Talula’s Daily Has a Secret Ingredient and Fairy Friendly Tea

If I lived closer to Talula’s Daily it would be dangerous. The changing menu always hosts a few irresistible items, both savory and sweet. But, I am not often in the Washington Square Park area, so I  used that as an excuse to do an indulgent sampling of treats.

Adventures in Allentown: Country BBQ and Syrian (Don’t Flag me) Food

For some reason, I recently found myself in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Whenever I visit somewhere new, I research all the potential spots for good food, especially food the area is known for. For this itinerary, the first stop was the Allentown Farmer’s Market.

Grab a Chicken Pot Pie Muffin from Di Brunos

We all need a quick lunch to grab and go once in a while. But I still won’t sacrifice my stomach room for something boring. The Di Bruno Bros Suburban Station has a heated rack with rotisserie chicken and hot meals that make lunch on the go fairly easy. For example, the chicken pot pie muffin was calling my name.

A Road Trip to Souderton, PA for BBQ

It’s completely normal to travel over an hour in the South for good BBQ. But in the North East, we don’t really do that.  I would guess it is mostly we are spoiled with a lot of great food options within a mile radius. I stumbled upon Jesse’s Barbecue and Local Market while looking for a substantial meal the day after a friends wedding in Landsdale.

Jesse’s seemed like it was in the middle of nowhere (sorry, Soudertonians), but it was love at first sight, with the wooden shack to order from and smokers just beyond the seating area.
