Alpine Bakery

Tasty Over-Stuffed Cannoli

Also, tasty… lobster tails

But, we thought there was a bit too much whipped cream in the pastry cream filling. (Lobster Tails, also known as Sfogliatelle, traditionally have a cannoli-like ricotta and semolina filling. We both prefer them that way.) […]

Patel Brothers

Kantola

Patel Brother’s new space a few doors down from it’s old location is larger, easier to navigate, and stocked with tons of fresh, new stuff. The produce was incredibly fresh. The ginger was some of the freshest I’ve seen in a grocery store. And, the kantola gourds (pictured above) […]

SMOKEJACK

Betty invites you in. (One of us loves Betty. Cleary, someone at Smokejack does, too.) We found Smokejack by chance about 2 years ago. We’ve been loving it ever since.

Fried Pickles

We’re not usually fans of fried pickles. But, these were really good. Part […]

Rolled Tea @ Bu-Hi Farmers Market

Pearl Ku Ding Tea

Rose Green Tea

Both of these gorgeous teas were purchased at Buford Highway Farmers Market for approximately $10 each. Given the quantity and quality, that’s an incredible bargain.

White Chocolate Grill in Lone Tree

White Chocolate Grill in Lone Tree, Colorado

“Perfectly Grilled Atlantic Salmon”

Pretty cocky… huh? But, you know what? It was just about perfect.

White Chocolate Martini (aka dessert #1)

Healthy dinner means we can have two […]

Swallow at the Hollow

Ribs, Mac N Cheese, Brunswick Stew & Griddled Biscuit

There’s a lot to love at The Swallow at the Hollow. Set down a quiet side street with a gravel path leading to make-shift parking under the trees, we feel like we’re visiting friendly neighbors. A mountain of chopped wood decorates […]

Luciano’s Ristorante

Scallops, Artichokes & Crispy Pancetta

The area surrounding Mall of Georgia is a dead zone for restaurants. So, in a moment of hungry desperation, we decided to give Luciano’s a chance. And, we’re glad we did. With an interesting 80’s white on white meets Abercrombie interior, we weren’t sure what […]

Salted Caramel & Maple Bacon Brittle @ Morelli’s

Salted Caramel & Maple Bacon Brittle

Given the light color, we were shocked by the richness of this salted caramel ice cream. The buttery caramel flavor reminds me of sticky toffee pudding. Love it!

And, the maple bacon brittle is oddly addictive. The genius is the super-thick brittle […]

Patak Meats

Mortadella & Black Forest Ham

Yet another visit to Patak Meats… No matter how many times we visit, we never tire of their Black Forest ham. It’s simply divine. Tender, sweet and smoky… it’s just about perfect. When the weather starts to warm up, we enjoy sandwiches for dinner. Only […]

Veranda Greek Taverna

Lamb, Potato Croquettes, & Green Beans

We enjoyed our recent lunchtime visit to Veranda. The entire tapas menu is $5 per selection. Two grilled lamb chops with wine reduction, two potato fritters and a nice little serving of green beans with garlic and olive oil for $5. We were pleasantly […]
