapolis, Chicago

The Bats & Co., engulfed by a Denver blizzard,

sought shelter and decided to bide their time cooking and eating.

The Kitchen Club was in session, this time for Miso Stew.

Early the following morning, after the storm had run it’s course, The Bats set out for Minneapolis. A sense of jubilee was shared by all as they left Denver.

Breakfast at Country Kitchen. Their fearless leader tried the penne and could barely keep it down.


Memories from Chicago…


Tickles the Cat.

Tore-Me Anus.

Quick Kitchen Club meeting on stage. See fries.

The Kitchen Club united for one last round of Chaka’s Food.

The Bats face their first day of adverse weather conditions. The wrath of Squattle was narrowly avoided.

A snow urchin aided us.

The Bats seeking refuge from the oncoming storm. They were just minutes ahead of it.



Morning In Denver, stranded by a blizzard. Change of plan. We will stay in Denver.

En route to Salt Lake, a typical scene.


Upon arriving in Salt Lake, we spotted none other than Dean Milan…

…and then quickly descended upon Al Forno’s.
