Note: This dish and the process described here can be found in recipe form at the bottom of the post. My initial plan for this week’s post was to write about my visit to North Jersey to eat at one of the last remaining tiki-bar-Polynesian-style Chinese restaurants in the eastern United States. Unfortunately, when weContinue reading “Sunday Gravy with Short Ribs and Italian Sausage”

A Productive Day at South Philly’s Italian Market
The menus at most of Philadelphia’s Italian sandwich shops tend to look similar. They don’t all serve cheesesteaks, but you can count on seeing an array of hoagies, as well as hot sandwiches featuring roast pork and beef, chicken cutlets, meatballs and a few other stand-bys. But one shop has steered away from the standard approachContinue reading “A Productive Day at South Philly’s Italian Market”
Driving South on I-95 for Crab Cakes
Anyone who has had a top-notch crab cake in Maryland knows that they are a world apart from what is served under that label in other parts of the country.

But I’ve already posted my list of the tenContinue reading “The Ten Best Things I Ate In 2022”
Red Sausage Gravy
I’ve posted several times about my Sunday or red gravy. I tend to crave it, as well as the process of making it, when the weather starts to turn cooler in the fall. The types of meat I use to flavor the gravy sometimes depends on what I have in the freezer. That happened toContinue reading “Red Sausage Gravy”
Stepping Up My Sunday Gravy Game with Pork Neck Bones
One of the reasons I went with a cheesesteak instead of pasta Saturday at Johnny Paisano’s was my plan to spend Sunday making red gravy with sausage. I tend to make fairly large batches of Sunday Gravy and eat it over pasta on a nearly nightly basis until it’s gone. And I was extra psychedContinue reading “Stepping Up My Sunday Gravy Game with Pork Neck Bones”
