My wife’s birthday was this past week. Among other things, that meant we went out to dinner at a restaurant of her choice – and her pick came down to a pair of dim sum-centered Chinese restaurants in the heart of downtown Media, PA. The last time we ate at one of them – closeContinue reading “The Dim Sum Capital of Delaware County, PA”

Celebrating Mother’s Day in Noisy Style
My wife and I spent part of this past weekend celebrating Mother’s Day with our two families. The festivities included dinner at CinCin, a classy Chinese restaurant in the Chestnut Hill section of Philadelphia that is a favorite of my family and which I wrote about in late 2021. The restaurant sits near the easternContinue reading “Celebrating Mother’s Day in Noisy Style”
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”
Visiting an Old Favorite in Philly’s Chinatown
I’ve posted on visits to old-school Chinese restaurants twice in recent weeks, but it takes more than two meals for me to tire of a favorite cuisine. So when my wife asked if I’d be interested in accompanying her into Center City for a mid-afternoon meal Sunday in advance of her volunteering at the PhiladelphiaContinue reading “Visiting an Old Favorite in Philly’s Chinatown”
Driving South in Search of an Elusive Dish
The ranks of old-school Cantonese Chinese restaurants are dwindling, and some of those that remain haven’t resumed dine-in service since the pandemic put a halt to it. So when I learn of one within a reasonable distance from my suburban Philadelphia home, you can rest assured that it won’t take me long to check itContinue reading “Driving South in Search of an Elusive Dish”
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”
Provincial Pork Shoulder at Peking Media
Our friends Andy and Stacy were in the Philly region for the weekend. That inevitably meant we’d be eating Chinese food at some point between Friday night and Sunday afternoon. It turned out to be dinner Saturday night at Peking Media, a stylish restaurant I hadn’t visited since it changed ownership and its name aContinue reading “Provincial Pork Shoulder at Peking Media”
Our Long Weekend in Virginia: Part 2
I’ve mentioned in a post or two that I have a particular fondness for old drug stores that are still filling prescriptions and also have a soda fountain and/or lunch counter. They are probably a rarity in every region of the country at this point, but the Southeast seems to have a few more leftContinue reading “Our Long Weekend in Virginia: Part 2”
The Return of Dine-In at An Old-School Favorite
Relative to how it was during my youth, there aren’t that many old-school Cantonese Chinese restaurants remaining in the Philadelphia region; a fact that I’ve bemoaned here several times. So when an alarming number of those that were still around remained closed to dine-in service – only offering takeout – well after most other restaurants inContinue reading “The Return of Dine-In at An Old-School Favorite”
Another Between-Cheesesteaks Interlude
I discovered the power of marketing today – in the form of a restaurant’s name and how it is displayed on its front facade. But before getting that far, my wife and I went bowling. It had probably been a couple months since our last outing to Sproul Lanes in Springfield, PA. I previously addressedContinue reading “Another Between-Cheesesteaks Interlude”
