I spent the day in Philadelphia yesterday and just had to make my pilgrimage to Tony Luke’s in South Philly for one of its juicy, succulent and overall perfect roast pork sandwiches. Tony Luke’s cheesesteaks ($7.25) are amazing (I like mine with sautéed onions and white American cheese), but my all-time favorite is the roast [...]

Two-time James Beard award-winning chef and co-owner, Sarah Stegner, turns out inventive, high-quality food in the Chicago North Shore suburbs town of Northbrook, and I’m thrilled to have had the opportunity to dine at her establishment, Prairie Grass Cafe.

I must have had a Jewish grandma in a previous life because I love Jewish / Kosher comfort food.
I’m typically the one to take the lead on planning our dinners out among my friends, so when someone else researches and books a reservation at a new place, I am thrilled.

Granted, there were just a couple ‘real’ diners in the Ft Lauderdale area, but I always recognized the appeal of homey, comfort food in a relaxed atmosphere. After arriving in New Jersey, [...]
CulinAriane, as the name suggests, is all about graduate, Chef-Owner Ariane Duarte’s culinary prowess. The staff is courteous and knowledgeable, the space in foodie mecca, Montclair, is warm and inviting, but the reason patrons are drawn to this cozy spot is the fabulous food. On a recent visit, my party was offered an outdoor, curbside [...]
Some might say that breakfast is just…breakfast, but for me, this first meal of the day might just be my favorite. Going out to breakfast is an opportunity to indulge in dishes one doesn’t always have time to prepare at home: corned beef hash, eggs benedict, homemade granola, good sausage and more. When I go [...]
Stayed at The Venetian for a conference and was thrilled by the many dining options available to me on the premises. After some consideration, I opted to dine at CarneVino, a dining establishment by Mario Batali and Joe Bastianich. I was excited to make this meal my ‘high-end’ meal while in Last Vegas and was [...]
