Bacon Cheese Burger
Airport food is shaping up quite nicely.
For a really decent airport burger, $20 isn’t that bad.
Root Down DIA There’s a restaurant in the historic Highland neighborhood, too. Root Down Denver
Crispy Skin Trout
With Grilled Okra & Onions Crispy skin with tender delicate flakes, this was very nicely done.
An entire filleted trout was more than generous to begin this dish. Then, top that with around 8 whole grilled okra and a rich lemon butter sauce. Lightly toasted sprigs of thyme complete the picture.
Sapelo Island Clams
These delicately cooked clams were swimming in a sauce of brown ale, cream, sautéed sausage, onion and tomato. Labeled as a starter, one of us happily made a meal of it.
Portabello Fries
Paired with garlic aioli, this was another very generous serving.

Don’t let the nearly deserted strip mall fool you.
If you’re in the area (The Shoppes At Webb Gin), we seriously doubt you can do better than The Georgia Pine.

Tip # 1
This field was previously packed with pumpkins.
These were the last pumpkins to remain homeless.
But, there’s still plenty for the kids to do.
There’s a hay ride and a 30+ minute corn maze to solve.
Tip # 2
There’s a school bus to shoot at with an apple cannon. And, there’s a big (from the kid’s point of view) downhill slide, too.
When you’re done wandering around, head over to the shack with the pink pigs…
…all over it.
Get in line. THEN, decide what you want. Then, wait.
…and wait some more.
Try and find a seat.
After all of that, it’s finally time to check out the market.
Arkansas Black Apples We found these Arkansas Black apples that we’ve never tried. They were super crisp, very hard, dense, and thick-skinned. Equal parts tart and sweet, there was good balance that underlined the apple flavor without overwhelming it. And, there was a unique flavor that can only be described as starchy. We’d be willing to bet that these apples make a great pie. And, we’re told that these apples grow darker as they age.

Caramel Iced Pound Cake It was all good. But… The caramel iced pound cake was the real winner. Rich, slightly dense and still incredibly tender, this cake had the texture and flavor of a really old-fashioned pound cake.
Georgia Belle Peach Preserves Tip # 3 This white fleshed peach has an incredible depth of flavor. Fresh, these peaches have a seductive aroma. In the jar, the essence of the peach is captured with an almost floral, perfume-y (in the very best way) sweetness.
Mill circa 1800 on Hazel Creek
Are you heading for the hills to check out the fall colors? Jaemor Farms makes a great place to stop, buy some boiled peanuts (a bit on the salty side), get a drink and break up the drive. Jaemor Farms
Star Provision’s Chocolate Hazelnut Dossant Layer upon layer of buttery laminated dough like the best croissant… But, this dossant is glistening with a paper-thin crispy creme brûlée caramel shell. And, it’s stuffed with a rich chocolate hazelnut ganache, sprinkled with ground hazelnuts, and drizzled with chocolate.
Can you imagine filling the hole of a croissant doughnut with the best deep, dark chocolate hazelnut truffle? It’s better than that. The brittle layer of caramelized sugar adds that extra special something that makes the sum greater than its delicious parts.
The Mocha Buttercream Dossant Are they torching the sugar right on the dossant? Whatever it is that they do it. We sure hope they keep on doing it. These are fluffy mountains of divine pastry goodness.
The Pastry Cream Dossant This might be the simplest version. But, it’s every bit as delicious as the other two.
You can try to take them with you. Just be sure to eat them while the caramel shell is brittle perfection.
The Caramel Pecan Sticky Bun One giant bun filled this box. And, we do mean FILLED. Size only matters when it’s got the substance to back it up. This sticky bun sure does. It’s covered in beautifully roasted pecans and drizzled with dark caramel. It was too good. Star Provisions
Buffalo Chicken Fingers Ah, Benchwarmers… Or, as someone likes to say… BellyF*@kers!
Sometimes, you just want some crispy chicken tenders and real skin on fries. This is the place. Those chicken tenders are tender strips of chicken breast in a perfectly crisp shell.
Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese Yes, this is one trashy mess. And, we love them for it.
Nothing Fancy It’s just great bar food with a comfort food twist.
This is where to go when it’s time to grab a beer and watch the game.
Call For Reservations? Seriously? Benchwarmers Sports Grill
Super Crispy Chicken Wings With Kickin’ MJ Sauce Everything about these (big) wings were perfection. They were super crisp on the outside with tender, juicy meat on the inside. And, the sauce? So good, it was a rich balance of savory, spicy, a little garlic, a touch of sweetness and soy. The soy added just the right depth without being too salty. Honestly, it was just a really great wing sauce.
Wings might not be a pretty food. But, they sure are crispy and delicious.
Three Tacos The beef and pork were rich and full of flavor. We ignored them a bit. We were just too busy devouring those wings. The one standout was the sweetness. They were very tasty. But, they might be a touch too sweet for us. We’d still happily give them a second chance any day of the week.
The fried mashed potato taco was a tasty bite of crispy carb overload.
Bi Bim Sub Steak bulgogi, fried egg, lettuce, tomato, cucumber & Korean chili sauce. Next time, we’d add a lot more Korean chili sauce. This was tasty, too. But, it needed more chili sauce to compete with the sweetness of the steak bulgogi.
Parmesan Fries These must be eaten fast. They’re a crazy-rich sloppy good mess when they’re crispy. But, when they get soggy and cold… not so much.

Steamed Rice & Shrimp Cakes
Topped with crispy fried shallot slivers, toasty cubes of bread and thin scallion slices, you are rewarded with savory spoonfuls that offer so much flavor and texture. Each elegant little bite was a unique delight.
Grilled Squid Sate
Rice noodles were topped with crispy fried shallots, scallions and garlic. Then, cut into manageable strips for easy wrapping.

A Generous Mountain Of Perilla Leaves & Other Herbs Our giant platter was overflowing with a huge assortment of herbs. Mint, Thai basil, cilantro, perilla leaves, and smooth, glossy heart shaped betel leaves were among the mountain of herbs.
Sizzling Chicken Curry Crispy breaded chicken was topped with a Thai curry sauce that bubbled and sizzled on its piping hot cast iron platter. It was full of Thai basil, sliced onion, red and green sweet peppers. This will be a craving as the days grow cooler. We’re sure of it.

Equal parts of motivation and inspiration…

Eggs Benedict With Country Ham
What makes a perfect poached egg? The interior should be rich and creamy bordering on custardy with just a touch of firm yellow clinging to the tender whites. These were perfect.
Beautiful Crispy Bacon Dancing Goat coffee, too? All of these delicious pieces create one absolutely perfect breakfast. And, they’re dishing up these gorgeous dishes consistently. Love it. More, please. Oh… And, the green tea oatmeal looks divine. Seriously. …Next time. Buttermilk Kitchen |
