Messy and Picky

We almost feel bad publishing the photos and further publishing the recipe of e's coconut toffee almond crunch cookies. Why? They're so damn good you may never go back to making other cookies. They're no harder than making your basic chocolate chip cookie, just a couple more ingredients. Picky met e at the food blogger […]

Yesterday, we ate… a lot. We got our NY bagel fix between the hotel and Messy's conference at the Garden City Deli on 9th Ave around 42nd St. It wasn't the best bagel Picky has had (he'll head downtown to SoHo for that later), but it quenched their lust for a good bagel and Steve […]

We received an email from the people at Peet's Coffee & Tea in August about Peet's coming to the Philly area for a series of cuppings (that's fan-cay talk for tasting).

We didn't uncover this gem until well into our stay in Philadelphia, it's now one of our favorites. Franklin Fountain has huge servings of delicious ice cream, an amazing variety of soda flavors and tastey homemade treats, but going there is as much about the atmosphere as it is about the food. Tin ceilings, bowties and handlebar mustaches. Pulley-driven dual ceiling fans, old timey music, and cash register. This place has it all including an old school soda fountain where they pull the soda water before adding the colorful syrups…
