I must have some spatzle (I pronounce it spetz-ul cuz I'm a dork) soon!
Whole Foods used to make a killer sandwich: Sliced turkey, pepper jack cheese, avocado slices, tomato, a green (I preferred alfalfa sprouts) with chipotle mayo on a whole grain bread. I miss their sandwich making area. Why they thought we need ano...

Lucky's Chinese on Baltimore Avenue - West Philly
I have asked a few people what, if any, good Chinese is in the Cedar Park-Clark Park area. My roommate said the only one she goes to, that is close by, is Lucky’s because it’s “fairly clean, and you can see what they are doing in the back.” Fair enough.
So yesterday, I was nursing a sinus infection. I was hungry, but not ravenous. Without a clue of what I really want or should have, I just figure Chinese food would suffice. I went down, ordered wanton soup, spring roll, and lo mein noodles. The… Continue

Chrissy said… - Hi Marilyn,
Thank you for the welcome. I found this site thru PhillyBlog, and I'm so glad I did! I love almost any kind of food, so I'm usually game for new restaurants. I love mexican food, so the Taqueria La Veracruzana on Washington Ave is a favorite, as well as Tacos Lucas in the northeast. St Stephen`s Green in Fairmount is a new favorite of mine too.
Again, thanks for the welcome!

Sherry said… - Karin and I also go to Krakaus Market a polish market http://www.krakusmarket.com/
I has great homemade perogies and sausage, etc. There is a restaurant in the market with all homemade food that for two people you will stuff your face and take home a bunch for 25.00...if that. Yum!!
Also, Riekers http://www.riekersmeats.com/home/ and then lunch up the street at the Austrian Village http://www.austrianvillage.com/
My 21 yr old son asked if he could move in upstairs at Reikers when I took him there. Look at the food they sell. My ex is a chef(and german) and shops there.

CasiNotes: Borgata serving up celeb chefs
IT HAS to be a foodie's ultimate fantasy: Getting up-close-and-personal with a slew of superstar chefs while sampling some of their dishes.Newspaper collects 420,000+ lbs. of food
Brian Tierney, chief executive officer of Philadelphia Media Holdings, flanked by several boxes overflowing with food, announced yesterday that more than 420,000 pounds of food had been collected for Philabundance and the Food Bank of South Jersey.Joe Sixpack: Beer cocktails: Could it be?
WHETHER it's the result of genetic imprinting or intelligent design, instinct compels me to avoid - at all costs - the menace known as beer cocktails. I'm inflexible on this: Mixing beer and anything else in a glass is physically risky and probably morally wrong.Good Taste
It's been a long time coming for Snackbar, but this ever-adventurous corner for avant-garde eats off Rittenhouse Square has finally found the happy medium between innovation and accessibility. Gone are the cumbersome lounge seats in favor of actual tables. Gone are the overambitious prices, with entrees in a neighborhood-friendly $20-and-under range.Pots of clay make her day

Tina Fey: Ambassador Of Sandwiches
Leave it to a Philly girl to show the world what it really means to love sandwiches.

Today marks the 291st birthday of John Montagu, the fourth Earl of Sandwich. The story goes that this noble fellow was quite the gambler, so much so that he would go on nonstop benders seated at the card table. As one can wield a meal of meat and cheese between bread in one hand, and [...]The Sandwich Cost Calculator
In light of the economic downturn, many have turned to the most affordable, satisfying and customizable meal: the sandwich. But how much are you really saving by packing a sandwich to bring to work or school?
