One Eared Stag

“Hot” Chicken

Two orders, both divinely hot and spicy. We’ve tasted both Prince’s and 400 Degrees. This was more reminiscent of 400 degrees with a hotter, slightly bitter hot pepper heat. But, we would have licked our plates clean if we were animals. So, yeah, this was pretty […]

The Optimist

Oysters, West Coast

Sweet and bursting with an incredible depth of flavor, we loved them. These oysters are meant to be eaten as they are. They’re just too good to be hidden under a mignonette or grated horeseradish. Add a drop or two of lemon, if you must.

[…]

Americana Huckleberry Soda

Americana Huckleberry Soda

Finally, a soda that tastes like what it claims to be. This soda has a true huckleberry (or, wild blueberry) flavor. At 160 calories, it is quite sweet. But, the blend of huckleberry and elderberry give this soda real sweet/tart berry flavor with a lovely […]

Ale Yeah!

Ale Yeah!

Simply put, this little gem of a place has all the beer you want to drink. And, while you’re there, you’re sure to find something new to try. This time we went with a couple Oud Beersel Kriek & Framboise (both under $10 a bottle).

Kombucha (Synergy Enlightened Trilogy)

GT’s Kombucha Synergy Trilogy

95 % Kombucha + 5 % fruit juice

This version of kombucha was much more enjoyable than the last one we tried. We still notice the yeasty vinegary in-your-face and up your nose zing. But, raspberry and lemon juice make this much […]

Toscano & Sons

Crema di Marroni, Chocolate Fig Jam, & Roasted Fava Beans

Roasted fava beans, you could say they’re a slightly nuttier, tastier big brother to the soy nut. These were roasted nicely and seasoned appropriately with salt. We’d definitely buy them again.

The fate of these two […]

Big Tex Cantina

Carnitas

“I could eat this every day of my life.”

That’s a direct quote.

Carnitas, Beef Brisket Chili & Roasted Corn

It’s all good.

(Or, more accurately, it’s dangerously too good and far too close to home.)

[…]

Boyd & Blair

Smooth, creamy, and clean with a perfect dose of sweetness to help it go down like clear liquid magic, this is dangerously good potato vodka. As you take a sip, you inhale a whisper of caramel sweetness that’s just barely there.

Without a doubt, this is the best […]

Innis & Gunn

Innis & Gunn Oak Aged Beer

The depth and complexity of oak is mellowed by the sweet vanilla, burnt sugar and hints of rum.

We both loved it. But, there’s more than a touch of sweetness to this beer.

Guava Soda @ World Market

Bundaberg Guava Sparkling Soda

We’re fans of just about all things guava. And, we were drawn to the gorgeous pinky peach color of this soda. We weren’t disappointed. This is guava in a bottle with a nice bit of fizz. The one downside? It is super sweet. That’s […]
