My wife and I do a lot of our local dining out in Media, Pennsylvania, the seat of Delaware County in the southwestern suburbs of Philadelphia. We sometimes combine dinner with a visit to downtown Media’s Trader Joe’s, and that was the situation Friday evening when we opted for a pre-shopping meal at Tom’s DimContinue reading “Our Dim Sum Tradition Lives On in the Suburbs”

Johnny’s Back and Hasn’t Lost a Step
One of my favorite places to post on since starting this blog has been Johnny Paisano’s of Springfield, PA. It was a charming little restaurant less than five minutes from where I live that served excellent cheesesteaks and a wide array of other sandwiches and entrees. My wife and I used to eat there periodicallyContinue reading “Johnny’s Back and Hasn’t Lost a Step”
My First Cheesesteak of 2024 – From Van Horn’s of Media, PA
It’s been a while since my last post. I hit the proverbial wall with regard to eating cheesesteaks and most of the other types of food I had been writing about for over two years and have been in a sort of self-imposed detox for the past couple months. Blogging had started feeling like aContinue reading “My First Cheesesteak of 2024 – From Van Horn’s of Media, PA”
Trying the new Steak at a Favorite Burger Joint
I’ve already raved about Relish of Milmont Park, PA, in several earlier posts. They are the sort of old-school hot dog and hamburger joint that I’ve always idealized and sought out while traveling, but never expected to have within 15 minutes of where I live. While I may have mentioned in one of those earlierContinue reading “Trying the new Steak at a Favorite Burger Joint”
A Return Visit to One of Delco’s Best Steak Shops
It’s taken a very filling seven months to do it, but I’ve finally reached the goal I laid out in February of revisiting each of last year’s top ten cheesesteak shops along with the five honorable mentions in preparation for putting out a revised top 20 list this November. The last stop I had toContinue reading “A Return Visit to One of Delco’s Best Steak Shops”
Working My Way Through the Menu at Relish
During this past spring I wrote a couple raves about a new hot dog and burger stand called Relish that opened in Milmont Park, PA, during the spring. It took a very busy schedule and a lot of will-power to prevent me from returning sooner, but I finally made it back there Wednesday to continueContinue reading “Working My Way Through the Menu at Relish”
Stopping for Pizza on the Main Line
There are times when food-opportunity knocks and one came my way early last week when I had to run an errand in Wayne, Pennsylvania. The Main Line town, which was named after Revolutionary War general “Mad Anthony” Wayne, also happens to be the home of a pizzeria that was recently added to my restaurant listContinue reading “Stopping for Pizza on the Main Line”
Trying a Pair of Local Bakeries – and (Possibly) Philly’s Greatest Pastry
It’s been a little longer than usual since my last post. In addition to restaurant schedules being upended by the holiday, I’ve been busy eating the Sunday gravy and pasta that I posted about Monday. I’ve also got plans for a heavy period of eating commencing Saturday and extending through next week. That’s my wayContinue reading “Trying a Pair of Local Bakeries – and (Possibly) Philly’s Greatest Pastry”
Awakening to the Chicken Cutlet
“Don’t sleep on their chicken cutlet.” That’s a suggestion that’s been made to me about a few places in and around Philadelphia when discussing cheesesteaks or roast pork sandwiches on Facebook. But sleep on it I have. Chicken cutlets are probably the third most popular long-roll sandwich to come out of South Philly among theContinue reading “Awakening to the Chicken Cutlet”
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”
