This is an old school pizzeria with a family run feel. You can tell this place was a hot spot back in the day. There is a certain charm to that. I enjoyed my visit as prices were reasonable, service was great, and food was better than your usual pizza shop. Started with Italian Wedding Soup with garlic knots that were packed with fresh garlic. Then the entree was chicken parmigiana with spaghetti. No surprises here, but definitely a solid choice if you are around the area.

There are lots of choices when it comes to sports pubs/bars. The Village Pub has a few locations and they have lots of entertainment and sports themed events and viewings to draw in the crowds. What about the food though? It was decent and service was fast, friendly, and efficient. I had their honey sweet and garlic wings as well as an order of Village Fries. Really enjoyed the fries as they were crisp, seasoned well, and cheese hit the spot. The next visit to Village Pub I would try a few other flavors of their wings. What is your favorite variety or flavor or wings at The Village Pub?

This is another case of don’t judge a book by its cover. My picture is terrible, but the meal is truly yummy. I had the Breaded Chicken Cutlet Sandwich with Roasted peppers, bruschetta, mozzarella, & fresh basil, the Classic Chicken Parm Sandwich, and chicken tenders with fries. The prices were reasonable, service was friendly, and food was good. I really am interested to try some more of their menu and by the looks of it they do everything pretty well.

Asad’s Hot Chicken – 7300 Roosevelt Blvd – Philadelphia, PA

This place is the real deal and awesome! The service was so friendly, prices very affordable for the portion size, and the food is hands down amazing. I had the two spicy hot chicken sliders and cheese fries. The chicken is spiced and seasoned perfectly, crispy on the outside, and so hot and juicy with every bite on the inside. They are expanding with more locations and deserve all the news and accolades. Great spot!
They are headed by Asad Khan. Asad is a Philly native who grew up around food and developed a passion for it at a very young age. His love for food drove him to explore different cuisines and always look for new flavors and ingredients. He is constantly innovating and experimenting with new ideas to take his brand to the next level. After eating here I am excited to follow his journey.

In the hospitality industry service is important. Well for a tiny little take-out shop this place really excelled at making you feel welcome and appreciated. It was my first visit here ever and they made it seem like I was their #1 customer of all time. The food did not disappoint either. Their price point is very reasonable and the cheesesteak I had was seasoned and cooked perfectly and the Cajun steak fries were great. This is a neighborhood gem for anyone who lives around the area.

Nestled in the historic small town of Haddonfield, Sanook brings the bold flavors of Thailand with a modern flare. The service was friendly and the food was great. The Crab Fried Rice with jasmine rice stir-fried in savory sauce with filled with lump crabmeat pieces, egg, onions, peas and carrots and seasoned wonderfully. Also had their pork Pad Se Eeuw with wide rice noodles stir-fried with egg, carrot, broccoli, and Chinese Broccoli that was fantastic. If you’re in the area they are a great choice.

Picture this, a crisp Christmas season on São Miguel Island in the Azores, and you find yourself nestled in the heart of the downtown waterfront area. The air is filled with the delightful scent of ocean breeze mixed with the warmth of festive cheer. To me, this is the perfect time to experience the island’s unique blend of natural beauty and holiday magic. The downtown waterfront area is a tapestry of cobblestone streets, historic architecture, and a lively atmosphere. You will stroll along the charming streets, adorned with twinkling lights and colorful decorations indulging in local cafes, boutique shops, and enjoy the festive vibes. The waterfront comes alive with the joyful sounds of locals and fellow tourists enjoying the holiday spirit. The local cafes and eateries beckon you with the promise of delightful culinary adventures. A little further from the downtown area, make sure your culinary journey takes you to the renowned Queijadas De Vila Franca Do Campo Do Morgado bakery. The aroma of freshly baked pastries and the sweet indulgence of the famous queijadas, traditional Portuguese cheese tarts, instantly transport you to a world of gastronomic delight.
This island provides a series of natural wonders and unforgettable experiences. You can enjoy a thrilling dune buggy adventure through the picturesque Sete Cidades. The vibrant green landscapes and the azure blue of the twin lakes leave you breathless. Another must visit is the enchanting Furnas Lake and Volcano area. The bubbling hot springs and fumaroles create a surreal atmosphere. The landscape feels like a patchwork quilt of natural wonders, and you can’t help but be captivated by the raw beauty surrounding you. A highlight of the island allows you to unwind in the soothing waters of Parque Terra Nostra. The botanical gardens provide a tranquil escape, allowing you to connect with nature and recharge your senses. The thermal pool, fed by natural hot springs, offers a rejuvenating experience. No visit to São Miguel is complete without a stop at the Chá Gorreana Tea Plantation. Surrounded by rolling hills and the Atlantic Ocean, this tea plantation is a testament to the island’s rich agricultural history. You savor the flavors of locally grown tea while taking in the breathtaking views. When you are hungry, you should get to the area around Caldeira das Furnas, where the traditional cozido—a stew cooked by the earth’s natural geothermal heat—is being prepared. The aroma of the slow-cooked feast fills the air when it is served.
Highly recommend a visit here. This idyllic island paradise is a symphony of flavors, adventures, and cultural richness. The warmth of the people, the beauty of the landscapes, and delicious meals are memories that will linger in your heart for a lifetime. Bottom line is São Miguel invites you to feast on fresh seafood, traditional Azorean delicacies, and delectable pastries. Below are some places I really enjoyed during my visit.
Queijadas De Vila Franca Do Campo Do Morgado– São Miguel Island – Azores, Portugal
My oh my what a delicious treat these Queijadas pastry products are. I could eat boxes of these things. Very cool background story to go with these too. A must visit.
Restaurante Ramires Ponta Delgada – São Miguel Island – Azores, Portugal
This place is an old school gem from 1964. They were packed every single day during my visit and for a good reason. The chicken is awesome, and fries hit the right spot. Started with pumpkin soup that was good and an awesome drink Kima Passion Fruit Maracuja. I ended the meal with a local pineapple.
Restaurante Bom Pesqueiro – São Miguel Island – Azores, Portugal
When you are on an island, you expect to eat great seafood. This is exactly what this place excels at. Fresh catch of the day seafood daily. You walk in, get a tour of the fresh fish and bounty of the sea sitting on ice in front of the open kitchen, and tell them what you want and how to cook it. It doesn’t get any fresher than this. Great service and meal here.
Ramen Bambu Açores – São Miguel Island – Azores, Portugal
Hit this place for a quick lunch and it hit the spot perfectly. Really friendly service and food was delicious. Had the Porco Ramen.
Porto da Espada – São Miguel Island – Azores, Portugal
Sometimes language can be a barrier. Sometimes it can create humor. Just look at the menu below and I would have to assume that a Codfish Handjob is the latter and was fresh hand cut cod. Also on the menu was a mixed grill that was good and codfish pataniscas which was fantastic. Ended the meal with a nice rice pudding dessert. Dining outdoors with a cool breeze on the waterfront is hard to beat.
Restaurante O Churrasco Ponta Delgada – São Miguel Island – Azores, Portugal
Grilled meat is a wonderful treat. Anywhere around the world, if you can find someone doing grilled meat, you are probably going to have a good meal. Well they are doing it great here. Everything was top notch and everything was perfect. Had the mixed grill, fries, wings, and pea soup.
Cervejaria Portas da Cidade – São Miguel Island – Azores, Portugal
This place was a surprise. It was late at night and many places were closed, but the front of this place was packed with people dining outside and a menu in the street. They made it feel like we were regulars and their VIP customers. The service was a lesson in how it’s done and the food was amazing as well. From the fried mackerel, escarole soup, and cod entree I really enjoyed my time here.
Restaurante Tony’s – Furnas – São Miguel Island – Azores, Portugal
The thing to get here is of course their cozido das Furnas (meat and vegetable stew cooked underground using the hot springs) and it is AWESOME! The great way to end it was their pineapple pie. You have to be here and try it. The meat was so moist and fork tender. I enjoyed every bite.
RÚSTICO at Herdade do Ananás – São Miguel Island – Azores, Portugal
You can go on a tour of their pineapple plantation. They even have a warm pool inside one of the pineapple greenhouses that you can relax and enjoy. After your tour and soaking in the water, I really enjoyed a wonderful meal at the restaurant of fish rice stew, chicken tenders, clams, and flambe pineapple with cognac. Everything was great and an amazing experience.
3 Sentidos Pizzaria – São Miguel Island – Azores, Portugal
Dining on the main waterfront street you can enjoy some pizza and wings. Service was friendly and prices reasonable.
Restaurante SushiKi Ponta Delgada – São Miguel Island – Azores, Portugal
Sometimes you just want to get something to eat quickly and be able to hop in and hop out, but don’t want fast food. Well a Chinese Buffet is usually a good choice. This is the same for here as a nice selection at a very good price. The food was fresh, tasty, and service was really nice.
Restaurante Lagoa Azul – São Miguel Island – Azores, Portugal
After enjoying a thrilling dune buggy adventure through the picturesque Sete Cidades you are sure to get hungry. This spot has a beautiful buffet setup. I forgot to take many pictures, but the spread was wonderful and there were lots of great things to eat here.
Mucca Gelados – São Miguel Island – Azores, Portugal
Enjoy a wonderful snack on the waterfront here. So yummy and a treat. Lots of flavors to choose from.

La Tentacion Pizza & Mexican Grill – Westville, NJ

This place truly hits the fusion of pizza parlor and Mexican restaurant perfectly. The service is really friendly and makes you feel at home while the ambiance is festive and makes it feel like a party eating there. The prices are decent for the quality of food and portion sizes. The mango habanero wings were awesome. Crisp on the outside and juicy wet and tender on the inside with a sauce that hits with a little heat to begin with but the sweetness settles it quickly and is nice. Fresh cut fries were great as well. I enjoy any place that goes with fresh cut fries. I had the rib eye tacos and they were seasoned just right. They also have lots of pizza choices that everyone in the place seemed to be enjoying so I will certainly be back to try them and an outdoor area for when the weather permits. This place was a pleasant surprise and if you have never been you should give them a try.

From their website, ‘Michael Schulson is the chef and restaurateur behind the Schulson Collective restaurant group whose imagination and vision have made him one of Philadelphia’s most successful hospitality professionals. In 2008, Schulson opened his first restaurant, Izakaya, a modern Japanese pub in Atlantic City’s Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa. At Borgata, Schulson found himself among the likes of Bobby Flay and Wolfgang Puck, earning rave reviews and immense popularity. He opened his second restaurant, Sampan, in 2009 in Philadelphia’s bustling Midtown Village. The contemporary Asian restaurant and bar was promptly named one of Bon Appetit’s “Top Six places to Taste Asian Fusion,” and Schulson was named one of Esquire’s “Chefs to Watch” in their annual restaurant issue soon after. Sampan is an oasis of contemporary Asian small plates located in the heart of Center City, Philadelphia’s hot Midtown Village neighborhood. A dramatic back-lit wall mural sets the scene for artful food, emerging from the restaurant’s centrally located open kitchen while a carefully curated selection of wine, beer, sake and cocktails compliment guests’ experiences.’
After coming to Philadelphia 2009, Michael Schulson has been on a tear and Schulson Collective restaurant group is a major player in the area as well as expanding to Miami, FL recently. One man may have a vision, but it takes a team to play the game. Since the group brought on Michael Parisi in 2016 as Chief Financial Officer at Schulson Collective the group’s expansion, dominance at excellence, and fortune have increased tremendously. They also have stamped their place as a constant contender to be the location to see and be seen in the region. The entire team is on fire, yet their attention to detail has not slowed down one bit.
Even though Sampan has been open since 2009 and has consistently been named one of Philadelphia’s Best Of for numerous awards and is always a very popular Happy Hour destination, I somehow missed the memo to visit. The message was finally received and they are just as fantastic as ever. From start to finish this was dining at its finest. From sitting down exactly at reservation time, decor, ambiance, service, food, pace of meal, and price point everything was hitting perfectly on all cylinders. To perform at such a high level after all these years and many other restaurant openings in different areas and markets speaks to the dedication of leadership from the top all the way to the bottom with everyone still believing and executing the vision. Job well done to everyone involved and our server Jonathan was great.
Enough of the blah, blah, blah now to get to the food. Really enjoyed everything. Huge highlight was the General Tso Soup Dumpling. I have been to many places that say they specialize in soup dumplings that weren’t half as good as these and it was just as fun eating these as when I visited Din Tai Fung in Taipei, Taiwan. Another shining star are the Kung Pao Chicken Wings. Again anyone who serves wings should take notice. Crispy on the outside, super juicy on the inside, and a flavor that just pops with every single bite. The Wagyu Beef Satay was no slacker either. You can tell a happy cow makes a delicious piece of meat on a stick and they are so tender and yummy. Beef Short Rib Lo Mein was a delight with the beef able to be cut with the chopsticks and noodles seasoned wonderfully. It was a joy to eat every bite. The Roasted Branzino was truly delectable and green beans were a magical treat to eat. Something a little different was the kim chee fried rice that was a nice side dish and the crispy spring roll was good. A wonderful treat was the ice cream. Vanilla Swedish Fish & Chocolate Cocoa Puffs were the perfect way to end the meal.
Sampan is a culinary gem of the Philadelphia dining scene and you should definitely give them a try or visit them once more if it has been awhile.

Could a French revolution be in the works around South Jersey? If you go to the movies you’ll find Joaquin Phoenix playing the role of a spectacle-filled action epic that details the checkered rise and fall of the iconic French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte in the film Napoleon. Then within a 2 mile radius South Jerseyans can enjoy wonderful French cuisine at Cafe le Jardin or June BYOB. French food is an art form and the type of dining experience you normally expect in big name cities. Lucky for South Jersey, they have two great destinations to choose from with amazing food being served.
A little about Cafe le Jardin. It is from the owner’s of June BYOB in Collingswood, NJ, Richard and Christina Cusack who have opened another French dining destination called Café le Jardin – “the garden” – which is a charming French café and bistro nestled in the heart of downtown Audubon, NJ. While you are having brunch or dinner in its cozy dining room or outdoor patio, you will feel as though you have been transported to a corner café in Paris. Enjoy classic bistro fare by chef Rich and, chef de cuisine, Jay Shipp. They also offer a full coffee bar, supplied by Bean2Bean Coffee Company. So don your beret and favorite bottle (BYOB) for your next romantic dinner for 2 or casual meal with friends.
Eating here was a treat. I really enjoyed the Coq au Vin which was rich and brimming with flavor. Coq au Vin is a classic French stew of chicken braised in red wine with mushrooms and crispy pancetta. Every piece of the entree was delicious from the carrots to potatoes, everything was great and every bite bursting with deliciousness. I really enjoyed the French Onion Soup as well. Definitely top notch and one of the better ones around South Jersey. WIth the caramelized onions, rich broth, and toasty bread topped with melted cheese, this soup is the ultimate comfort food and perfect to get cozy with the cold weather upon us now. The ending couldn’t have been any better with an amazing creme brûlée. It is a simple but elegant dessert with a creamy custard topped with caramelized sugar. From start to finish Cafe le Jardin really shined. Looking forward to my next visit for sure.
