Recipes, Restaurant Reviews, and Travel
A representative for Hamilton Beach contacted me to see if I would be interested in trying out their Electric Indoor Searing Grill in exchange for an honest review of the product. With the weather still unpredictable and a bit cold, I jumped at the opportunity to try grilling indoors with something new. I was especially... Continue Reading →
Fried calamari is probably one of the most popular appetizers at restaurants. I know my friends and family almost always have an order if it's available on the menu. That doesn't mean that every order of calamari is equal in the mouth of the beholder. There are a variety of ways to make the dish.... Continue Reading →
Considering that our birthdays are a week apart, my wife and I have a tradition where in lieu of birthday gifts, we go out for a nice meal where we splurge more than we normally might. Having tried many of the restaurants in Providence and not being able to make it up to Boston lately,... Continue Reading →
Good barbecue in the Northeastern U.S. is hard to find. It's like to trying to find a real New York style bagel anywhere outside of New York.

I'm also familiar with the fact that there isn't much in the way of diverse cuisine there other than chain or fast food style restaurants. That's why I was so excited when I heard that a new...

Real, authentic Italian lasagna is made with a creamy bechamel sauce as is the Italian dish called "Pasticcio" (which translates to "mess" apparently!). The delicious red-sauce version of lasagna we have in America is great, but it's not the same as what the rest of the world usually eats. Italy, however, isn't the only place... Continue Reading →
Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays for the obvious reasons such as family, food, and compressing all of the year's gratitude into one waist-expanding day. I especially enjoy all of the wonderful, traditional foods that accompany the meal such as turkey, mashed potatoes, and stuffing, but I've never really been a huge fan of... Continue Reading →
