Restaurant Review
A Pueblo Tradition
That’s what Pass Key Restaurant in Pueblo, Colorado says of its signature sandwich, the Pass Key Special. It’s an Italian sausage sandwich served on a loaf with lettuce and plenty of mustard, fries and sweet peppers. You can have it with your choice of cheese: American, Swiss or Provolone. I chose provolone to go with [...]
Spinach Cannelloni with Fontina
This was my first time to cook Cannelloni. My first taste of this was when my cousin had just come back from studies in the US and prepared it for one family gathering during our teens. My cousin is really a gifted man in the kitchen. It’s a trait he got from his godmother [...]
Muffuletta of Central Grocery in New Orleans
It was more than 2 years ago when Spouse and I went to New Orleans on a day trip from Biloxi, Mississippi. I fell in love with the city even before we set foot in it. On our approach to the city, the car radio was tuned to a local station that was playing the [...]
Culver’s Frozen Custard
Culver’s is a restaurant made famous by their mouth-watering ButterBurger. I have to do another post on their burger when I have photos. Ohhh……mmm….and if I remember to take a shot before I take a bite. They’re a 22-year old restaurant chain out of Wisconsin, the state made famous by cheese. Spouse and I like [...]
Steak Dinner
This was the Steak Dinner we had last night, with a few of the ingredients I used to prepare the meal. I have to admit, the steak was not perfectly medium the way I planned it….more medium-well, which is not all that perfect for a piece of good steak. I used a little under a [...]
Old Heidelberg Restaurant and Deli – Colorado Springs
Spouse took me to see “Brokeback Mountain” this afternoon Before we headed downtown, we decided to try the Quizno’s $2.99 roast beef sub they’ve been advertising on tv. We’ve never tried Quizno’s before and thought this new item would be interesting with the au jus. Well, that was the plan anyway. We made the wrong [...]
What Does John Chow Have To Do With Food?
You won’t find much SEO, Internet Mogul, Marketing and Web Tips here, we pretty much stick to food and Philippine living. But I came across a “How To Make Money On Line” guy a couple months back name of John Chow, and in between all his Internet-guruing and how to make a million blog posts [...]
Bretto’s Fine Meat & Deli Shop – Angeles, Pamapanga (Post 2)
Brats and potato salad.Yup, those are both bratwursts served with a Potato Salad. The lighter one is a veal brat and the darker one is pork. Both seemed to be deep-fried which made them split from their casings. Spouse said he never tasted a more authentic veal bratwurst since he lived in Germany. I thought [...]
Bretto’s Fine Meat and Deli Shop – Angeles City, Pampanga (Post 1)
We found this pretty well-stocked little delicatessen along Fields Avenue some weeks back. There’s also a restaurant on the premises that serves Italian, Australian and some Filipino dishes. That Beef and Mushroom Pie pictured here is one of their specialties – absolutely delicious.They also have sangas – an Australian sub sandwich which we still have [...]
Clubhhouse Sandwich
What’s in your clubhouse sandwich? Do you even belong to a club? Whether or not you do, I’m sure you’re familiar with the Clubhouse Sandwich. Apparently, different clubs have different ingredients in their clubhouse sandwich.
Minsky’s Pizza – Kansas City, Missouri
Minsky’s is located in the City Market complex on the old River Market district of Kansas City. I seem to have lost most of my photos from that trip, please click on the links to learn more about this landmark of Kansas City. It was Labor Day Monday when we were there and most [...]
The Best Barbecue in the World: Arthur Bryant’s Barbecue. Kansas City
I first heard of Arthur Bryant’s Barbecue from Calvin Trillin’s book, “American Fried”. Several years ago, I picked up a cheap copy of the book at that second hand book outlet they have in every SM Mall in Metro Manila. I loved everything about the book: the author, the food, the mood, the places [...]
