This place was great from start to finish. The service was really nice and everyone made you feel welcome and business appreciated. Best part the pizza was AWESOME! I enjoyed ‘The Brooklyn’ pizza which is the perfect amount of sauce and cheese, and like they say it is well done, but not burnt. If you haven’t tried them you definitely should to see if you’ll enjoy as well,

What a fun area to explore, play, and dine. With The Omni Homestead Resort’s history, amenities, activities, spa services and everything else to do in and around the vicinity and surrounding towns they truly have something for everyone of all ages no matter the season.
Lindsay’s Roost Bar And Grill – Hot Springs, VA
This places is throwback in time with everything you could look for. Awesome friendly down home service, delicious food, great retro ambiance, and very affordable prices. Highly recommend a visit. I had their cheeseburger with sauteed onions, hot dog with raw onions, and order of fries. Great meal!
Jefferson’s Restaurant & Taproom – Hot Springs, VA
This is the way to dine in style while in town. The food was top notch and service perfect. You have a nice view while at the restaurant and the ambiance is sleek and cool. The clam chowder soup was great and perfect way to start the meal. The entree was pan seared duck breast with duck fat mashed potatoes, seasonal mushroom, buttered carrots, asparagus, and a summer berry gastrique. Truly was an enjoyable experience.
Kober’s at The Mountain Lodge – Hot Springs, VA
With skiing and snow tubing available here you really don’t feel like leaving. Good news is that the smokehouse here is actually pretty good, service quick, and portions decent size. Normally you think just fast food when at an place with activities, but you are in good hands here. Had the collard greens, mac and cheese, and brisket. Even though the picture of the brisket doesn’t look good, it tasted great.
The Tavern at The Inn At Warm Springs – Warm Springs, VA
Located in what was once the first courthouse for the County of Bath (1863) the newly remodeled Tavern at the Inn is inviting and comfortable; with walnut tables, handcrafted furnishings, antiques, artwork and a menu that is both eclectic and hearty. Really enjoyed my visit here. The place is cool just to walk around and lots of one of kind things to buy throughout the building. The food was delicious as well. The clam chowder was spot on, garlic white wine mussels, tavern bouillabaisse with shrimp – mussels – salmon – scallops in a saffron stew, and strawberry shortcake to close it out. Great time from start to finish.

Chef Zhang is one of those Jersey gems hidden in a nondescript strip mall. They not only have a very diverse menu, but their take-out is something I haven’t seen since my visits in China. They provide you food storage containers that are completely sealed and not able to be opened without using the aluminum pull-tabs. The bicycle food delivery drivers in China use these containers as they allow complete freshness, keeping the food warm, and easily stack-able for transport until it arrives at its destination. It adds a special touch and unique flair at Chef Zhang. The food was fantastic as well. Every dish was delicious and I highly enjoyed each one. I had pork soup dumplings, Shangdong braised chicken, tinfoil beef, toothpick lamb, dry fried green beans, chicken dry pot, and roast pork fried rice. Give them a try, I sure you’ll find something you like.

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.

I can’t say enough good things about this location. Everything I had was delicious and the service was top notch. The wings with dry rub are some of the best wings around anywhere, ribs were great, chili brussel spouts was awesome, and the onion rings hit the spot, All of the sauces were good and if you like BBQ you need to check them out.

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.

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 night we dined here it was a place to be and be seen. A famous Hollywood actor was present and for a good reason. The food was really good, but my picture is terrible so don’t judge by what I show. I had the Mongolian beef with fried rice that was flavorful and the meat was tender.

Some different and interesting flavor choices here. Nice place for a treat and picturesque.

Down home cooking at its best and a must visit when in San Juan for a true flavor. I had the Puerto Rican Combination which is roast pork, rice with pigeon peas, sweet plantain, and pastel.

Hip place with happening décor and atmosphere. Had the fried red snapper in creole sauce with sautéed vegetables and mamposteao rice.
