Crunchy, light, and refreshing “Fresh Rolls” from Kunya Siam. These were consumed a couple of weeks ago during our museum’s arts and crafts festival. Rice paper was stuffed with lettuce, carrots, and mint, and paired with a luscious peanut sauce.

No, I’m not standing the wrong way. This was aboard the schooner AJ Meerwald, when they came to port in Atlantic Highlands last month. When the captain asked if anyone wanted to steer, no one raised their hand. So Justin and I went over and took turns steering. This was a little different than any…

I love Rook, but 1st Cup Coffee in Atlantic Highlands makes a good Cold Brew as well.
Takeout Joints Vol. 6: Bagels!
While I have devoted reviews to specific bagel places, I figured I could bang out three in one shot here. Like the other “Takeout Joints” volumes, the scores here are based a little bit differently. How could a bagel compare to, say, a fine dining experience? Well, it can’t (not even for a die-hard bagel…
