It’s only been a little over a month since I wrote about the magnificent Italian hoagie I had from A Cut Above Deli in the western Philly suburb of Newtown Square, PA. As part of that post, I mentioned a desire to return there soon to try one of their hot sandwiches. And in theContinue reading “Back to A Cut Above Deli for a Roast Pork Italiano”

The Thrill of Eating and the Agony of Defeat
Since moving considerably south of the friends with whom I have traditionally watched football, I’ve usually been on my own for the Super Bowl – and this year was no exception. But I wasn’t going to allow that to get in the way of planning and executing a menu that would be worthy of theContinue reading “The Thrill of Eating and the Agony of Defeat”
The Barbecue Triangle of Philly’s Northern ‘Burbs
It wasn’t that many years ago that the Philadelphia region was virtually a barren wasteland when it came to barbecue that could pass for authentic in the South. The situation has shown signs of slow improvement over the past decade or so. But the pace seems to be picking up based on my experiences inContinue reading “The Barbecue Triangle of Philly’s Northern ‘Burbs”
Jersey Shore Staple Brings their Steaks to Bucks
This isn’t the first time I’ve pointed out that plans don’t always come to fruition; and it probably won’t be the last. At the end of my last post I stated an intention to begin a series of revisits to all of the steak shops that made my top ten list last year in preparationContinue reading “Jersey Shore Staple Brings their Steaks to Bucks”
Getting My Hash On
I can’t remember exactly when I became a fan of corned beef hash. It was probably the first time I had a good made-from-scratch version of it, and I was well into my adulthood when that happened. It may have been on one of our roadfood themed trips during my early married years. Whenever itContinue reading “Getting My Hash On”
Lil’ Nick’s Deli: Moving On to the Roast Pork Italiano
After two-plus weeks on a light diet I was extremely excited about eating something I could blog about Thursday. While I still wasn’t quite ready to dive into a cheesesteak, there is another sandwich with a large following in the Philly area on which I’ve been wanting to write, and this seemed like the perfectContinue reading “Lil’ Nick’s Deli: Moving On to the Roast Pork Italiano”
Back to the Bowl
My hometown Philadelphia Eagles are headed to the Super Bowl for the fourth time. It’s only been five years since their last trip to the big game, which was also the only time they won it. While we’ve had our share of good teams in Philly over the years, the Eagles, Phillies, Sixers and FlyersContinue reading “Back to the Bowl”
A Short Break From my Regular Programming
I’ve been trying to establish a pattern of posting every Monday, Wednesday and Friday in recent weeks, but my body has stopped cooperating. It’s nothing serious, but I’m under the weather this week and don’t have an appetite for the kinds of food that are worthy of reporting on here. I also have a routineContinue reading “A Short Break From my Regular Programming”
Lunch at an Old-School Pizzeria and Steak Shop
My friend Joe was back in the area to visit family and asked if I was free for lunch Saturday. It was an offer I couldn’t refuse and we set about determining where to go. As Broomall, PA is centrally located between my home and where he’d be, we looked at a couple restaurants thereContinue reading “Lunch at an Old-School Pizzeria and Steak Shop”
Why Not?: The Duck Cheesesteak
In a few of my earlier posts, I mentioned grabbing something to eat while on the way to visit my father. I drive a little less than an hour to see him each week, and while I don’t always mix a meal into the outing, it’s become fairly common. I need to eat a coupleContinue reading “Why Not?: The Duck Cheesesteak”
