Vosges — Blood Orange Caramel Bar

Vosges Blood Orange Caramel Bar

There are simply no words to express the absolute perfection of this bar. The chocolate is deep, dark, rich and complex. While the right bite of bitter citrus from blood orange and Campari tempers the sweetness of syrupy smooth caramel, it’s easily the […]

Tous Les Jours

Sweet Pumpkin Coffee Cake

This might be the best sweet at Tous Les Jours. It’s definitely our favorite. (…Or, is it one of those light and fluffy custard buns? Hmm.) Candied pumpkin chunks decorate the woven sweet bread that’s garnished with slivers of almond and black sesame seeds. […]

Hemp Chips

Food Should Taste Good Brand Hemp Tortilla Chips

The Taste?

Yep, it tastes like a tortilla chip.

But, there is a hint of smoky, nutty(ish) flavor that’s quite pleasant. That very light nutty flavor is probably closer to the roasty toasty […]

Red Boat

Red Boat Fish Sauce

(VERY IMPORTANT: Make sure you buy the 40° N version.)

First Press

Why should you try this fish sauce?

Two reasons:

Black Anchovies and Sea Salt

(These are […]

Popped Sorghum

Hot N’ Chilly Chili Mini Pops (Air Popped Sorghum Grain)

Dusted with chili powder, garlic and other spices (cumin and paprika?), this is a nice little snack. But, the little popped grains have an unpleasant ratio of pesky skins to fluffy grain. That’s even more […]

Fiesta Farmers Market

Manzano Peppers

Filled with gorgeous black seeds, these peppers are the perfect balance of heat and sweet, fruity pepper flavor.

Love, love, love them! And, even more love for…

P.A.N. Sweet Corn Mix

The scent of sweet corn oozing […]

Fentiman’s

Fentiman’s Shandy & Mandarin Orange Jigger

We both loved the Shandy. And, the Mandarin Orange Jigger was “interesting”.

Lotsa Potato, Little Tuna

It’s a good thing we like a good dose of heat because this Tunisian Tuna sandwich was swimming in […]

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 […]

Aladdin’s Mediterranean Grill

Aladdin’s Kabab Sampler

This platter was jammed full of meat with two pieces of grilled chicken breast, cubes of lamb, and two generous pieces of kofta. Then, add a mountain of rice, a good-sized portion of Jerusalem salad and hummus topped with olive oil, herbs, a sprinkle of […]

Java Indonesian Food

Keju Kacang Mede

At first glance, these might look like cookies. But, they’re actually a light and crispy savory cracker. Buttery, cheesy and a nice bit of roasted nut crunch from the cashews, we enjoyed these puffy crackers that melt away under your bite.
