I was in the mood for shwarma, so I stopped by Kamal’s in Reading Terminal. The menu is exactly what you would expect: falafel, shwarma, dips, etc. with options in platter or sandwich form. How could you mess up shwarma, right?

It seems like Thanksgiving is everywhere these days and thoughts of stuffing have been haunting my dreams. I needed to get my fix. I recently had my first Wawa “Gobbler” experience, which if you don’t know, is a sandwich only offered during the fall season and includes the works- turkey, stuffing, cranberry. It is a passable Thanksgiving craving satisfier, especially as a late night option. But you might have to look elsewhere if you want your turkey hand carved. I have often passed by The Original Turkey in Reading Terminal, but it wasn’t until I noticed they serve up a Thanksgiving sandwich, called the Stuffin’ Cranberry, that my notice turned into desire.

It’s hard to keep up with the fun snacks at 12th St Cantina in Reading Terminal. They are always rotating new things that tempt me as I walk by. While burritos and quesadillas are always available, I prefer just picking what snacks behind the glass look best to me. Last visit I only had room to sample the duck chili.

Today, Nick from My Inner Fatty is satisfying his sweet tooth with the pie fillings at AJs in Reading Terminal.
At some point, everyone has replaced a meal with dessert. Why? Because it’s the greatest thing since sliced bread. Deep down, you know it’s wrong, you know it’s unhealthy, but it’s so freakin’ good that you just can’t help but indulge in this sinful activity from time to time. It’s human nature. Seriously though, if you stumbled across a refrigerator cabinet full of beautiful custards, cobblers, and puddings, you can’t honestly tell me you wouldn’t immediately consider making it a meal by ordering a cupful… or two… or three.
AJ Pickles & Salad Patch (or is it Pickles Patch & Salad? Their sign is too ambiguous…) is a shop nestled in the Northwestern corner nook of Reading Terminal Market. They sell pickles and salad obviously, but that’s not what I was there for. Despite the name, they’re also home to a collection of pie fillings, because why bother with all that crust when it’s the good stuff you are really after.

It had been about 8 months since my last visit to Beck’s Cajun in Reading Terminal to try the po’boy and a friend had pointed out that I missed one of their best dishes- the bread pudding. I had to return to try it, plus some other snacks I didn’t get to the first time. Some might criticize the authenticity of Beck’s, having never been to New Orleans I am not one of them. But no critic can hate on the bread pudding. My friend was correct in pointing out my omission, this dessert is not to be missed.
