Bread @ White Windmill Bakery

Buckhead Bread Company and Alon’s are our go-to spots for bread. But, we were happily surprised by this French style loaf from White Windmill Bakery. The crust was still crisp when we arrived home. But, by dinner time it lost its crunch. Luckily, we were using this loaf as the […]

Mofongo Perfection… again

Mofongo with Spicy Shrimp

As you can see, the plantains are cooked to perfection. And, that’s no exaggeration. (My pictures were better last time.) The blend of crispy bits, caramelization, and creamy mashed plantain work in delicious harmony. The crispy crumbs of deep fried pork in the center are an […]

Spicy Pickle

Wise Guy

When visiting Colorado, we don’t always have time to seek out the best restaurants. Sometimes, we’re forced to rely on easily accessible food. Spicy Pickle makes a great sandwich. And, we don’t want to forget about them… or their pickles. (picture “borrowed” from Spicy Pickle’s website)

SMOKEJACK

Betty invites you in. (One of us loves Betty. Cleary, someone at Smokejack does, too.) We found Smokejack by chance about 2 years ago. We’ve been loving it ever since.

Fried Pickles

We’re not usually fans of fried pickles. But, these were really good. Part […]

White Chocolate Grill in Lone Tree

White Chocolate Grill in Lone Tree, Colorado

“Perfectly Grilled Atlantic Salmon”

Pretty cocky… huh? But, you know what? It was just about perfect.

White Chocolate Martini (aka dessert #1)

Healthy dinner means we can have two […]

Swallow at the Hollow

Ribs, Mac N Cheese, Brunswick Stew & Griddled Biscuit

There’s a lot to love at The Swallow at the Hollow. Set down a quiet side street with a gravel path leading to make-shift parking under the trees, we feel like we’re visiting friendly neighbors. A mountain of chopped wood decorates […]

Luciano’s Ristorante

Scallops, Artichokes & Crispy Pancetta

The area surrounding Mall of Georgia is a dead zone for restaurants. So, in a moment of hungry desperation, we decided to give Luciano’s a chance. And, we’re glad we did. With an interesting 80’s white on white meets Abercrombie interior, we weren’t sure what […]

Veranda Greek Taverna

Lamb, Potato Croquettes, & Green Beans

We enjoyed our recent lunchtime visit to Veranda. The entire tapas menu is $5 per selection. Two grilled lamb chops with wine reduction, two potato fritters and a nice little serving of green beans with garlic and olive oil for $5. We were pleasantly […]

Fox Brothers BBQ

Smoked Chicken, White BBQ Sauce, Collards, & Cornbread

The only accurate description for this chicken? Perfection. This chicken (yet again) showcases the perfect use of smoke and spice. And, it was cooked to the perfect state of doneness. You know when a piece of chicken is cooked so perfectly it […]

Smokin J’s — Another Visit

We both love these ribs. Seriously. The balance of smoke, tender meaty pork and sauce is right on the money. And, the sauces are some of our favorites. With three sauces (Original, Mustard, and Bold AKA Kansas City Style), there should be a sauce to please just about everyone. But, […]
