You won’t find a lot of hot dog posts when searching through this blog’s archives. In addition to my general preference for burgers, cheesesteaks and various other sandwiches, there simply aren’t that many shops or restaurants that specialize in hot dogs in the Philly region. We tend to veer toward the sort of long-roll sandwichesContinue reading “Washing My First Ridley Ripper Down With a Coney”

Satisfying My Meatball Sandwich Craving
I had been jonesing for a meatball sandwich for what seemed like a long time. The last one I ate was from DiNic’s at the Reading Terminal Market in early October of last year – and that was the first one I had eaten in quite a while. A little over seven months may notContinue reading “Satisfying My Meatball Sandwich Craving”
Pinch Me – I Think I’m Dreaming
In a few early posts, I wrote about my food-themed travels primarily in the Midwest and New England. One of the restaurant genres for which I was always on the make during those trips was old-school hamburger and hot dog joints with an abundance of roadfood charm. Carl’s Drive-In just outside of St. Louis andContinue reading “Pinch Me – I Think I’m Dreaming”
A New Pizzeria and the Expectations Game
I had planned on returning to posting about food today with a cheesesteak report. But my wife mentioned an interest in pizza Saturday and there is a pizzeria near us I had been wanting to try since discovering them online a couple months ago. So the steak will hold until later in the week. HunnypieContinue reading “A New Pizzeria and the Expectations Game”
‘Tis the Season
It’s the time of year when seasonal ice cream businesses spring to life, including my two favorites from among several soft-serve stands within a short drive from where I live. Barones, which I wrote about last year, and Richman’s both returned to serving their delicious concoctions within the past few weeks. We’ve known about andContinue reading “‘Tis the Season”
Back on the Cheesesteak Trail
At least for blogging purposes, I’ve left the kitchen for the time-being and returned to more familiar territory – the steak shop circuit. It had been two weeks since my last cheesesteak going into Wednesday’s lunch. That’s when I made the 20-minute drive over to Wolf’s Superior Sandwiches in Aston, PA. The steak I ateContinue reading “Back on the Cheesesteak Trail”
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”
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”
Lunch at an Old-School Pizzeria and Steak Shop
My friend Joe was back in the area to visit family and asked if I was free for lunch Saturday. It was an offer I couldn’t refuse and we set about determining where to go. As Broomall, PA is centrally located between my home and where he’d be, we looked at a couple restaurants thereContinue reading “Lunch at an Old-School Pizzeria and Steak Shop”
An Italian Hoagie with Staying Power
I’ve devoted a disproportionate amount of posts to sandwiches. While most of those have been about cheesesteaks, I’ve also written on corned beef, pastrami, meatball, roast pork and roast beef sandwiches. But with the exception of including a single shot of one I had eaten before starting this blog in a post on local mealsContinue reading “An Italian Hoagie with Staying Power”
