Side dishes are an often overlooked element of a great meal. Many times, what sets a great meal apart from other similar meals are the side dishes. A poor side dish can really distract from a great entree and a really good side dish can give the illusion of a much better meal. That's why... Continue Reading →
I've been steaming burgers for years since I had my first beer-steamed burger in Boston, MA. Ted's has been doing it for over 50 years! The first time I heard of Ted's was a few years ago while watching an episode of Man vs Food on the Travel Channel. I was immediately entranced by the... Continue Reading →
I've eaten shrimp all of my life in so many different forms. Grilled, fried, stewed, baked, stuffed, with the shell, without the shell, in a sauce, on pizza, with pasta, you name it. When I've had shrimp sandwiches, none were better than the shrimp po' boys I had in New Orleans. Grilled shrimp on a po' boy sandwich... Continue Reading →
I would never have thought to go to James' on my own. That's probably because I don't really know my way around the Wentham/Norwood/Walpole area.

A while ago, my wife and I were hunting for foods we hadn't tried in a Middle Eastern market. As a lover of yogurt and cheese, she spotted a container of Labneh, which is a kind of Arabic Yogurt. It goes by other names and pronunciations as well, like "Labne," "Laban," or, "Kefir Cheese," although... Continue Reading →
After purchasing our new propane grill and effectively hogging it to myself for 4 consecutive dinners, my wife finally declared that she now wanted to use the grill on her own terms. That meant grilling up some eggplant. Personally, I'm not a big fan of eggplant anymore (unless it's in some baba ghanoush!). I got... Continue Reading →
A little while ago, a representative for Kayem contacted me and asked if I would like to sample some of their new line of Artisan Sausages that I could review. I'm not one to pass up free things, so of course I agreed and shortly after I received an incredibly generous package from Kayem. I thought... Continue Reading →
