Shorty’s Pizza

Eggplant, Sausage & Bacon Pizza

Eggplant, sausage and bacon make for a killer combination on this thin (but, not too thin) crusted wood-fired pizza. The touch of smoke provided by the wood-fired oven adds another built-in element of something special. That sharp smoky bite complemented […]

Spiced Right

BBQ Beef Brisket, Fried Okra, & Potato Salad

Over the years, we could best describe our visits to Spiced Right as a mixed bag of luck. But, it was all good on this visit. No, we take that back. It was all great. Really great. The BBQ Beef […]

Tipsy Pig, Again

BBQ Spare Ribs

Another visit to Tipsy Pig Barbecue… And, we were rewarded with another mountain of fantastic ribs. Just the right amount of spicy, peppery rub brings out the best in this pile of lusciously tender, smoky ribs. So moist and tender, no sauce was needed.

Saffron Rock Candy & Tea

This will make a lovely accompaniment to this weekend’s morning tea… or coffee.

Earl Grey & Cardamom Sugar Crystals

Many of the teas are “buy one get one free”. So, we did. Also, we happily grabbed […]

Dave Poe’s BBQ

Pulled Pork

The pulled pork was the highlight of our meal…. without a doubt.

This pork was full of flavor highlighted by a nice smoke. The crusty bark held in the moisture and kept the meat nice and tender.

Bánh mì @ Lee’s Pho, Again

Banh Mi Thit Nuong

Two Bahn Mi sandwiches for around $6… that’s a seriously good deal.

It all starts with some fresh, crispy crusty bread. Then, these were stuffed with some nice pork, carrot, jalapeno, radish, cucumber, and cilantro.

Both sandwiches […]

Hometown BBQ

Rib & Chicken Combo

Third times the charm right? Apparently, that doesn’t apply to Hometown Barbecue and us. Our hit & miss luck continued on this visit. The ribs were a real hit. They were tender, smoky, moist and full of rich pork flavor. The chicken was another […]

Antico Pizza Napoletana, Another Visit

San Gennaro

Perfect crust, perfect sauce, perfect toppings…

Without a doubt, this is still the best pizza in town. The San Gennaro is topped DOP San Marzano tomatoes, bufala mozzarella, sweet red peppers, sweet cipollini onions and sausage. In our eyes, this is the very definition […]
