Mr. Bubbles Seafood – Philadelphia, PA

20160715_173114

This one got lost in the shuffle during the summer months. While at the intersection of Cecil B. Moore and Ridge Ave in North Philly for who knows what reason, I spotted Mr. Bubbles Seafood truck (MR. B) and decided to give them a try. I am happy I did as the strawberry ice tea was AWESOME and given to me complimentary for the extremely long wait for my original order of crab cakes with fries. Let us talk more about this strawberry ice tea. I would drive back to Mr. B to drink gallons of this stuff, it was that good. They should find someone to be able to bottle this up and make a gazillion dollars. I am happy I was given the tea. Fries were basic as was the crab cake. What I can tell you though, is the gentleman behind the counter was so enthusiastic, friendly, and happy even though it was one of those 100 degree sweltering summer days and he was just in the truck sweating and singing while he took orders and sang with a not so friendly line of patrons giving him a hard way to go at times. For a food truck the menu was quite varied and I would be interested to try other things from them. I would give Mr. B another try and order something else, but also just so I can have another cup of that tea.

Colonial Diner – Woodbury, NJ

Colonial Diner – Woodbury, NJ

20160703_180204

Everyone knows that the words Jersey and Diners go hand in hand. Some areas of Jersey are better than others and the same applies to their diners. Well with a very hip and stylish décor inside and out, Colonial Diner (CD) in Woodbury, New Jersey is one of the better ones around. With rock bottom prices that diners are known for, yet serving a delicious meal, CD hit all the right notes and I was very happy with my visit. The beef barley soup started things out and was very yummy. Then my main entrée of prime rib with Italian style green beans and fries was not the best version of prime rib, but for the price paid was by far one of the better ones I have had in a non-steakhouse setting. Service was friendly, efficient, and from start to finish CD was a pleasure to dine at. I will certainly visit again the next time I am in the area.
