The Bayou Boil

Cherrystone Clams On The Half Shell

We could eat these every day of our lives.

So tender and sweetly fresh, these were absolutely lovely with the tiniest drop of lemon. They were just as lovely without any embellishments. None were needed. But, the […]

Mercier Orchards

Mercier Orchards

Breakfast Menu: 7am-11am

While deciding on breakfast, we grabbed a few bags of apples…

Yates (Our Current Favorite)

It’s a little thing of beauty. The skin is incredibly tender and delicate. […]

City Farmers Market

City Farmer’s Market On Buford Highway

From The Bakery Counter

Bánh Patê Sô (Or, pâté chaud)

This one was still warm in the middle. For $1.59, that’s a very hearty snack or a nice little […]

Stroopwafels — Crispy Caramel Waffles

Best stroopwafels ever? They might be.

We can’t say that just yet. (Yet.) We haven’t tried them ALL. (Yet.) But, these are definitely the best that we’ve ever tasted. EV-ER! These were so incredibly fresh. The waffle was crispy and brittle and lightly dusted with the right amount […]

Coconut Ash & Banana — Vosges

Coconut Ash & Banana Super Dark 72% Cacao

The super dark chocolate is lovely and slightly bitter in the best way. But, the coconut ash is unpleasantly crisp and abrasive… in a too hard charred, rocky sort of way. And, this in combination with the banana adds an […]

Mo’s Dark Bar — Vosges

Mo’s Dark Bar Uncured Smoked Bacon & Alderwood Smoked Salt 62% Dark Chocolate

Since we’ve loved every other Vosges bar that we’ve ever tried, we finally gave Mo’s Dark Bar a chance. Shockingly, we both enjoyed it. On first bite, the deep dark chocolate dominates with a lovely smoky background. […]

Pecan Pie M&Ms

Pecan Pie M&Ms

Very interesting… We mildly enjoy the touch of burnt caramel flavor.

We’ll confess to the occasional movie theater purchase of peanut M&M’s. But, we almost never buy plain M&M’s. As a matter of fact, we can’t remember the last time that we’ve eaten […]

El Faro Bakery — Masa Real De Guayaba

Masa Real (Or, Masa Real De Guayaba)

You could just call it a guava pastry. That usually works, too. But, there are a few different versions of “guava pastry”. Another common version of “guava pastry” (Pastelitos, Pastelitos de Guayaba, or Pasteles) stuffs guava paste (and sometimes guava […]

BLVD — Tortoni Ice Cream

Classic Tortoni BLVD Tasty Ice Cream

We must start by saying there weren’t all that many cherries, cookie crumbs or almonds in our pint of ice cream. As a matter of fact, the pieces of cherry that we could find were quite small. And, the […]

Rabbit On The Run — Rabbit Coffee Roasting Co.

Rabbit On The Run (Rabbit Coffee Roasting Co. Cold Brew Concentrated Coffee)

We wouldn’t say this coffee will be a favorite of ours. But, we do love the bottle. If you’re in a pinch (maybe you’re at the office with no time to brew a fresh pot of […]
