Recipes, Restaurant Reviews, and Travel
I've heard a few less than kind statements made about lamb from lamb haters over the years. Many of them say that lamb is "too gamey." I'm the first to state that when lamb isn't fresh or prepared properly, it can have a less than desirable taste. However, fresh lamb, prepared the right way, should... Continue Reading →
Man Fuel Comment: The author of this guest post, Mandy, contacted me out of the blue wondering if she could submit a post for this blog. I don't know Mandy personally, so I didn't know what to expect, but once she sent me her story (below), I knew I needed to share her post with... Continue Reading →
Fried hard boiled eggs are hands down my brother's favorite holiday food. I love them too, but he can put them away with alarming speed. We've had occasions where his plate is just a pile of yolks (he only eats the egg whites) with almost no other food on it. The almost unpronounceable Egyptian name... Continue Reading →
I haven't been to many hot pot restaurants and when I was younger I used to scoff at the idea that you had to complcook your own food at a restaurant. I mean, what are you paying for if not someone else cooking your food for you? Nonetheless, a few years ago, I tried hot... Continue Reading →

I've passed by Gennaro's Eatery more times than I can count. I always thought to myself that I'd like to try their food, but nothing about the outside of their restaurant impressed an urgent need to do so even though their slogan is "Family Dining With Flair." I read some reviews and they seemed on... Continue Reading →
A few weeks ago my friends, Double Down, Dirty (yes, we call him Dirty), and I went to the last session of the Drink Craft Beer Spring Beer Fest. The theme this time around was hoppy beers like IPA's. Upon entering the Beer Fest, which was at Space 57 at the Revere Hotel in Boston,... Continue Reading →
Eat like a Pharaoh! I don't care how you spell it (Molokhia, Molokheya, Mulukhiya) or what you call it (Jews Mallow, Jute Mallow, Mallow Leaves) because regardless of the name, this is one of my favorite comfort foods. It is a traditional Egyptian soup that was typically eaten by royalty in Ancient Egypt, but eventually... Continue Reading →
