The following day began with breakfast in another small town; Winterset, Iowa, which is in Madison County, as in The Bridges of Madison County. But that wasn’t why we were there. I’ll get to that in a bit. First, breakfast. There are many sub genres within road food. One of my favorites is old-school drugContinue reading “Relish Trays, Wood Paneling and Cornfields: My 2018 Trip to Iowa and Nebraska (part 2)”

Relish Trays, Wood Paneling and Cornfields: My 2018 Trip to Iowa and Nebraska (part 1)
One of my major trip reports on the old roadfood message board was on a 2018 vacation my wife and I took to Iowa and eastern Nebraska. I was very disappointed to lose that report and am going to try my best to recreate it here. This one is going to be too long forContinue reading “Relish Trays, Wood Paneling and Cornfields: My 2018 Trip to Iowa and Nebraska (part 1)”
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”
The Summit Diner
Many people have a favorite diner. I’m one of them. It’s not in my home region, but it is along the route my wife and I have taken on many of our road trips over the years. 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”
