The only Mexican restaurant in Kutztown has some really good food. I heard somewhere that it was said to have the best Mexican food on the East coast, which seems like a pretty tall order to me.
At any rate, I had the house specialty which is Fajitas a la Mexicana with Shrimp. The two tortillas were more than enough to fill me up.
If you have a chance to dine at La Cocina Mexicana, make sure you get an extra side of their guacamole.
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.
The Hot Dogs of the Lehigh Valley are probably one of the things that I miss most about living in the Lehigh Valley. One of my favorite “Hot Dog Joints” has to be Yoccos. A “Yocco’s Hot Dog” is a well done hot dog with mustard, onions, Yocco’s chili and a steamed roll. I made a video the other day when I went through the Yocco’s drive-thru on my way home from an appointment.
Yocco’s has some other equally unhealthy food items, but of all the items the Yocco’s Hot Dogs are my favorite.
Yocco’s Dogs may not be slaw dogs, but every now and then, a couple of these delicious little hot dogs hit the spot.

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.

Cheddar Cheese
Originally uploaded by Emperor Anton
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.
This is a test post from 
, a fancy photo sharing thing.
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.
Last Friday, Lizzie and I were in the mood for some good Italian. Googling Italian Food Pottstown, Angelina’s Italian Kitchen was at the top of the page. Looking at other reviews of Angelina’s indicated it was a great place to go for pasta.
Thankfully, I made a reservation, as Angelina’s only has seating for 26 people, which makes this a really cozy Italian family restaurant. At one point it seemed like each member of the family had waited on us to include the daughter, mom and dad.
Checking out the takeout menu, the words “Pottstown’s best kept secret” are the first thing that I noticed. The next thing I noticed is that Angelina’s has an award winning pulled pork sandwich. A couple that was sitting next to us, had ordered one of these sandwiches for their son who goes to school nearby. The woman said her son swears they are the best sandwiches he has ever had…I guess I’ll have to stop back for a pulled pork sandwich.
The brief video of our experience at Angelina’s is below. Again sorry for the quality, my video taking skills are really lacking.
Angelina’s Italian Kitchen is truly a quaint family owned restaurant that I highly suggest everyone experience. Call ahead to guarantee you have a spot. Angelina’s also has a take out menu, which I will work on getting posted here in the near future. In the mean time, if you have the chance, give Angelina’s a try for some of the most authentic Italian cuisine in the Pottstown area.
