While Middle-Eastern has never been among my favorite cuisines, I do crave it every once in a while. One such instance occurred earlier this month, and a little online research led me in the direction of Desert Rose in Media, Pennsylvania. Media is a short ride from us, so we eat in its downtown, whichContinue reading “Brisket with a Middle Eastern Accent”

Finding a New Go-to Cheesesteak in My Area
It’s been at least a couple years since the two steak shops that had been my go-to spots when I craved a cheesesteak and wanted to stay close to home took turns for the worse. One moved further from where I live and no longer qualified for a quick pick-up on short notice, while theContinue reading “Finding a New Go-to Cheesesteak in My Area”
Our Dim Sum Tradition Lives On in the Suburbs
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.

The former was Bittersweet Kitchen of Media, PA, the county seat of Delaware County. The latter was the classic American breakfast of biscuits topped with sausage gravy. I liveContinue reading “A Welcome Midweek Brunch in Media, PA”
A Return to Old-School Cantonese
Incredibly, for the second Sunday in a row, my wife asked if I’d like to accompany her on an errand and suggested I pick a place for us to grab a bite to eat in the vicinity of where we’d be. There are few words I enjoy hearing more than any combination that adds upContinue reading “A Return to Old-School Cantonese”
A Between-Cheesesteaks Chinese Food Interlude
My wife said the magic words to me Sunday: “Would you like to go to Trader Joe’s tonight? You can pick a place for us to have dinner near there.” I never need to be asked something like that a second time. Media is the county seat of Delaware County, Pennsylvania. It’s got a niceContinue reading “A Between-Cheesesteaks Chinese Food Interlude”
