After threatening to do so for the past couple weeks, I finally began revisiting the cheesesteak purveyors that made my top ten list last year. My intent is to put out a revised list that will also be expanded to a top 20 later this year. While I’m continuing to try new steaks, I alsoContinue reading “Another Cheesesteak and Roast Pork Combo”

Checking Out a Lehigh Valley Burger Legend
After having a great meal in Quakertown Saturday, I was back on 476-North Monday to pick up my wife in Allentown, where she had spent a couple days visiting with her parents. As I expected to arrive there around lunch time, my thoughts naturally turned to where we should eat. And it just so happensContinue reading “Checking Out a Lehigh Valley Burger Legend”
Two Great Sandwiches – One Great Place
It’s always exhilarating to be blown away by a sandwich that I’m trying for the first time. Saturday’s lunch outing with my wife and in-laws was a true rarity in that I sampled two amazing sandwiches, both at Giacomo’s Italian Market in Quakertown, PA, which is in northwestern Bucks County – placing it just insideContinue reading “Two Great Sandwiches – One Great Place”
Heading to South Jersey for Old-School Chinese
Although this blog is focused heavily on sandwiches, I’ve periodically written about old-school Chinese restaurants – the type of places that have menus and decor out of the 1970s and 80s. It’s been a while since I’ve done that, but I had the first of two such meals that have been planned for the nextContinue reading “Heading to South Jersey for Old-School Chinese”
Back to A Cut Above Deli for a Roast Pork Italiano
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”
