Had a great dinner with our friends Gary and Jodi last night at Oishi in Newtown. It’s byob with a minimal corkage fee of $4 or $5 for one bottle and $7 for two or more. Their sushi is always pristine and their chefs’ creations are very innovative. Their presentation is very appealing, reminding meContinue reading “Oishi in Newtown”

My nephew, Jesse, called me last week to tell me he found a restaurant that I would love. Being, at all times, on the lookout for new places to chow down well, I thanked him and booked a table. I called my Uncle Ronnie and Aunt Abby who are often available for last minute plans.Continue reading “Le Onde Ristorante in Elkins Park”

Usually, when the State stores display their Chairman’s Selections they say something like: $19.99. Sells elsewhere for $45. This is misleading. If you use your Vivino app you’ll usually find the national average price is about $18-$23. On occasion, they have a real steal like this one: They are selling it for $19.99. Vivino saysContinue reading “If you can find it, buy it!”

This great pizza place also has a truck that they take to the farmers market every Sunday in downtown Summit. Of course, it’s BYOB, perfect for those $8 to $14 bottles of red that you’ve bought and don’t know anything about. Simple, plain, delicious. Truly Italian in concept and creation.

Went out this weekend with our friends Vince and Claudia. (She, like Barb, is a little camera shy, so you only get to see Vince.) We’ve been going here for many years and are especially fond of their Eggplant Parmigiana. Every Mother’s Day we are required by our daughters to bring a tray of thisContinue reading “Florentino’s in Newtown, PA”

Relax. Enjoy with some mellow music or with someone close. Put up your feet.

This was an awesome meal. I delude myself that it’s low carb, so not unhealthy. I didn’t gain any weight. So other than the 76ers losing their playoff game, it was a perfect night.

I’ve been wanting to eat at Vida and Comida for quite a while. I love their food and wish there were more authentic Spanish restaurants and chefs around my homes. I feel that Spain has taken over the spot of “top countries for innovative cuisine.” I’ve always been a fan of paella and flan, butContinue reading “Vida and Comida in Ambler, PA”

Went to dinner last night with Marla and David, our daughter and son-in-law. We always want to treat them to a special dinner, so we took them to a very special restaurant. We have been following the career of Alex Cormier for at least 30 years. We first discovered him in Philly at his firstContinue reading “Broadmoor in Lambertville just keeps getting better!”
