Glorious garlic shrimp from a family dinner at Portuguese Manor a few days ago. The oil is liquid gold when you dredge some of their crusty, homemade bread through it.

Remembering Matawan’s Trattoria Rustica, which recently went out of business after a multi-decade run. This was one of my favorite meals here, Chicken Ravello. It was a large dish containing three chicken breasts over penne pasts in marsala wine sauce. Then topped with asparagus and roasted red peppers. Going to miss this place!

Thinking back to the summer…and these soft shells crabs at the Sitting Duck.

The sun is setting on the summer of 2018. I hope you had as much fun as I had these last two months, and enjoyed my Photos of the Day! This picture was snapped just three nights ago outside Barnacle Bill’s.

Appetizers from another outstanding meal at Galata in Marlboro. Hummus is in the foreground while the best Baba Ganoush I’ve ever had is behind.

Some might find this tacky, but I just love this nautical-themed dining set from Christmas Tree Shop.

A couple of the bottles we had during an excellent dinner at Freehold’s La Cipollina.
Restaurant Review: Pru Thai (Clinton, NJ)
As a food blogger, I probably never should have uttered the phrase last year, “I never met a Thai restaurant I didn’t like”. Well, after having a solid string of restaurant visits all over New Jersey and even out of state with this particular cuisine, I finally ran across my first dud. Pru Thai in…
Restaurant Review: La Cipollina (Freehold, NJ)
I opened the menu to see the following inscription on the bottom of one of the pages: “We ask that you refrain from cell phone use unless you are instagramming or facebooking our delicious cuisine.” As an avid food blogger (I despise the term “foodie” as you know), this was license to go crazy with pictures…
Restaurant Review: Sichuan Cottage (Marlboro, NJ)
I wanted my 200th restaurant review to be of a solid restaurant. As an avid reader and contributor to the Hungry Onion message board, I have noticed a love affair with a particular Chinese restaurant. That place is Sichuan Cottage in Marlboro. While the board is a place for debate over dining, there seems to…
Restaurant Review: Thai Thai (Bethlehem, PA)
We are now into restaurant review five of eight, and we have our winner for the trip. While, for the most part, we had great food in our four-day excursion, Justin and I both agreed this was the best. We were walking around town looking for a place to grab lunch. The historic Sun Inn…
Restaurant Review: Procopio’s (Denver, PA)
We started our Pennsylvania road trip through Adamstown, Kutztown, and Bethlehem with a stop for some antiquing in the “Antique Capital of the USA”. On the way there, we noticed a little Italian restaurant called Procopio’s on the side of the road. Justin and I were both hungry but just not digging diner food. It…
