Recipes, Restaurant Reviews, and Travel
This is a fairly quick and simple post that's really just here to complement a few other dishes. More specifically this savory yogurt sauce goes extremely well with grilled lamb, chicken, grape leaves, homemade gyros, and salads. There are a lot of different ways to make this cucumber yogurt or Greek tzatziki-like sauce/dressing/dip. The few truths... Continue Reading →
In full disclosure, I'm personally acquainted with the owners and employees of the Lotus Pepper food truck. That means my review may be a little biased, but generally, I tried my best to be objective. It didn't hurt their cause though that I happen to love Vietnamese food, which Lotus Pepper specializes in serving! What... Continue Reading →
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 →

Of course there is the common turkey at Thanksgiving, and spiral ham, or beef roast at other occasions, but we also have other requirements. Often, before Christmas... Continue Reading →
My brother's 30th birthday celebration occurred this past weekend and I wanted to take him to a mid-level steakhouse for dinner. Due to the fact that it was also Mother's Day weekend, I couldn't find any local steakhouses that could accommodate a large party (about 10 people) on a Saturday night. The only place that...

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 →
