Chestnut Honey @ Alon’s Bakery

This chestnut honey from Alon’s Bakery is incredible. It has a richness and intensity I’ve never seen before. I think it’s the best chestnut honey I’ve ever been fortunate enough to taste. With a price tag just over $15, it’s no bargain. But, the quality is obvious from the terra […]

Crawfish Shack

Crispy fried fish & shrimp with a side of carbs? Yes, Please.

While there is nothing complex about this meal, the fish and shrimp were served steaming hot, super crisp and perfectly cooked. With two frying options, these two plates (above and below) demonstrate the “crispy” fried option. The dominantly […]

The Best Food Court Meal… ever!

Unagi Donburi

Unagi Donburi served with a sweet & spicy pickle and miso soup

It’s hard to believe that these photos illustrate a meal eaten at a food court. But, they are! Sushi & Hibachi is a small food court shop set in the back of the […]

Pony Rides @ Pendergrass Flea Market

For those with kids, the pony rides will be the highlight of this unusual market. The flea market has two sections. One section (indoor) with new to newish goods. Dollar store finds, clothing, jewelry, and other random items sold by those renting the indoor space. The outdoor section is a collection of […]

Fatburger

If ever there could be such a thing as a great fastfood burger, it would be the Fatburger. Given the competition, it isn’t hard to top the list of favorite fast food burgers. A soft fluffy bun, rich beef flavor with a good amount of char that lends the impression of smoke, […]

Astoria Salad @ Artuzzi's

What’s my favorite salad this summer? I don’t think I could narrow it down to just one, but, the Astoria Salad at Artuzzi’s is definitely one of my favorites.

Crisp Granny Smith apple slices, candied walnuts, strawberries, sweet baby grapes, crumbled Gorgonzola, radicchio, celery and mixed greens. Yum!

And, the sweet little rolls brushed […]

Tastee's Jamaican

The Setting: A small restaurant situated in a quiet strip mall with a handful of wooden boothes. Orders are placed at a glass counter that is filled with slices of individually wrapped cake wedges.

The Staff: Very friendly

The Food: Incredibly rich, tender and delicious stews.

We sampled one order of the ox tail […]

Dickey's BBQ

The Setting: A free standing pale brick building that is significantly more attractive than your standard fast food restaurant.

The Staff: Friendly and efficient

The Food: The BBQ is suprisingly good for a fast food style restaurant. Slightly smoky and tender, we found the ribs, brisket and chicken to be the most reliable. The […]

Guilty Pleasure: Bojangles — Sweet Potato Pie

Ridiculously buttery and flaky, these will never fall in the healthy foods category. But, for an occasional bite, Bojangles’ sweet potato pies are an indulgent fast food treat.

Heavily doused with a sugar cinnamon glaze, the contrast of salty pie crust against this super sweet glaze… YUM!
