I didn’t like Westerns for much of my life. They dominated American popular culture for decades, then fizzled out as a genre just in time for my formative years. But a dozen or so years ago I suddenly had a hankering to watch classic Western films, a desire I didn’t fight. Then maybe six or sevenContinue reading “The Jeremy Dow Story”

Charlie’s Hamburgers
I grew up in the northern suburbs of Philadelphia, then lived in Center City – downtown Philly for those not from these parts – for 15 years before moving out to Delaware County, which is southwest of the city, in 2012. We did so for logistical reasons having to do with my wife’s commute toContinue reading “Charlie’s Hamburgers”
Pie
For most of my life, I was more of a cake guy than a pie guy. But that has changed within the past decade or so. The change came as a result of seeing so many wonderful pie photos in restaurant reviews and trip reports on the old roadfood site, which is not what itContinue reading “Pie”
Buffalo 2019
The last trip I took before Covid hit and the last one for which I wrote a report that was posted on the roadfood message board was to Buffalo in late October of 2019. My friend John, who I grew up with, and I drove up there to see the Eagles beat up on theContinue reading “Buffalo 2019”

In fact, I believe every time we’ve driven to either Pittsburgh or the Midwest, something that happened atContinue reading “The Summit Diner”
Traveling to Eat
Before Covid interrupted, I had a nice routine of a couple long weekend road trips and one longer trip – that sometimes involved flying – per year. I would also spend a lot of time before-hand laying out where I would eat on these trips. They were not touristy vacations. I prefer driving around flyoverContinue reading “Traveling to Eat”
Feeding my cheesesteak craving
I love food and live in the home region of the cheesesteak. While I can also say I love cheesesteaks, I don’t normally eat them all that often; maybe a few per year typically. But lately, I can’t seem to get enough of them. I think this came about in part upon my discovery ofContinue reading “Feeding my cheesesteak craving”
Getting Started
After being told I should create a food blog a number of times over the years, I’ve finally decided to dip my toes in the water. I’m also using the experience to learn how to create a blog via WordPress. While it’s not strictly a food blog, I’m somewhat obsessed with the topic, so itContinue reading “Getting Started”
