Mt. Pisgah Diner - Winchester, NH

This is our third time here, but the first blog post.

They have great down home good and awesome prices with friendly service (and friendly customers.)

We've had grilled cheese, BLT's and Fish Chowder.  All have been excellent.

Fast service too.  Perfect for a driving stop.

Armsby Abbey - Worcester, MA

What a beer selection!!  Lots of great, unique beers with a very knowledgeable staff.  The cheese selection is also great.  Local meats prepared very right make up a large part of the menu.  Pizza's are excellent.  Yes, that is a picture of Pork Belly Pizza and Yeastie Boys Pot Kettle Black!

The Ordinary - Charleston, SC

Get the oysters, then get the Barbecue Shrimp.  Seriously.

Wescott Plantation - Summerville, SC

If you read this blog you've probably noticed we don't post as often as we used to.  T was overwhelming my food enjoyment to post every meal out.

This post had to be made to say that after a half a dozen Thursday night meals and just as many wine dinners at Wescott that the chef has it all figured out!

She knows seafood, from scallops to lobster, to snapper, to shrimp, we've been blown away by the outstanding meals.  Well above and beyond what you might expect from a golf course restaurant.

Make it a point to come on a Thursday or Friday for dinner!

Nigel's - North Charleston, SC

Had 1554 from New Belgiium, so at least one excellent beer.  Friendly service.  Lots of nteresting menu items, southern and soul mostly, but well thought out and unique as well.  I saw raviolis with bacon and collards on the menu!

Chicken and Biscuits: On the submarine, we wouls have called this exploded chicken, except it wouldn't be this good.  Holy crap the peas, carrots and potatoes were perfectly portioned and the gravy and biscuits were great!

Shrimp and Grits: Brown gravy was excellent.  Generous portion, great grits and beautiful slices of sausage.  A real winner!

Toast - Charleston, SC

Stopped in for a pre cruise breakfast.  The girls had the classic breakfast and really enjoyed the buttery and delicious eggs.  The biscuits were awesome.

I had the eggs benedict which was excellent, and I can be pretty picky. 

The bloody marys - with BACON - were close to the best I've had.

Service, from David, was fast, friendly and very helpful

Caficultura, Puerto Rico

Old San Juan.  

What a delight to get a coffee artistically prepared just for ME:

For breakfast:

"Pancakes" con Guineos Flameados:

buttermilk pancakes with bananas sauteed in sugar, butter, and rum.  

Tostadas Francesas de Leche de Coco en Pan Brioche con Mermelada de Pina y Coco rallado:

brioche bread coconut milk french toasts with pineapple marmalade and fresh coconut shavings. 

(this one was so delicious I can't wait to try it at home)

Everything was delicious.  

We decided to become temporary regulars and ate at the same place the next morning.  

The next day we had: 

Crepes de Batata Dulce rellena de Longaniza de Pollo y Queso de Cabra:

sweet potato crepes with crumlbed chicken sausage and goat cheese.  

and

Revoltillo de Vegetables frescos rostizados:

pimientos, tomato, cebollas y zetas con queso de papa o suizo

We drank coffee, of course, and ordered the Flaming June coffee which the waiter probably swore under his breath at us for ordering and struggled to light...but we enjoyed it anyway.  

And no, we didn't get a chance to see the museum where the Flaming June is hanging.  

Because this is SO worth a stop, here's a picture so you know what to look for.
