Lemon Ginger Sugar Cookie
Sometimes they’re a bit crispy…
Lemon Ginger Sugar Cookie
Other times they’re soft, tender and buttery with a touch of crispness around the edges. Prepared this way, you might say they’re close to perfect. Lemon zest and crystalized ginger […]
The Box
Could they make each little chocolate box more charming? We don’t think so. Each box comes half-wrapped and decorated with a stitched fabric label… simply charming.
The chocolates at Sugar-Coated Radical are flavored with Grand Marnier, anise, rose, coriander, crystalized jalapenos, […]
Bread Basket
Pâté Maison Sandwich
Croque Madame
Île Flottante
How do you end a lovely lunch? Savor tiny bites of a pretty little floating meringue island swimming in a sea of crème anglaise. […]
St Louis Style Ribs & Beef Brisket
How can we sum up our visits to Community Q? It just gets better every time. Is that possible? But, everything does seem to get a little bit better with each and every visit. The ribs were smoky and even more […]
Smoked Pork Loin, Mortadella (without pistachios), Black Forest Ham, Bohemian Smokies and assorted Kielbasa

“A Comfort Pub”

Fried Jalapenos & Pickles
This is the second time we’ve ordered this. Just about perfect, […]
$15.99 Roasted Whole Duck

Are you feeling lucky?
That’s the question we ask each other before we head off to Farm Burger. More often than not, the answer to that question is yes. Yes, as a matter of fact, we are feeling lucky. And, we were very lucky on this day. The […]
Vietnamese Udon with Crab, Shrimp & Pork
Fat, chewy udon noodles swim in a rich broth garnished with fried shallots and cilantro. But, that’s not all. There’s also a crab claw, crab meat, shrimp, a hunk of pork, mushrooms and a plate filled with mung bean sprouts and […]
Dark & Stormy
Spicy hot “in your face” fresh ginger flavor, this was a cocktail with a kick. Refreshing? Yes. But, there was a bit too much ginger. The alcohol was lost under it. It would be nice to taste the rum.
And, we’re still loving […]
