While walking through Wayland Square in Providence, RI, I stumbled upon a store called, "The Olive Tap," but it wasn't there the last time I was in Wayland Square, so it surprised me at how fast it must have been set up. Out of the corner of my eye, I spotted rows of shiny silver... Continue Reading →
Chicken Pot Pie Recipe Review (Trader Joe’s Style)
Man Fuel: I'm thrilled to announce yet another Guest Post! This time from Marisela Navarro. She is a pharmacist, turned writer. Although, maybe she's always been a writer considering that she's been writing since she was just a little girl. You can view some of her work on her own blog simply named, "Write," where...

Chiles Rellenos
Man Fuel: I've been trying to get my friend (let's call him "Double Down") to do a guest blog on my site for a few months now. He tells me about a lot of the food he makes and it all sounds great. He's like me in that he's a guy with self-taught cooking skills... Continue Reading →
Pork Wellington Recipe Stuffed with Spinach and Boursin Cheese
I've watched a lot of Hell's Kitchen on TV. That means I've watched a lot of Chef Gordon Ramsay yelling and cussing out many wannabe chefs due to their culinary failures. It also means that I've seen Beef Wellington served and prepared an absurd number of times in one setting. Aside from the fact that... Continue Reading →

We spent less than 24 hours there, but we saw a lot of what Salem has to offer on the off-season (i.e. not Halloween). A few of the highlights included seeing a... Continue Reading →
Bourbon Steamed Burger Recipe
Steaming a burger? Why would anyone do this? It's crazy, right? Well... possibly when done incorrectly. One of the best burgers I've ever eaten in Boston is from Sunset Bar and Grill in Allston where they have over 100 beers on tap. That was the first time I'd ever had a beer steamed burger. The...

Wayland Square Diner Review – Providence, RI
Great breakfasts are hard to find, which is strange when you consider that most people don't set the bar very high for what they're looking for in a breakfast. Most of us that go out for breakfast just want something hot that isn't too greasy or soggy if it's savory or something that isn't too... Continue Reading →
Spicy Tofu Lettuce Wraps
A while ago, a friend told me that he made himself some spicy tofu lettuce wraps. I never really got the full recipe from him, but he did tell me generally what he used to make them. I made some slight ingredient modifications and created my own recipe during Lent one year. Now, I'm not... Continue Reading →
