This is a good choice when in Pigeon Forge. The prices are reasonable and the food was good. My only gripe would be the sides could be a little larger. Other than that though I enjoyed a half rack of ribs, jalapeno mac and cheese, green beans, biscuits, and apple pie a la mode.

The warmer weather means that Char Bar from Meat Mitch is opening again. The ribs are delicious, but the sauce is boss here. After applying the sauce these ribs really become elevated and a joy to feast upon. Kansas City has always been know for BBQ and Meat Mitch may be a newcomer compared to some in this meat centric town, but they definitely deserve your attention.

In addition, this new season features the latest and greatest advice from the world’s sharpest minds in plant-based nutrition and advocacy. Gianna and her guests share where vegans actually get their protein, the connection between animal proteins, heart disease, and cancer, and how to heal from the inside out through our diet. Gianna teamed up with actor and best friend Andrea Logan to release their new plant-based cookbook, “Plant Love.” With heart disease as the nation’s #1 cause of death and a whole food plant-based diet being able to prevent and reverse it, Gianna is working to send a message to the world that there is a brighter future. For co-author Andrea, “Plant Love” was created in a time of juggling single motherhood, homeschooling 3 children during Covid, and healing from a divorce. With her over 230,000 followers on Instagram, Andrea wanted to take this opportunity to be the strongest she could for herself and her children by diving into Plant Love to help heal and inspire others.
Everyone who knows me knows that Stroopwafels are one of my all-time favorite snacks and used to have them delivered to me directly from the Netherlands. With more people understanding these delicious treats need to be enjoyed by everyone we will talk to Stroopwafel company Finger Licking Dutch Founders John Bronson, former NFL player for the Arizona Cardinals and his wife Femke Veelenturf with their company based in Philadelphia, PA. On one of their first dates, she gave John Bronson a traditional Dutch food package with stroopwafels in it, and the rest as you would say is history. Currently, Finger Licking Dutch Stroopwafels produces and imports their authentic Dutch stroopwafels (Camel Waffle Cookies) directly from The Netherlands to the U.S and other countries. Finger Licking Dutch is currently being featured on the popular retail television channel, HSN, Zulily and can be found in T.J.Maxx and over 1500 retail locations nationwide.

On a mission to make southern-inspired soul food favorites more heart healthy, Rene took her grandmother’s amazing recipes, removing much of the harmful fats and pork, and she began whipping up healthier versions of old-style favorites, leading to her 20 year reign as the most in-demand soul food chef for A-list soirees.
Sharon Shvarzman, the owner of an Israeli restaurant in Philly, keshetkitchen, and winner on Food Network’s The Great Food Truck Race with Tyler Florence will be with us also.

He wants to be part of the Philadelphia community’s lives whenever they need a little happiness–he believes that food can bridge gaps and bring people together. A contestant on Food Network’s Worst Cooks in America, who then became a proud winner of the Great Food Truck Race, Executive Chef Sharon Shvarzman’s passion for cooking has brought him to this moment of opening his own restaurant in March 2021.

A nice little spot with a menu that has a decent variety to it. I had the pan fried pork dumplings, beef chow fun, and chicken and broccoli combo with egg roll. Everything was better than your standard variety take-out place and service was quick and friendly.

This bakery has been around since 1925 so they have obviously seen and done a lot. To stay in business that long you have to be consistent and have loyal customers. For my visit I had 1/2 pound of cream puffs and a giant chocolate chip cookie. They only accept cash, so be aware.

In the mood for sushi and on the go? Then Sushi Express is right up your alley. Order online for quick pick up and be on your way. Prices are decent and food quality was good. If in the area or using Delsea Drive to get to the shore via Route 55 this is a good choice. I had the chicken hibachi, clear soup, seaweed salad, pork gyoza, kani, unagi, red snapper, octopus, and Philly roll.

With many awards for best sushi and even legions of fans who cross the bridge from Philadelphia to South Jersey Sagami has been a perennial favorite of many. There is a good reason why. They are putting out some of the freshest and highest quality product you can ask for. The prices may be a little higher than other places, but you just can’t get what they are offering elsewhere. Period! I had their Negimako, Shumai, Unaju, Anago, King Crab Sushi, Hamachi Maki, Soft Shell Crab Roll, Hotate, Philadelphia Roll. and Chicken Teriyaki.

It’s not an easy task to find not completely Americanized Asian food in South Jersey. Thankfully though they do exist and Sang Kee in Cherry Hill is just as great as their Chinatown Philadelphia counterpart. I had the Steamed Shanghai Soup Dumplings that was just amazing and the roasted duck with Chinese green vegetable rice platter. If in the area this is a good spot.

Warm weather has returned and #MemorialDay2021 is finally here with restrictions finally lifting in most places and now the sand and surf is calling our name. So where should we go? No one knows how to entertain at the VisitNJShore – Your Guide to the New Jersey Shore better than the world famous Do Atlantic City Boardwalk. With that being said we will be joined by Ocean Casino Resort SVP of Food and Beverage Warren Richards. With endless dining options at the resort they have something for everyone. From celebrity spots helmed by Mark Wahlberg to Chef Jose Garces to high end groups like LDV Hospitality to the really nice dining hall you can’t go wrong and won’t go hungry.

We will also chat with Tamar Adler, contributing editor at Vogue and author of cookbooks Something Old, Something New and An Everlasting Meal from Scribner Books. Tamar has teamed up with Jewish Family and Children’s Service of Greater Philadelphia’s (JFCS) Nourishing Community events, a once-a-month virtual cooking series featuring top-area chefs, home cooks, and cookbook authors sharing recipes, and tips from their kitchens while raising funds to support JFCS food relief programs to battle food insecurity in the region with previous events having appearances from Frank E.

Then joining us will be Jake Cohen a bright new star in the food world, most recently the editorial and test kitchen director of social media juggernaut the Feedfeed, and debut author of, ‘JEW-ISH: A COOKBOOK: Reinvented Recipes from a Modern Mensch’ from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. When most home cooks think of Jewish food, a few classics come to mind: chicken soup with matzo balls, challah, maybe a babka if you’re feeling ambitious. But as food writer and self-described “nice Jewish boy” Jake Cohen demonstrates in his stunning debut cookbook, Jewish food is so much more. In JEW-ISH, Cohen reinvents the food of his Ashkenazi heritage and draws inspiration from his husband’s Persian-Iraqi traditions to offer recipes that are modern, fresh, and enticing for a whole new generation of readers. Imagine the components of an everything bagel wrapped into a flaky galette and latkes dyed vibrant yellow with saffron for a Persian spin on the potato pancake, plus best-ever hybrid desserts like Macaroon Brownies and Pumpkin Spice Babka.
The hot days of summer are approaching so why not cool off with one of nature’s greatest gifts – WATER. Who better to talk to then Angela Cooper the CEO of Soho Waterworks. Soho Waterworks, a water distribution company, has demonstrated that innovation in the bottle water industry can yield a better, higher quality product for consumers. They recently launched a national campaign with the bold goal of providing Clean Water for All™. Its campaign to promote Clear Alaskan Glacial Water is an example of how this plan is paying off for bottlers, consumers and communities. Soho Waterworks is building public awareness about the health benefits of naturally sourced waters, considered to be a game changer in the wellness movement. They also enhance food and drink. Like fine wines, naturally sourced waters have their own unique profile and can be paired with foods to elevate any meal. At the same time, these waters contain naturally occurring minerals that provide superior health benefits to consumers, which are lacking in commercial water.
