Taqueria Los Hermanos

Burrito Acapulquenos

Loaded with flaky fish, nearly melt-in-your-mouth tender calamari, and grilled shrimp… this burrito with creamy poblano sauce is stuffed with fish (and, covered in even more fish) was a real winner.  Even though we’ve eaten this before, it was better than we remembered it to be.

Sweet Potato Fry Sundae

Sweet Potato Fries, Vanilla Ice Cream & Caramel Sauce

(AKA Sweet Vanilla Haystack)

Did you ever dip french fries in a vanilla milkshake in high school?  This is better.  The sweet potato fries were perfectly crisp and drizzled with caramel sauce.  We both simultaneously commented that we would have been happy [...]

What Not To Eat

Fried Honey Chicken on Brown Rice

Normally, we pride ourselves on our ability to focus on the positive.  We’re two “glass half full” types.  (most of the time)  Why focus on the negative when there is so much good food to be eaten?  Well, this meal was so ridiculously bad that we [...]

Birthday Cake Milkshake

Zaxby’s Birthday Cake Milkshake

For a fast food milkshake, this is really quite nice.  Birthday cake?  Not really.  But, we both agreed that it did taste of vanilla pudding.  You know the sort of vanilla pudding you see at a cafeteria?  Creamy vanilla pudding layered with ‘nilla wafers and whipped cream… That’s [...]

Gokul's Vada Club

Gokul’s Vada Club Sandwich

We’re huge fans of Gokul Sweet’s vada pav.  So, when two of these club sandwiches appeared in error, we didn’t mind at all.  As a matter of fact, we were happily surprised.  At first glance, this might appear to be an odd interpretation of a club sandwich.  But, [...]

South City Kitchen

Gouda Fritters

…Or, deep-fried gouda balls

The outside is crispy and crunchy.  The inside is filled with warm and gooey gouda begging to be devoured.  They’re easy to love.

The Bread Basket

Warm barely sweet corn muffins & tender baby biscuits… Both were tasty.  But, when the second half [...]

Dark Chocolate Goji Berries & Avocado Oil Chips

Dark Chocolate Covered Goji Berries

With a hard texture that is tougher to chew than your standard raisinette or chocolate covered blueberry, we can’t say they’re our favorite chocolate covered berry.  But, they are interesting.  Some of the goji berries are crunchy… others are chewy.  It’s a bit disconcerting.  They all do [...]

Pistachio Croissant & Plum Galette

Pistachio Croissant

Yes, it’s as good as it looks.  Honestly, it’s probably even better.  Perfectly crisp golden brown layers crackle delicately under your bite.  The interior layers are soft, tender, and buttery with a fresh ground pistachio center as an added bonus.  Yum.

Plum Galette

We were very early.  This [...]

Mast Brothers Chocolate @ Star Provisions

Mast Brothers Dark Chocolate with Cocoa Nibs

There were some serious imperfections with our bar.

Either it was tempered improperly or it experienced some form of mishandling in distribution.  This bar was badly discolored with crystallization and tasted more than a little bit stale.  It was mealy and crumbly [...]

The Lobster Roll @ JCT

Simply Delicious…  The Lobster Roll

One whole lobster (shelled, obviously) is tossed in a simple dressing and heaped into one little toasty Holeman & Finch bun.  The lobster was so tender it was a pleasure to eat.  Apple slaw on the side was a lovely balance of crisp apple and [...]
