September 17, 2014 Gene’s ChineseFlatbread Cafe
Mark (fortunately) forgot his lunch last week, making it an excellent opportunity to head out to Gene’s Chinese Flatbread cafe over in Downtown Crossing. This tiny restaurant is packed at lunch time – great idea to come early or late – or just take out. There are only a few items on the menu: the […]

August 26, 2014 Voodoo Doughnuts
When we left Keystone on Sunday, the hotel told us to leave at least 4 hours before we needed to get to the airport. Traffic was supposed to be heavy because of the holiday weekend. We got to Denver in no time, and found ourselves driving aimlessly trying to find something to do. And that […]

August 15, 2014 Totto Ramen
Totto Ramen is a small shop on Brighton Ave., sandwiched between a hair salon and Tavern on the Square. There’s no place to wait inside, so we wait on the street – looking at signs that say no takeout, no delivery and cash only. Standing out on the street brings back memories of when Tavern […]

May 12, 2014 Franklin Fountain
Franklin Fountain has been on my “must go to” list for some time now. I had heard about it years ago on some food show, and now that we were finally in Philly, how could I pass up heading over? Mind you, the day that we decided to go on this Franklin Fountain mission, it […]

May 6, 2014 Tenoch
Mark and I headed out to hunt for new food trucks – and we decided on Tenoch, a food truck serving traditional Mexican tortas (sandwiches) served on telera bread. The guys on the truck are really great, super friendly. Mark and I both get the Torta Adobada: telera bread, pork with adobo sauce, oaxaca cheese, […]
