The Best of Both Worlds.

Life is about balance. If you order a salad, you should also order something deep fried, or covered in chocolate…or both! So that’s just what I did. I highly recommend both the Misticanza Salad and the Buttermilk Hush Puppies at Loch Bar in the Four Seasons in the Harbor East Neighborhood in Baltimore. This salad…

[AFD] Always Factor Dessert

All good meals start with a solid appetizer (or two). The menu at the Carlyle is not the largest I’ve seen, however their options are fantastic! To start, we had the Blue Crab Fritters – with roasted red peppers and grilled cry salsa and the Tune Poke – Ahi Tuna, guacamole, ginger, cilantro & spicy…

Thank goodness for the Butcher.

I read menus for fun, watch the food network for research and talk about food to anyone who will listen to feed my soul. It’s no surprise that taking the first bite of my burger at the Butcher & the Burger in Chicago  was a moment of pure bliss. For some, the burger experience at this fine establishment…

A Plate of Beauty!

I have been jogging past The BoatHouse in Canton for almost a year before I made plans to have dinner there. I was blow away by the menu selection, the atmosphere and extremely tasty food. I started off with the Meatballs: Slow cooked Turkey Meatballs: Charred onion tomato sauce, feta, garlic baguette – these were…

Intrigue got the best of me…

Chips are a weakness of mine…the crunch, the salt; what’s not to like? I took a risk and ordered the Huevos Ranchditos. Translation: Ale Mary’s own Taco in a BAG (Dorito chips, seasoned ground sirloin, Lettuce, Tomato, Cheddar & jack cheeses) served on a plate & topped with crisp bacon, 2 eggs any style, sour cream &…

Superior Grill: Perfecto!

I’ve been to lots of Mexican restaurants and each have a different vibe. Now I’m not sure if it was the delicious pomegranate  margarita or the free chips and salsa, salsa in which I could of drank from the bowl mind you, but Superior Grill had it going on. From the minute you walk in and…

Here, Chick-A-Dilly, Dilly, Dilly

Sometimes the best foods come out of the smallest towns…and that is very true for Fried Chicken in Homer, Louisiana. I was told by all the locals that this is the very best fried chicken in all the land, and boy were they right! The chicken breading melts in your month and has such a…

Home of the Famous Meat Pies!

It’s very hard for me to pass up anything thats famous, specifically food. When I was told I was going to be visiting the charming city of Natchitoches, Louisiana AND eating a world famous meat pies, a smile formed on my face that could not be messed with. The line was out the door upon…

Don’t hold the walnuts…

This Chicago native may have just found the best pizza on the east coast. I was completely blown away by the pie at HomeSlyce in Baltimore. This pizza is truly incredible. Typically I alternate hawaiian, buffalo chicken and margarita pizza but the “HomeSlyce Classic” caught my attention and I couldn’t look away. Just listen to these…
