Burger with lettuce, tomato & jalapenos
Nope, it’s not hiding at Five Guys. But, they do offer an above average fast food burger. With a decent assortment of free toppings, it’s nice to customize a burger to your taste. And, burgers are griddle fried to order. Fries are served in […]
We found this prettily packaged apple pie jam at Muss & Turner’s. And, we had to buy a jar. We’re looking forward to slathering it on tomorrow morning’s breakfast toast.

The Dooley
What’s in one of the best pastrami sandwiches we’ve ever eaten? Romanian style pastrami, swiss, horseradish slaw and Russian dressing on a challah bun. The genius of this sandwich is the house-made (update: It’s New York State Brand) warm pastrami. It is nothing short of incredible. Each paper […]
Poppy & Everything Bagels
Another batch of gorgeous bagels from Goldberg’s, their poppy seed bagels are one of my favorites. Poppy seeds smother the top and bottom of each and every bagel. I love that. And, look at all those toasty bits of garlic and sesame seeds on the everything […]
Lemon Ginger Sugar Cookie
This is my favorite cookie right now. I tend to prefer soft sugar cookies. And, this one is soft, tender & buttery. Close to perfect, this sugar cookie with a delicate use of lemon and crystalized ginger highlights the sweet buttery cookie base. Tender […]
Prawn Crackers with Malaysian Pork Jerky
We lived within a handful of blocks to the Toco Hills location of Top Spice for many years. (This was over 5 years ago.) Some weeks, I believe we ate there more often than we ate at home. It was our favorite spot of […]
Cheesy topped popovers
What’s not to love? Crispy cheese topped popovers were served warm with sweet cream butter and sea salt. They were simple & delicious.
Black Angus Burger with double wood smoked bacon
The high quality angus beef shines in this burger. And, nicely […]
St Louis cut ribs and pulled pork
Now open for about two weeks, Smokin J’s dished up this well-prepared plate of St Louis cut ribs and pulled pork. The ribs were a gorgeous shade of pink. They had a great smoky flavor made even better by the carefully charred exterior. […]
Mystery Chocolates
Shopping for chocolates at New Odessa can be a bit of a mystery. I love marshmallows. And, the above photo depicts a marshmallow… yes? Yes. But, it also illustrates a plum or a grape or… maybe a fig? A jelly-filled chocolate? I was hoping for fig in some […]
Buffalo Burger & sweet potato with cinnamon butter
I can’t tell you why. But, I really really want to like this place. Maybe it has something to do with the incredibly friendly staff and charming surroundings. For me, stepping into Ted’s Montana Grill feels like stepping onto a movie set. […]
