Last week we were vacationing on Singer Island, which is just outside of Palm Beach. The concierge at the Marriott’s Ocean Pointe resort we were staying at, made reservations for us at Charley’s Crab on Thursday night.
Lizzie said she had the best crab cakes she has had this year, and she believes that they rival the Bar Harbor crab cakes she had last summer at The Bar Harbor Hotel.
Anyway, the food at Charley’s Crab was great. We both loved the PuPu Plater appetizers we shared. My fish entre, which was really ugly, really tasted great.
If we had the option to do it again, I believe we both would gladly go to Charley’s Crab again.
Phil’s Fish Stew looks so good. He even ships his cioppino or fish stew in a plastic bucket. For $89 it looks like you can order a nice little intimate dinner for two.
Look at the sauce he makes for the stew. I have used brown sugar in my sauce, but never cinnamon or saffron.
Well if anyone has had the priviledge of trying Phil’s food, please let us kn0w.
Viddler’s Masto creates this strawberry shortcake master piece. The strawberry syrup is a nice touch. I am a fan of Strawberry shortcake from way back, but it does not have any chocolate, so it would not be a favorite of Lizzy my wife. Now if someone can make a chocolate strawberry shortcake that uses a flour-less chocolate cake, and chocolate syrup…that might become one of her favorites.
A couple of weeks ago we had to pick up some guests at the Newark Airport, which is a good couple of hours away from Boyertown. The best thing about going to Newark is that we always pass the Clinton Station Diner, which is just off of I-78. Lizzie and I have stopped at the Clinton Station Diner numerous times before, so we felt really comfortable taking our out of town guests there on the way back to Boyertown.
I noticed on the menu that they now have a number of huge burgers including Mt Olympus the 50lb burger, Zeus a 7lb burger, and Atlas a 3lb burger. All of these burgers have different “Eat them all and they are free” options, which differ by the number of people eating the burgers and the time you are alloted.
I have never had a burger at the station, but if they are anything like the rest of the food, I am sure they are really delicious.
My favorite dish has to be the sausage and peppers pasta bowl as well as their desserts which taste as good as they look. The Clinton Station Diner prides itself on the freshness of its food which is entirely made on site.
Thankfully, we found the Clinton Station Diner, because I almost enjoy going to the Newark Airport now, knowing that I will be able to stop off at the diner for some of their wonderful desserts. If you stop in, make sure you are hungry, because the portions, may not all be like the Mt. Olympus, but they are well proportioned. In addition to the portion sizes, the diner has a wide selection which is sure to satisfy the fussiest of eaters.
This was the cheddar cheese that I sampled and bought a chunk of last week when I visited the Pottstown Farmers Market. I need to go back again and make another video as the first one was such a travesty. It will also give me a chance to sample and buy more of their delicious cheese.
Lizzie and I went to CD’s for lunch, and I made this “slaw dog” video, which I had been wanting to make for some time. I am a bit disappointed in the video, as the slaw dog was out of the screen when I was examining it. But nevertheless, the slaw dogs were really tasty.
I am not in the habit of eating Taco Bell or other fast foods, but I do have cravings for it every now and then. The other night as I was driving home from visiting my kids, the only thing that was appealing to me was a Burrito Supreme.
I did get one of those, but I also got a Chalupa. But being my eyes are bigger than my belly, I was unable to eat the Chalupa, and ended up eating it for Breakfast several days later. That was when I made the following Taco Bell Metoday video.
As you can see from the video, I as many people, do have past associations with fast food that I really try not to indulge. Being a 40+ adult, I really think I can make better nutritious decisions about the things I stick in my body.
How about you, do you get fast food craving as well?
Today was Fat Tuesday, the day before Lent begins. Here in Boyertown there are any number of places you can get them to include the local grocery stores. But the best ones I am told are from The RT 100 Deli. Lizzie and I were driving back home from a business meeting in Fogelsville, and we decided to stop.
The RT 100 Deli, is a small little place that you would probably pass if you were not paying attention. From the few times that I have been in to the deli, I can say it does seem to have some quality sandwiches and such.
Ralph’s Italian Restaurant, which is the oldest family owned Italian restaurant in the U.S., is located at 760 S. 9th St. Philadelphia,PA 19147.
Ralph’s is known for having authentic Italian food, so much so that when I was telling my bro that I was going into Philly for Italian, he asked me if we were going to Ralph’s, which he himself has never been too, but has heard it is awesome.
Initially, I when we got to Ralph’s, we were under the impression that it was two floors. I then asked Alfred, our awesome waiter, if I could make a video of the restaurant, and he said it would be great, and he would turn on the lights on the third floor so I could include that in the restaurant review video as well. Thanks Alfred.
What We Had at Ralph’s
Ralph’s specialties include Veal dishes and other Italian specialties such as linguine Pescatore or Eggplant Parmigiana. Lizzie had the Sausage and Peppers Italian Specialty, our friend Adelaide had Ravioli and meatballs, and I had the Veal Rollatine which is veal with Mozzarella, Prosciutto in a a Mushroom White Wine Sauce.
Watch my shaky restaurant review video to see a synopsis of our meal, and a brief walk through of all three floors of Ralph’s.
Check out Ralph’s Italian Restaurant’s Recipes page to find the family’s recipes that they share with everyone…I particularly want to try their meatball recipe…Adelaide gave me one of hers, and it was one awesome meatball.
