This blog was begun in 2021 so that I’d have public cyber space on which to recreate and save the trip reports that were permanently lost when the roadfood.com message board on which I posted them went defunct. It fairly quickly morphed into something else, but those reports are still available here along with aContinue reading “2025 Midwest Roadfood Trip (Part One)”

Enjoying the Weekday Brunch Trend
Years after most Philadelphia area luncheonettes closed for good, a new breed of restaurant that serves breakfast and lunch only has come to the fore in the local dining scene. In both the city and suburbs a growing number of places have made brunch a meal option all week long. And none of those thatContinue reading “Enjoying the Weekday Brunch Trend”
Shrimp & Scrambled Eggs with Corned Beef Hash

My Great-Grandmother’s Fried Lox Recipe
Calling this dish “fried lox” may conjure up visions of smoked salmon slices going into a deep-fryer. But I doubt my great-grandmother ever saw one of those. These lox get pan-fried in butter; a lot of butter. Actually, I wouldn’t be surprised if she used schmaltz. I’m not prepared to get quite that authentic.
