This place was a delight. Just when you find a great ramen they go above and beyond with an amazing fried rice. I had their Mini Combo with Fried Rice which is a Mini shoyu ramen and small Japanese fried rice. The shoyu ramen has soy sauce. 2 pieces charsiu, fish cake, spinach, bamboo, wood ear mushroom, and scallion. The ramen really hit the spot, but the surprise was the extremely flavorful Japanese fried rice. This truly was the perfect combo. Highly recommend a visit.

America’s history is not always bright and rosy. Charleston, South Carolina is one such area that has some terrible stories and traditions that took place previously. The past certainly is not forgotten, but it is there for us to remember and never forget so that such atrocities cannot happen again and highly recommend visiting the museums and historical places of the city and surrounding area. You can do and see many things while there, but they have recently been recognized as a culinary destination on top of a lot of other things they are doing well today for arts, entertainment, and recreation. Below are some places I enjoyed while there:
Amen Street Fish & Raw Bar – Charleston, SC
Really nice place and great good. Enjoyed the she-crab soup and shrimp with grits.
Ellis Creek Fish Camp – Charleston, SC
Very cool waterfront dining with great food. Had the calamari and their 3 piece grilled seafood platter with fried oysters and collard greens that were out of this world delicious.
Brown Dog Deli – Charleston, SC
Fun place with nice service, prices, and tasty french dip sandwich.
Handy and Hot – Charleston, SC
Flat out one of the best breakfast biscuit sandwich I’ve ever had. This thing is AWESOME! From celebrity Chef Vivian Howard I can only hope she expands this treat up to the Philadelphia area. It was their country ham biscuit sandwich with vanilla bean lemonade.
Poogan’s Smokehouse – Charleston, SC
Had a lot of fun here with a nice ambiance to the place. Had the cornbread, collard greens, and pulled pork slider.
Charleston Crab House – Charleston, SC
Good old school eatery. Had their Charleston red rice with a fried green tomato.
Christophe Artisan Chocolatier – Charleston, SC
This place is worth the visit just to see all the many creations of treats they make like the red high heels made of chocolate. On top of looking great they taste great as well.
Lil’ Yum Yums – City Market – Charleston, SC
A good snack to enjoy while shopping the City Market’s many blocks of vendors. Had the cinnamon and sugar mini donuts.
Shem Creek Crab House – Mt Pleasant, SC
Another location with a great view while dining. I had their she-crab soup that was really good, U-peel them shrimp, and Chef Terrell’s Famous Cajun Shrimp & Grits.

The amount of times I am truly WOW’d after dining out seems to have become less frequent as I become older. Let me tell you thought that when a WOW moment does arrive, it still seems feels as great as ever. I’ve never had an Elk Burger. After being told that Kid Rip’s Tap & Tavern had one that I just had to try I decided to give it a go. Well they certainly do have a great burger and you should try it as well. It was delicious! Better than some beef burgers I’ve had from some very respected ‘Burger’ places. It was their Elk Burger, 7oz of tender, freshly ground Elk, topped w/ black cherry onion jam & smoked gouda cheese on a toasted brioche bun w/ house made fries. The fries were great and cooked perfectly as well.

Hailing from Philadelphia’s Chinatown district Spice C decided to cross the river for those living in New Jersey to enjoy their fare as well. The service was very friendly and food was delicious. Really enjoyed my visit here. I had pot stickers, shrimp with broccoli, spicy Szechuan shrimp, and drunken noodle with shrimp. They are a nice addition to the Haddonfield food scene.

Jamaican food is one of my favorite types of cuisine. The flavor profile is mixed beautifully when done just right with that little bit of spicy elevating the dish in a good taste type of way instead of just spicy to be spicy. Let me tell you that Irie Mon Jamaican Restaurant’s Jerk chicken was spot on. I hate when some places just bake the chicken and throw spice on top. Not here! From the smokey flavor to the crisp skin every bite was delicious and really enjoyed my visit. They should be on your radar if you are fan of this cuisine. A welcome addition to this area of South Jersey.

With a name more fitting of a clothing boutique, Brynn Bradley is putting out a fashion show of cheesesteaks that taste delicious in South Jersey. Perfect portions of meat and cheese on a seeded roll that held it all beautifully. They are for sure one of the best in the South Jersey area.

The food here is mostly Latin style focused. I had their pernil and rice which was pretty basic. Establishment is completely take-out or delivery as the interior is not setup for any patrons. In regards to menu it is posted only on social media as no proper website or paper menu. The day I ordered was around 4pm and even though menu was posted just two hours prior on Facebook the large majority of choices I asked for were out or not serving that day and even the choice I did ask for over the phone when I arrived they said they forgot they didn’t have it so I went with the pernil as it was that or baked chicken with white or yellow rice as the only things to choose from. Don’t know if the woman was a regular employee or helping out as she didn’t seem to be fully aware of where everything was in the place as had to search for forks and napkins. They have potential as the area they are serving lacks take-out diversity. I will be interested to see if they can capitalize.

One of the greatest joys in life for me is enjoying good Jamaican food. Let me tell you that Caribbean Paradise Jamaican Restaurant is a good spot to stop by as their Jerk Chicken was really good. The portion was generous and prices very reasonable. If in the area this is a decent spot to order from.

This is one of the those times when a picture doesn’t do the meal justice and the saying is true you had to be there. What a delight the meal at Giumarello’s Restaurant & G Bar was to eat. Everything was absolutely stunning and delicious. Had Calamari Fritti, Thai Chili Mussels with Roasted tomatoes, shrimp, cilantro, sweet chili, coconut milk that was AWESOME, Frutti Di MareShrimp, jumbo lump crabmeat, clams and mussels simmered in our spicy red or white garlic sauce over linguine, Chicken marsala with crabmeat, and Salted Caramel Creme Brûlée.

With an endless amount of choices for any sweet tooth or someone looking for dessert Factory Girl Bake Shop is one of your choices in New Hope. Kimberly Scola uses as many local farm-fresh ingredients and this could be a reason why so many people love the location.
