Cuisine. Culture. Commentary.
I previously wrote how I liked Dig Inn because it is one of the few places you can get takeout for a full, well-balanced meal – protein + sides. Well call me a fickle lover because I’ve found something I like WAY better. Here’s the thing: Dig Inn is healthy, which is great. But sometimes…

A good chunk of our Sunday was spent aboard the North River Lobster Company‘s vessel or, as I like to call it, “Lobstah Boat”. The downside is that there are no crazy food or drink specials so you can’t plan this as an all you can drink booze cruise unless you plan to shell out…

A new restaurant recently opened in Savannah which means I had to check it out on my first night back at home. I had no doubt it would be good because Ampersand is the latest venture from Brian Torres, the man behind Form and Form II Table (check those out on your next Savannah trip…

I like any vendor who has the word “party” in their name. Just saying the word party (or more accurately “partaaay”) makes me want to start dancing.

Sarah was always my ultimate Broadway buddy so we take in a show every time she’s back in town. After seeing Aladdin (fun for the whole family!) we wanted to grab a bite to eat but didn’t want to be hemmed into the overpriced and underflavored restaurants of Times Square. We hopped the 2 one…

Parker and Quinn is a gastropub which basically means it’s elevated bar food with fancier drinks. The vibe is a…

The mushrooms! Oh, the mushrooms! That’s all I have heard for years as people have told me time and again how great Craft is. I think people are just so delighted that a restaurant known for meat prepares a vegetarian dish so well. I agree, the mushrooms were delicious, as were the simply roasted butterball…

An entire restaurant devoted to grilled cheese sounds heavenly. And now it exists. Actually, it has existed for over a year, but now it conveniently exists near my office. I can’t go too often because my grilled cheese came to almost $10 – a crazy markup – and of course it didn’t keep me full…

For my last Philly foodie post, I want to focus on a great brunch find. If you are one of those people who judges a brunch spot by their bloodies, you will love National Mechanics thanks to their bloody mary bar. You pick the type of vodka (I went with bacon vodka) and the rim (I…
