We did not get a chance to stop here, but it definitely looks like the kind of place we would enjoy. Any of my readers ever been?

A perfect bratwurst at the Bird-in-Hand Farmer’s Market.
Restaurant Review #247: Katz’s Grill (Highlands, NJ)
I have been to this place three times. The first two have been in the mornings on our way to the beach. Justin and I have both enjoyed their coffee and breakfast sandwiches—a toasted, buttered roll for me, in particular. It was actually after the second visit a few months ago that I wanted to…
“Hamburger Patty’s” to Give it a Try in Keyport Restaurant Graveyard
No pun intended—there’s a cemetery across the street. Moving into the little building next to Fantasies in Keyport is going to be Hamburger Patty’s. The first thing I thought was, “At least it’s not pizza”. They are the latest in a string of restaurants (a minimum of five since I moved to the area in…

Restaurant Review #245: Bird-in-Hand Bakery and Cafe (Bird-in-Hand, PA)
I’ve been to the Bird-in-Hand Bakery and Cafe many times over the years. I have seen it evolve from a small bake shop into a mini empire located within a very modern but comfortable building. When you walk in, you are immediately hit with the pleasing aroma of freshly baked breads, pies, pastries, and desserts….

There is nothing specific I want to draw your attention to in this picture, just a “character shot” of John and Peter’s (and yes, that is a hockey stick up on the wall). For Justin’s birthday last month, I told him to pick any place he wanted for dinner, and he chose this legendary New…

A “Meatless Monday” creation here, and entirely from Aldi: a veggie burger on naan with a mixture of hummus and spinach. The veggie burgers from Aldi are some of the best I’ve ever had. Only 90 calories each and they are filling.
