La Patrona 2 – Glassboro, NJ

Small Bites Radio has been named Top Hospitality Shows on the Planet from 2020 – 2024, #Bluejeanfood.com named Top Philadelphia Best Philadelphia Lifestyle Blogs and Websites from 2021-2024, Best Philly Food Blogs and Websites 2023-24, Top 25 Philly Food RSS Feeds in 2024, nominated by Metro Philly Newspaper 2022-24 Best of Philadelphia Arts & Entertainment, and WINNER of Metro Philly Newspaper Best of Philadelphia Arts & Entertainment in 2023 and 2024.

🌮 A Flavorful Experience at La Patrona 2 – Glassboro, NJ 🌮

If you’re in Glassboro, NJ, or visiting Rowan University, you should check out La Patrona 2, just a block away from campus! This cozy spot offers a fantastic array of Mexican dishes, perfect for satisfying your taco cravings or indulging in hearty, flavorful meals.

I had the pleasure of diving into a few of their standout dishes, and here’s the scoop:

✨ Tacos
The tacos at La Patrona 2 are an absolute highlight! I tried three varieties — Chorizo, Al Pastor, and Cecina — each packed with incredible flavor. The Chorizo was perfectly seasoned with a hint of spice and rich flavor, while the Al Pastor had a sweet and savory balance, thanks to the pineapple and juicy pork. The Cecina (dried beef) was tender and smoky, adding another layer of depth to the taco trio. All served on soft, fresh tortillas — simply irresistible!

✨ Gigantic Chicken Quesadilla
Next, I couldn’t resist trying their Chicken Quesadilla, and wow, it was absolutely massive! The quesadilla was loaded with tender chicken, melty cheese, and wrapped in a perfectly crisped tortilla. It’s the type of dish you’ll definitely want to share, but it’s so delicious you might just want to keep it all to yourself. 😋

✨ Beef Empanadas
Finally, I went for the Beef Empanadas, and while they were a bit different than what I expected (they were cheesy!), they were still pretty good. The crispy golden pastry was filled with a savory mix of beef and cheese, and although the cheesy twist was unexpected, it added an interesting touch.

Whether you’re grabbing tacos, a giant quesadilla, or something else off the menu, you won’t be disappointed. Great food, great vibes, and just a stone’s throw away from campus!

Sushi To Go in Voorhees, NJ is a convenient take-out only sushi spot that promises quick service and affordable prices. This eatery caters to sushi on the go, offering a no-frills experience that won’t break the bank. The menu was concise, featuring a selection of classic sushi rolls and a few additional options like the chicken teriyaki meal. Opting for a sampling of their sushi rolls, I settled on a few favorites and eagerly awaited my order. The rolls arrived promptly, neatly packaged and ready to devour. While nothing out of the ordinary, each roll was fresh and flavorful, with a satisfying balance of fish, rice, and fillings. In addition to the sushi rolls, I also sampled the chicken teriyaki meal—a hearty option for those seeking something beyond sushi. Chicken was grilled and smothered in a teriyaki sauce, served alongside a generous portion of steamed rice and crisp vegetables. While basic, it was a satisfying and filling meal that hit the spot.

Liscio’s Italian Bakery & Deli – Sicklerville, NJ

Small Bites Radio has been named Top Hospitality Shows on the Planet from 2020 – 2024, #Bluejeanfood.com named Top Philadelphia Best Philadelphia Lifestyle Blogs and Websites from 2021-2024, Best Philly Food Blogs and Websites 2023-24, Top 25 Philly Food RSS Feeds in 2024, nominated by Metro Philly Newspaper 2022-24 Best of Philadelphia Arts & Entertainment, and WINNER of Metro Philly Newspaper Best of Philadelphia Arts & Entertainment in 2023 and 2024.

Nestled along the Black Horse Pike in Sicklerville, NJ, Liscio’s Italian Bakery & Deli of Cross Keys is more than just a bakery. From its humble beginnings, where Liscio’s founder’s grandmother, with her timeless charm and dedication, swept the floors and shared smiles with patrons, to the bustling present-day establishment, the essence of familial warmth and passion for quality endures. Though time has passed, and loved ones have bid farewell, their spirit lives on in every loaf of bread and culinary creation that graces Liscio’s counters.

Today, as the aroma of freshly baked goods fills the air, patrons can still sense the dedication that has been a hallmark of Liscio’s since day one. With three locations now proudly serving the community, including the original Cross Keys spot, Liscio’s remains a bastion of artisanal craftsmanship and unwavering enthusiasm.

On a recent visit, I had their chicken parm sandwich. While it certainly satisfied my cravings, other offerings and treats may be best or it could have been on off day. The price point was good and all the treats you are able to purchase to enjoy are a plus on any visit here. 

Again, in 2024, Small Bites with Donato Marino and Derek Timm of Bluejeanfood.com was blown away by winning the Best of the Best in the Philadelphia Region Arts & Entertainment category out of 80,000 votes tallied in total through Metro Philly’s Best of Philadelphia for 2024.

Dragon Nest, an institution in Clarksboro, New Jersey, for over 30 years just recently reopened in restaurant dining. I had Hunan Beef, a blend of beef, crisp vegetables, and a spicy, tangy sauce that was pretty good. The fried rice, a staple of any Chinese take-out joint, was a cut above the rest. Light and fluffy grains of rice were tossed with savory soy sauce, scrambled eggs, and a medley of vegetables, resulting in a dish that was bursting with flavor and texture. It was the perfect accompaniment to the Hunan Beef. The steamed dumplings and egg roll were decent as well. Next time you’re in the mood for Chinese take-out, if you’re in the area you may want to pay a visit to Dragon Nest in Clarksboro, New Jersey.

Dunlop’s Bar and Grill – Sewell, NJ

Posted on December 10, 2024 by Bluejeanfood

Dunlop’s Bar and Grill – Sewell, NJ

Small Bites Radio has been named Top Hospitality Shows on the Planet from 2020 – 2024, #Bluejeanfood.com named Top Philadelphia Best Philadelphia Lifestyle Blogs and Websites from 2021-2024, Best Philly Food Blogs and Websites 2023-24, Top 25 Philly Food RSS Feeds in 2024, nominated by Metro Philly Newspaper 2022-24 Best of Philadelphia Arts & Entertainment, and WINNER of Metro Philly Newspaper Best of Philadelphia Arts & Entertainment in 2023 and 2024.

Welcome to Dunlop’s Bar and Grill, a surprising culinary gem nestled within the heart of a hockey rink arena in Sewell, New Jersey. While one might not expect to find a full-service restaurant and bar in such a venue, Dunlop’s defies expectations with its inviting ambiance and delectable offerings.

Let’s start with the star of the show: the food. I had the pleasure of indulging in a trio of classics that left me thoroughly impressed. First up, the cheesesteak—a quintessential Philadelphia favorite. Dunlop’s rendition did not disappoint, boasting tender slices of steak smothered in gooey melted cheese, all nestled within a soft hoagie roll. It was a hearty and satisfying dish that hit all the right notes. Next, I sampled the poutine as my side a Canadian delicacy that has been gaining popularity across the States. Dunlop’s take on this classic dish was very good. Crispy fries were smothered in rich gravy and topped with generous chunks of cheese curds, creating a decadent and indulgent treat that left me craving more.

And let’s not forget about the hot and honey wings—a true crowd-pleaser that combines the perfect balance of heat and sweetness. Each wing was perfectly cooked to crispy perfection and coated in a sticky glaze that had just the right amount of kick. It was a flavor explosion that left me reaching for another wing before I even realized it.

What truly sets Dunlop’s apart, however, is its unbeatable combination of quality and value. Despite its unexpected location within a hockey rink arena, Dunlop’s offers above-average fare at a surprisingly decent price point. Whether you’re grabbing a bite before a game or simply looking for a delicious meal in a unique setting, Dunlop’s Bar and Grill delivers on all fronts.

Again, in 2024, Small Bites with Donato Marino and Derek Timm of Bluejeanfood.com was blown away by winning the Best of the Best in the Philadelphia Region Arts & Entertainment category out of 80,000 votes tallied in total through Metro Philly’s Best of Philadelphia for 2024.
