Small Bites Radio – Episode 179

EPISODE SUMMARY

A SHOW SO BIG IT IS CLOSE TO 3 HOURS LONG WITH SOME THE BIGGEST NAMES IN THE FOOD INDUSTRY!!!! D and L Coffee Service Inc. presents Small Bites Radio the #1 listed “Food Radio show Philadelphia” and #1 listed “Food Radio show South Jersey”. Stay tuned for the link of our newest episode with a fantastic lineup! #SmallBitesRadio has been named #14 out of the Top 30 Best Hospitality Shows on the planet for 2020-2023, #23 Top Philadelphia Lifestyle Influencer in 2021-2023, 25 Best Philly Food Blogs and Websites in 2023, and nominated by Metro Philly Newspaper as 2023’s Best of Philly Arts & Entertainment.

We are thrilled to chat with Kayla Cappiello the self-professed allergy queen. Kayla has celiac disease, a lactose intolerance, and a nut allergy, and she shares her flavorful and inventive recipes on her popular blog and Instagram (where she has over 50K followers!). She’ll talk about her new cookbook ‘Easy Allergy-Free Cooking: Simple & Safe Everyday Recipes for Everyone’ published by Skyhorse Publishing, Inc.. Kayla’s recipes focus on resourceful ingredient substitutes to satisfy any dietary need so you never have to miss out on your favorite comfort meals while still providing new and innovative recipes to keep things fresh. She includes inventive rice bowls, artisanal cauliflower pizzas, out-of-the-box baked pastas, and one-pan easy weeknight casseroles, while still keeping allergies and healthiness in mind.

Can’t wait to welcome back Chef Philip Manganaro of Park Place Café & Restaurant in Borough of Merchantville, NJ. He’s nominated for the 2023 Restaurant and Chef Awards semifinalists for the James Beard Foundation Awards presented by Capital One in the category of Best Chef: Mid-Atlantic (DC, DE, MD, NJ, PA, VA) where the winners will be announced at the Lyric Opera of Chicago during the James Beard Restaurant and Chef Awards Ceremony on Monday, June 5. He also has a very entertaining documentary called ‘The King of Matsutaki Ridge’ being released soon about himself, his cooking, and the amazing wild foraging of ingredients that he does on his own to create the signature dishes that Chef Philip is world renowned for.

Talking more about wild foraging ingredients we are looking forward to seeing what is going on with Chef Viet Pham, owner of highly successful restaurant Pretty Bird and starring in Hulu ‘Chef Vs Wild’. Chef Viet Pham is also known for Food & Wines Best New Chef, 3x James Beard Foundation Award Semifinalist, and many appearances on many Food Network shows. One of the most popular and successful restaurants in Visit Salt Lake, Pretty Bird Hot Chicken brings Nashville hot chicken to Salt Lake City, offering a stripped-down menu listing just chicken nuggets, tenders and their famous fried chicken sandwich, either one served mild, medium, hot, or “hot ‘behind’.” Their most popular item, the Fried Chicken Sando, features a boneless, skinless chicken thigh fried to crispy perfection and placed on a buttery-sweet bun, finished with cider slaw, pickles and Pretty Bird sauce. Sides include crinkle cut fries, Mexican street corn salad, and cider slaw. They currently have four locations and are working on opening additional restaurants across the US.

Then from Italy to New Jersey we will talk to Giovanni Quattrone the CEO of Paolo Rovagnati US Black Label Line of gourmet cold cut meats by Italian brand Rovagnati. This delicious new line has recently officially launched in New Jersey. This product line brings the finest Italian cold cuts to the US: a celebration of Italian technical know how and the competence in selecting and processing raw materials with a distinctive luxury pack and a clear and creative explanation of how to consume the product to taste it to the best (preferably consumed stand-alone or in “charcuterie boards“). PRODUCED IN ITALY, SLICED IN THE U.S.A.

Another immigrant story brings Stacey Mei Yan Fong to discuss her project and new cookbook ’50 Pies 50 States: An Immigrant’s Love Letter to the United States Through Pie’ published by Voracious Hachette Book Group that can be PRE-ORDERED now and being released on June 13, 2023. Stacey Mei Yan Fong is a home baker living in Brooklyn, NY. She was born in Singapore, lived in Indonesia, grew up in Hong Kong, and moved to the States to pursue a degree from the SCAD – The University for Creative Careers. She spent a decade designing in the fashion industry, and during that time she launched her “50 Pies 50 States” project which led to her slinging pies at Four & Twenty Blackbirds. Now, her pies have been featured by CBS Sunday Morning, NPR, Eater and beyond. Every pie is an opportunity to celebrate–or defend your home state’s honor. With this cookbook, bake your way through and you’ll taste the full range of flavors that America has to offer. With recipes organized like the all-American road trip we’ve all wanted to complete, this book is a journey through the wonders of pie for bakers of all skill levels–and the story of one extraordinary woman who chose to make this place her home.

Warm weather is here again so perfect person to talk to is Josh Hunt is the creator of Josh Hunt Griddlin, an online resource dedicated to sharing recipes and instructional cooking videos. A leader in the griddling and grilling sphere, Josh has partnered with brands like Blackstone, Meat Church BBQ, Traeger Grills and The Burger Smasher. He also won the first ever Golden Spatula Award in Blackstone’s Great Griddle Off contest.

Thanks to this all-encompassing guidebook from griddling pro Josh Hunt, you’ll confidently commandeer your Blackstone in no time. Though it might be tempting to serve juicy Jalapeño & Onion Triple Smash Burgers on a weekly (or daily!) basis, you don’t have to limit yourself to beef— make mouthwatering breakfasts, pizzas, tacos, noodle dishes and even desserts on your griddle in addition to all your favorite grill classics. Start your morning with a stack of Blackstone Buttermilk Pancakes, whip up Griddled Shrimp Pad Thai with ease or wow even the toughest food critic with Josh’s bold recipe for Bananas Foster French Toast Grilled Cheese. Armed with this expert guide, your Blackstone will quickly become your go-to cooking tool for every awe-worthy meal of the day.

Mullica Hill Donut Co & Pancake House – (322 BBQ) Mullica Hill, NJ

Posted on

Mullica Hill Donut Co & Pancake House – (322 BBQ) Mullica Hill, NJ

SmallBitesRadio has been named #14 Top Hospitality Shows on the Planet for 2020, 2021, and 2022, #Bluejeanfood.com being named #18 Top Philadelphia Lifestyle Blogs, Websites & Influencers of 2021 and 2022, and being nominated as #MetroPhilly Newspaper 2022 Best of Philly Arts & Entertainment.

Who would have ever thought that BBQ, donuts, eggs, and pancakes would be a perfect match. The mastermind of Mullica Hill Donut Co & Pancake House at 322 BBQ – A.K.A – Hill Donuts must have known and it is a treat to eat here for breakfast or brunch. The namesake is donuts so lets start there. The banana creme brulee donut is simply divine! It’s the perfect combination of creamy and crunchy, with a soft and fluffy dough that’s infused with the delightful flavor of ripe bananas. The luscious cream filling is smooth and velvety, with just the right amount of sweetness, and the golden caramelized sugar on top adds a heavenly crunch that’s simply irresistible. As you take a bite, you’ll be greeted with a heavenly explosion of flavor and texture that will tantalize your taste buds and leave you wanting more. Each bite is a symphony of flavors and textures that’s perfectly balanced and exquisitely crafted. This donut is truly a work of art and is a must-try that will leave you utterly delighted and satisfied. You won’t be disappointed. So how can you compete with that? How about 322’s signature bbq brisket in a hash topped with two eggs. This dish is sure to tantalize your taste buds. Imagine tender and flavorful chunks of smoky, slow-cooked brisket that have been mixed with perfectly crisped diced potatoes, peppers, and onions, all tossed together in a skillet and served with two perfectly cooked eggs on top. With each bite, you’ll experience a perfect combination of flavors and textures: the savory richness of the brisket, the slightly crispy and salty potatoes, peppers, and onions, and the creamy goodness of the eggs. The combination of smoky BBQ sauce and the runny egg yolk creates a truly indulgent and satisfying dish that will leave you feeling completely satisfied. What else do you say? Well the cinnamon sugar donut and the Oreo pancake were no slackers either. This place is a palace of flavors and you really need to go to experience it. There is limited indoor seating, but they have plenty of seating outdoors which will be perfect to enjoy with the warm weather returning. You can thank me later.

Dominic’s Tavern – Bellmawr, NJ

Dominic’s Tavern is consistently mentioned on lists of best wings in South Jersey. There is a good reason why. The fat daddy sauce which is their special sauce is a little different from the ordinary wings flavor or sauce. A mixture of cheddar cheese, buffalo sauce, and ranch it really goes well with their wings that were cooked perfectly, meaty, and juicy. I also had their roast pork sandwich with sharp provolone and side of fires. The portion size was very large for the price and was good as well. They are a good choice for some good food and wings.

Old town charm and friendly service are the highlights of this neighborhood eatery. The prices are very reasonable for the large portions and the menu is very varied as you would expect from a diner. I had their fried seafood special with fried shrimp, flounder, scallops, onion rings, and sides of sauteed veggies and green beans. No big surprises here, but we did leave happy and full.

The Rancocas Woods area has lots of craft shows, fairs, and other events regularly. You can even visit most days to check out the stores and other establishments around the area with a quick stroll around the complex. A quick stop if hungry is the The Hot Dog Shack and they are putting out nice hot dogs, soft pretzels, and fresh squeezed lemonade at a decent price point. I went with the chili dog that hit the spot. You should explore this area if you have never been.

This place has so many interesting and different flavors not seen in many other places. It was hard to choose, but I went with the Cumin Flavor Beef. It was a tad spicy with a combination of spices and chili peppers in the perfect combination. The meat was not fatty at all and each bite was tender with fresh veggies to enjoy. The lunch special also came with wonton soup that was better than your average version. I will try some more items on the menu next time in the area.

This place is very cool. From the beers, food, ambiance, and vibe it’s a perfect mix of them all. Most important though I really enjoyed the food. I had their House Russet BBQ Chips with Caramelized Onion Dip, Wood-Fired Whole Wings with Kansas City BBQ Sauce, Scallion, and Buttermilk Ranch, Full Rack of Baby Back Ribs, Brisket Mac & Cheese, coleslaw, and collard greens. Parking can be a challenge, but they are just steps away from the Bryn Mawr station on Septa’s Norristown High-Speed Line. The prices were reasonable for everything and the service was very personable, quick, and friendly. If in the area you should really give them a try.

This restaurant is flat out great, wonderful, fantastic, awesome, etc. Whatever word you want to describe them would be correct if the theme of the thought is a place you must eat at. I had a really nice experience and dining here in person is a highlight. From the robot server, hot pot flame on the table, to ordering completely on your phone is part of the charm. Everything was VERY delicious and would order the same thing again over and over. I had fried pork dumplings, fish fillet in a hot and spicy pot, shredded pork with garlic sauce, and salted spicy pork. Highly recommend a visit here!

1911 Smoke House Barbeque – Trenton, NJ

1911 Smoke House Barbeque – Trenton, NJ

SmallBitesRadio has been named #14 Top Hospitality Shows on the Planet for 2020, 2021, and 2022, #Bluejeanfood.com being named #18 Top Philadelphia Lifestyle Blogs, Websites & Influencers of 2021 and 2022, and being nominated as #MetroPhilly Newspaper 2022 Best of Philly Arts & Entertainment.

Whenever I hear announcements from Trenton, New Jersey my first thought is the addition of some new property tax or other bit of bad news. It’s not often I get excited about the things going on or coming out of Trenton. Well 1911 Smoke House and Chef/Owner Reggie Hallett has changed that thought drastically for me. This place is a gem and is the best thing going on there possibly since the pork roll industry. They need to be recognized not only because they are serving delicious food, but also due to their ridiculously budget friendly prices while everything else around us has exploded in cost. Their description on Google is spot on ‘Down-to-earth staple for smoked meats, with patio seating, sports on TV & a bar’. I went with their half portion of ‘Try a lil bit of everything’ which was a half rack of ribs, brisket, half a chicken, corn bread, mac & cheese, and collard greens as well as a small order of smoked and grilled wings with habanero mango sauce all for less than $40. Just crazy prices for good food these days! Everything was wonderful and really high quality. The chicken options really stood out as the half chicken and wings were so plump, juicy, seasoned well, and very flavorful. The other items weren’t far behind. The ribs were moist and tender, the brisket was spot on yummy, mac & cheese old school greatness, collard greens not hard at all and filled with flavor, and cornbread just a delight. I also enjoyed trying all of their different sauce options. This spot needs to be celebrated. The good news is that they have expanded into Terminal A at Newark Liberty International Airport with an eighty seat restaurant and twenty-four person bar available to dine at for travelers around the world to experience how good New Jersey BBQ can and should be and the statement ‘Trenton Makes, the World Takes’ is in good hands again. I may have been slow to recognize and become aware of the 1911 Smoke House, but whenever I’m in the area again they can certainly expect to see me.
