Forking Tasty – Black Shack Burger Joint from Anthony Anello on Vimeo. The Black Shack was a nice find. One correction from the video, The Steak House Burger does not have crispy fries on it, although that sounds great too, it has crispy onions, just like the Western Burger. After we were...
Around the corner from our hotel was a breakfast place called Toast. Although breakfast is not usually a meal that I normally blog about I thought this was such an outstanding egg sandwich, even though the staff got my order wrong…. twice…. it was delicious. I ordered the Jumbo Breakfast...
The southerner and I spent the day walking around town and soaking in the rich history that Charleston has to offer. Of course we got hungry. We ended up at a restaurant called Coast where they had half price bottles of wine that particular night, lucky us. We had a couple of fish dishes for dinner...
A few weekends ago I decided to take a gourmet food store tour as I meandered through my weekend errands. That’s a lie. I completely put off the errands so that I could jump from store to store on an eating extravaganza. I loved it and this won’t be the last. In fact, think of this as a...
This past Saturday the second annual Best Wings in Brooklyn competition was hosted by Red Star Bar. It was a lot of fun. Jay and I rolled up around 1 pm, an hour before the chicken wing tasting began. Before we get into the lay of the land, the competitors and the wings, let’s cut right to the...
This came in the mail today. I didn’t order it. Those of you who know my love of pork can imagine how curious and excited I must have been. Inside the package, which was open 15 seconds after I closed the door, was a seemingly endless array of swine goodness. As I pulled out pig I realized...
Forking Tasty, El Shrimp Bucket, Mazatlan from Anthony Anello on Vimeo. The Southerner and I had a little ATV adventure around Mazatlan and ended up at the El Shrimp Bucket. It was a really fun day but there was a small incident on the ATV. We had a minor accident and needed to know how to...
Forking Tasty – Philippe’s, San Diego from Anthony Anello on Vimeo. It has been a while since I have had some good italian food. When we port in San Diego there is an information booth across the street and I went in to get a map to Little Italy and asked for some recommendations. I...
Forking Tasty, In-N-Out Burger, San Diego from Anthony Anello on Vimeo. In-N-Out Burger is by far the most popular fast food burger joint on the west coast. People from the west coast that live on the east coast always brag about how good In-N-Out Burger is and that there is nothing better. It...
We are sorry for being so quiet lately. The last three weeks have been quite jam packed. Not that we’ve not had time to eat, just not time to write. The reason? Monday I got married. Yes, hitched. Yes, It was amazing. Yes, we ate a lot. Yes, the food was off the hook. But you’ll have to...
I recently went back to Pipi’s in Puerto Vallarta because it’s been a while and it’s just so good. I decided on getting something I have not ordered there before and usually don’t order, the chicken and steak burrito. It was intriguing to have the uncommon combination of chicken and steak...
Nonsense happens at the holidays. I am sure for many families that comes in different forms. With no surprise my families nonsense comes in edible form. The crux of this derelict family trait is THE COOKIE TABLE. It sits in the corner of the dining room and taunts us all with silent sweetness. The...
For months now I have been porting in Puerto Vallarta but we never stay late enough to get a good dinner. Well times have changed and we finally left Puerto Vallarta at about 8pm, plenty of time to get a great meal. Since the southerner and I are not at a late port to get a Christmas dinner this...
Thanks to The Canadian I now can travel with my chai tea.This wonderful gift was put into quick effect the other night once it was unwrapped and cleaned twice. Unfortunately I drank over half the rack myself which lead to a long night with morning showing up way too early. ...
Forking Tasty – The Shrimp Factory – Mazatlan from Anthony Anello on Vimeo. One of the great things about working on a ship is when you have family and friends visit you. Yes, they are vacation while you work but I find time to spend time with them. Thanksgiving week I had my parents...
Saturday I decided to fry some chicken. After 2 weeks of hints dropped by the Canadian I figured I couldn’t escape the gentle coaxing any longer. It’s not that I didn’t want fried chicken, it’s just that…well…it’s a big, smelly, oil riddled production that...
