Saturday, September 4th, 2010

The award winning "Armenian" sandwich is available at Jerusalem Market, 5002-H High Point Road near Sedgefield Florist. It's a must try. Spiced dried beef filet, sliced thin with provolone cheese with baba ghanouj (mixture of eggplant, lemon, and garlic) and yogurt cucumber sauce. I got mine with hot peppers. Served with ...

RECESSION: Sorry, you can’t eat here.

Wednesday, July 21st, 2010

I know the recession is real because I'm in the retail furniture business. On Wednesday night I decide I'm going to take the family out to eat. 50 minute wait at Outback. 35 minute wait at Olive Garden. Even 20 minute waits at Ruby Tuesday's and Chilis. We finally ended up eating ...

Thai Bangkok: Maybe The Best Thai Dish Ever.

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

The Ocean's Nest at Thai Bangkok located at 3935 Brian Jordan Place. Sauteed seafood (and lots of it) combined with onions, broccoli, napa, carrots, mushrooms, bell peppers, zucchini, and green onions in the house spicy sauce. If you dare get it "Thai Hot" you'll need the outer layer of cabbage to cool ...

Seared Scallops and Grit Pudding

Saturday, June 19th, 2010

It was a tough call between the Panko crusted seared scallops over warm Gorgonzola and grit pudding topped with thyme, cranberry, and red onion marmalade or the Grouper over roasted cauliflower and garlic mash, collard greens topped with cream corn. The scallop dish (shown) won. And Thursday is $5 Martini night with ...

Duck & Collards. Scallops & Brussel Sprouts

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

From The Bistro At Adams Farm. Duck and collard green spring rolls served with cranberry and leek marmalade. Seared scallops over parsnip chive puree with sauteed brussel sprouts. Not pictured, we tried the cajun fried chicken breast over sweet corn chowder with potato, zuchinni, bacon succotash. Incredible. One of the best scallop dishes I ...

Filet Of Soul Opens On Groometown Road

Friday, January 8th, 2010

The Filet Of Soul Restaurant opened at 3601 Groometown Road last week (corner of Groometown and Vandalia, Food Lion Shopping Center). So today I tried it for the first time having the diet plate you see in the photo. Smothered pork chops (incredible), fried okra, cornbread with fat back, cabbage, and mac ...

compliments of GIACOMO’S on new garden road

Wednesday, December 30th, 2009

I miss Giac being on High Point Road. Check out the fresh mozzarella, prosciutto, marinated eggplant, zucchini,  and mushrooms. Then the broccoli raab (cross between broccoli and spinach) and what may be the best roasted red peppers on the face of the earth. The smell of olive oil and garlic permeates the ...
