Coconut M&Ms

Interesting… for a convenience store candy.

M&M’s

Muss & Turner’s

Deep Fried Collards, Fried Chicken Thighs, & Creamy Cheddar Grits

I’ve always loved deep fried greens. I love the way they crunch and crumble under the most delicate bite. Then, they slowly dissolve on your tongue leaving only the pure essence of their flavor. The bitter greens are used to […]

Pickles with a Side of Burger

Fried Pickles & Burger with More Pickles

The fried pickles were best hot out of the fryer. As they cooled, they got a bit soggy & the sourness became overwhelming. Meanwhile, the burger was generously loaded with more pickles than I’ve ever seen anyone put on a burger. As a […]

Blueberry Acai @ Yogen Fruz

Blueberry – Acai Frozen Yogurt

Tasty… It’s no surprise that these flavors work well in a frozen yogurt. You won’t mistake this for ice cream. It has the distinctive sour tang of most frozen yogurts. But, it was pleasantly creamy and satisfying.

The Dooley

What’s in one of the best pastrami sandwiches we’ve ever eaten? Romanian style pastrami, swiss, horseradish slaw and Russian dressing on a challah bun. The genius of this sandwich is the house-made (update: It’s New York State Brand) warm pastrami. It is nothing short of incredible. Each paper […]

Goldberg’s Bagels

Poppy & Everything Bagels

Another batch of gorgeous bagels from Goldberg’s, their poppy seed bagels are one of my favorites. Poppy seeds smother the top and bottom of each and every bagel. I love that. And, look at all those toasty bits of garlic and sesame seeds on the everything […]

Lemon Ginger Sugar Cookie @ OK Cafe

Lemon Ginger Sugar Cookie

This is my favorite cookie right now. I tend to prefer soft sugar cookies. And, this one is soft, tender & buttery. Close to perfect, this sugar cookie with a delicate use of lemon and crystalized ginger highlights the sweet buttery cookie base. Tender […]
