Hobnob

Shortrib & Lamb Pizza

This pizza is full of flavor. Tender, braised shortrib is one of my all-time favorite things. It has a luxurious buttery quality that underlines all the positive attributes of beef. The tender shreds on this pizza illustrate that point beautifully. Coupled with red pepper, crumbled goat […]

Twisted Taco

Chips & Salsa

Tacos filled with crab balls and blackened fish

I’m not a huge fan of tacos. And, the tacos here aren’t Tex-Mex or even Tex-Tex, for that matter. They’re just stuff stuffed inside flour tortillas. But, it is tasty stuff in generous […]

Rí Rá

Fish & Chips at Ri Ra Irish Pub (thick-cut chips are an option)

Ri Ra’s fish & chips were a huge hit with us. This batter-fried haddock was fried to a deep golden brown with super crisp edges. The dense batter was everything we were looking for in a traditional “Fish & Chips”. […]

Samuel Adams Chocolate Bock

The first scent is sweet chocolate and malt. The taste of burnt sugar/caramel up front is lovely. Complex malt and vanilla undertones add to the smooth & creamy feel of it in your mouth. Smooth, creamy and complex all at once. The vanilla also adds to the sweetness. But, it’s a pleasant sweetness… […]

Ommegang Chocolate Indulgence

Ommegang Chocolate Indulgence Belgian Chocolate Stout

The scent of dark chocolate/bitter chocolate/cocoa is quickly evident and very pleasant. The first taste reveals a deep dark bitter chocolate flavor that works beautifully with the malty tones. Dried fruit flavors linger in the background and contribute to a wonderful depth of flavor. Slightly […]
