While the intensity of my cheesesteak craving has died down a bit from where it was for much of the Summer, the completist within is driving me to push forward in a foolish quest to try all of the highly-rated steaks I’ve read about since discovering the cheesesteak blog and Facebook group I referred toContinue reading “I see a cheesesteak pattern developing”

My Ten Favorite Roadfood Restaurants
I know. I said at the top of my post on Sammy’s Roumanian Steakhouse that it would be difficult to list my ten favorite restaurants. Well that got me to thinking. While it really would be nearly impossible to list my ten favorites across all restaurant-genres, it would be a tad easier if I stuckContinue reading “My Ten Favorite Roadfood Restaurants”
Sammy’s Roumanian Steakhouse
It would be difficult for me to pick the best or ten best restaurants I’ve ever eaten at. I love food and have had a lot of memorable meals out at a wide array of restaurants, from hole-in-the-wall roadfood joints to fine-dining establishments. But when it comes to picking the funnest restaurant I’ve ever beenContinue reading “Sammy’s Roumanian Steakhouse”
Charlotte 2017: Road to the Super Bowl
The 2017 NFL season was a magical one for Philadelphia Eagles fans. We had spent a lifetime watching our rivals hoist the Lombardi Trophy after winning the Super Bowl while all we had was an occasional close call and an overload of agonizing frustration. That all came to an end in early 2018, when theContinue reading “Charlotte 2017: Road to the Super Bowl”
The Best Cheesesteak Rivalry in Philly
Had I called this post, “The Most Famous Cheesesteak Rivalry in Philly,” there would be little doubt as to which two steak shops I was referring. Pat’s, the originator of the cheesesteak, and Geno’ sit across a busy South Philly intersection from each other, iconic neon light displays blasting away. However, many cheesesteak aficionados considerContinue reading “The Best Cheesesteak Rivalry in Philly”
Kansas City 2017: Burgers, Barbecue, History (part 3)
For the final full day of the trip, we remained in Kansas City, taking advantage of the best the city has to offer in terms of both history and food. Our first stop was the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, which shares a building with the American Jazz Museum. Nearly every available square foot of spaceContinue reading “Kansas City 2017: Burgers, Barbecue, History (part 3)”
Kansas City 2017: Burgers, Barbecue, History (part 2)
We had more history-oriented sight-seeing on tap the day after our side-trip to central Missouri. Sight-seeing requires energy, so we stopped for another burger and malt first. One of the Kansas City burger joints I’d known about for years due to its presence on the roadfood web site was Winstead’s. They have fifties style decorContinue reading “Kansas City 2017: Burgers, Barbecue, History (part 2)”
Kansas City 2017: Burgers, Barbecue, History (part 1)
All barbecue lovers dream of visiting Kansas City at some point. I had thought about doing so for years when it finally happened in 2017. But barbecue turned out to be only a minor part of what I consider to be the most enjoyable and informative vacation I’ve ever taken. In fact, barbecue wasn’t evenContinue reading “Kansas City 2017: Burgers, Barbecue, History (part 1)”
Sunday Gravy Therapy
The early months of the pandemic were tough on everyone. We suddenly had a ton of time on our hands and needed to find productive ways to use it without leaving home. Most of my home projects involve food in one way or another. Spending an entire day and sometimes night smoking meat in myContinue reading “Sunday Gravy Therapy”
On the Road Again, Finally
Although my wife and I spent a weekend in Lambertville, NJ, for her birthday during Spring, it didn’t feel like we were going away, as Lambertville can be considered part of the Philadelphia region. We had a trip to New England planned over the summer, but a temporary health concern caused it to be cancelled.Continue reading “On the Road Again, Finally”
