Thanksgiving for all families is filled with traditions, both new and old. Our traditional Thanksgiving is held at our parent's home, with several members of the family and a few family friends present each year (more or less). We eat the same meal every year, cooked primarily by my dad. I must say we've had a few variations on the standard turkey over the years-- my dad even invested in a Turducken a few years back (quite delicious), and has...

Pub & Kitchen: "Country Delight"
Posted on 07:50 by balbindra nath

Between both of our recent trips (A to California for work, me to Boston for the race) and the Thanksgiving holidays, A and I haven't had any good opportunities to try a new restaurant. We decided to treat ourselves to a mid-week dinner out, which happened to coincide with the night of Pub and Kitchen's "2nd Annual Country Delight." We've been fans of P&K for awhile now- their brunch is one of the best late Saturday morning options near our...

Spirit Success
Posted on 12:41 by balbindra nath
So remember that sandwich competition I randomly entered a few months ago? No? Yeah, I hardly did either. Then one day last week, I received a package notice from the post office and bewildered, went to pick up my mystery package. Turns out, my entry won one of the runner-up awards! Apparently they decided not to contact me, and just sent the award package-- two panini spreads and a Tom Colicchio cookbook, "'wichcraft," full of wonderful sandwich...

Boston Eats: Picco
Posted on 17:15 by balbindra nath

Although it definitely looks like I missed out on those delicious looking pork chops A made over the weekend, I always eat well when I travel to Boston. This time, my weekend revolved around running my second half marathon race, again with my boyfriend in tow-- the truth is, he barely trained and still easily ran alongside me. One great bonus of long distance running is the large quantities of food you can consume post-race (as you all have recently...

Stuffed Pork Chops: Anatomy of a Meal
Posted on 14:25 by balbindra nath

Ponder French Roast. Realize it takes a bit too much prep time. Settle on stuffed pork chops.One day prior: Filter through ten to twenty stuffed pork chop recipes online. Compile ideas and instructions, begin to formulate original recipe. Prepare shopping list.Two...

Honest Tom's Taco Truck
Posted on 14:26 by balbindra nath
I have a Philadelphia foodie confession: I do not support food trucks. It's not that I have anything against them, rather I just have never really ventured into the scene. As I enter my seventh year at Penn (yikes), it seems almost impossible- they're everywhere, they're cheap, they're fast, and word on the street is that many of them are delicious. Don't get me wrong, I have eaten from them.. but only a handful of times. Recently (maybe since...

Catahoula
Posted on 13:31 by balbindra nath

With our love for any food originating in the South, creole & Cajun food always hits the spot. But really, who doesn't like spicy fried things? Although we've never been to New Orleans, Catahoula, the new-ish Cajun restaurant on Front Street, gave us a little taste of the city. The location is a little further away than we usually venture, but hey, sometimes you have to make an effort to get to some good food.Photo from YelpArriving a little...

Spice Encrusted Fish & Roasted Leeks
Posted on 17:11 by balbindra nath
Inspiration for one of this week's dinners came from two sources: our lovely recently-wedded friends and our CSA. We were very thankful to experience (and be a part of) our friends' recent wedding, and took home wonderful memories as well as some great gifts. As the bride and groom currently live in Memphis, they gifted each guest with a small bottle of homemade spice rub, a little taste of their new hometown.As soon as I saw these, I knew I wanted...
