Varasano’s Pizzeria — Brunch

The Half Moon Dolce (Fontina, Capicola, Dates, Walnuts, Honey & Minced Rosemary)

This pie was practically begging for a glass (or bottle) of wine. Sadly, we were too early.

Note to self: Delay all future brunch meals til noon or later.

Cauliflower Soup With Scallops

If we were superficially grading this soup on its looks, it would’ve received a failing grade.

Not only […]

OB’s BBQ

OB’s Smoky BBQ Spare Ribs

At first glance, the ribs appeared quite dry. After pulling off the first rib, the smoky crust revealed a tender, moist interior. The ribs had plenty of smoke and a decent spice rub. We expected to like these more than we actually did. […]

Biscoff Spread @ World Market

Biscoff Spread (AKA Speculoos)

We’ve known for quite some time that you can buy two bottles of Biscoff Spread on Amazon for about $20 (if you have Amazon Prime). Our curiosity was piqued. We’ve seen it in Europe. There, it’s called Speculoos. But, we’ve never been motivated […]

Guava Soda @ World Market

Bundaberg Guava Sparkling Soda

We’re fans of just about all things guava. And, we were drawn to the gorgeous pinky peach color of this soda. We weren’t disappointed. This is guava in a bottle with a nice bit of fizz. The one downside? It is super sweet. That’s […]

Cinco

Cinco — Suwanee

Chips & Salsa

The salsa was quite enjoyable. The roasted bits contrasted nicely with the bright, fresh cilantro. As a matter of fact, the cilantro was so fresh it was barely wilted.

H&F Bread Co. — Croissant

Le Croissant

H&F Bread Co.’s almond croissant might be our all-time favorite croissant. But, their plain croissant is mighty tasty, too.

1 Croissant + 1 Piping Hot Cappuccino = The Perfect Breakfast

H&F Bread Co.

It’s time for dinner …and a show

We can’t let them go broke.

We’re lucky to live in a city with a diverse group of theaters. But, what if they disappear? A few weeks ago, Creative Loafing’s Curt Holman wrote a tragic piece about the playhouses going broke (or near-broke) all around the city. How […]

Gianduia

Fresh Market’s Gianduia Bar ($3.49)

It shouldn’t be a surprise when an $8 chocolate bar is outstanding. On rare occasions, those $8 bars are surprisingly bad. But, that’s another story. On the other hand, it’s always extremely shocking to us when we find a 3.5 ounce bar for […]

Crimson Raisins @ Fresh Market

Jumbo Crimson Raisins

The color of each individual raisin ranges from deep gold to to bright pink to a purply red.

$4.99 a pound

Now, we’d be the first to tell you… we’re not big raisin fans. As a matter of […]
