Searching for a Great Slice of Pizza

The current primary topic of interest in my food-obsessed mind is pizza. I’ve been thinking about it increasingly since having the great pie at Joey’s Pizza that I wrote about a couple weeks ago. And as you’d expect, I don’t want to settle for just any pizza. So I started researching the best current optionsContinue reading “Searching for a Great Slice of Pizza”

Back on the Cheesesteak Trail

At least for blogging purposes, I’ve left the kitchen for the time-being and returned to more familiar territory – the steak shop circuit. It had been two weeks since my last cheesesteak going into Wednesday’s lunch.  That’s when I made the 20-minute drive over to Wolf’s Superior Sandwiches in Aston, PA. The steak I ateContinue reading “Back on the Cheesesteak Trail”

Shrimp & Scrambled Eggs with Corned Beef Hash

I didn’t intend to post about my home cooking adventures three times in a week. But as the name of the blog indicates, I write mostly about what I eat. And between having a sudden rush of ideas for things I wanted to cook and feeling the need to take a couple extra days betweenContinue reading “Shrimp & Scrambled Eggs with Corned Beef Hash”

My Next Roast Pork – at a Northeast Philly Deli

While I am enjoying my Roast Pork sandwich project, I’ve already concluded that I simply can’t eat those every week like I did with cheesesteaks for roughly a year. The fact that I’m still averaging a steak every 1-2 weeks undoubtedly plays a role in that. There are only so many long-roll sandwiches I canContinue reading “My Next Roast Pork – at a Northeast Philly Deli”

My First Go at Biscuits with Sausage Gravy

Although biscuits with sausage gravy has been a popular breakfast staple in large swaths of the United States for virtually as long as the country has existed, it wasn’t particularly big where I grew up. In fact, I must have been at least well into my thirties before trying it for the first time andContinue reading “My First Go at Biscuits with Sausage Gravy”

Lunch at One of the Country’s Oldest Inns

Sunday was a near-perfect day. So it was a stroke of good luck that my wife and I had plans to meet with old friends for lunch at an ideal spot to take advantage of the beautiful weather.  Just a week after visiting Loretta’s Cafe in Bristol, PA, where I tried one of the PhillyContinue reading “Lunch at One of the Country’s Oldest Inns”

Revisiting a Favorite for another Steak and Pie

A select few of the many places I’ve visited for cheesesteaks since starting this blog in 2021 have excelled at both steaks and pizza. One was Joey’s Pizza of Thorndale, PA, which served one of the steaks I placed among the honorable mentions on my Top 10 list last year. But that was overshadowed byContinue reading “Revisiting a Favorite for another Steak and Pie”

Returning to The Persian Grill After 30 Years

The Persian Grill in the western suburb of Lafayette Hill is likely the oldest restaurant that specializes in Persian food in the Philadelphia region. While I don’t know that for a fact, my last meal there before Tuesday was about 30 years ago, and they weren’t new then. If there is an older one, I’dContinue reading “Returning to The Persian Grill After 30 Years”

Trying the Philly Region’s Hot New Cheesesteak

I’ve mentioned many times that I regularly check in on Facebook’s cheesesteak boards for tips on where to find good ones. Since I began doing that in 2021 there has been a distinct pattern of a new steak shop – or at least new to the attention of most of the boards’ members – creatingContinue reading “Trying the Philly Region’s Hot New Cheesesteak”
