Le Burger @ Le Bon Choix

Le Burger @ Le Bon Choix

Eating halal only you have to travel sometimes to get the quality of food you feel is deserving of your palette. I found Le Bon Choix from a food blogger’s post. I went with my wife and kids. From that original experience until about a year later I have visited this restaurant about 15 times. It is truly a great experience in terms of service as well as the quality of food you receive. You…

Tomahawk Chop @ American Cut

Tomahawk Chop @ American Cut

Hey guys, my next review will be on something I love, a restaurant with a chef I love and meat. This next review is of a surf and turf for two offered at American Cut, now there are two locations but the one I visited was in Midtown. The meat is Creekstone so that is a plus and the chef is Marc Forgione who I think is awesome.

Now as you can see from the picture that tomahawk bone itself is…

Banana Pudding Doughnut @ Krispy Kreme

Banana Pudding Doughnut @ Krispy Kreme

Krispy Kreme sent me an email that their limited time Strawberries and Kreme Doughnut and Banana Pudding Doughnut would be free on June 20th. I happened to be at Macy’s that day and figured I would duck into Penn Station and grab the Banana Pudding Doughnut.

As you may know when you order 1 or 2 donuts Krispy Kremeputs them into a very slim bag. This results in a donut that is less than…

Trail mix dates back to the 1910’s when outdoorsman Horace Kephart recommended it in his popular camping guide. It seems that trail mix has evolved over the years from good old raisins and peanuts to lots of chocolate with some raisins and nuts. Anyone who reads Junk Foody knows that I have quite the sweet tooth so the more chocolate the better. 🙂

If I recall correctly I stumbled upon Great Value

Dominique Ansel released the Cronut in May 2013 and it was an instant success. People had been seen lined up outside the SoHo bakery as early as 5 am just to get their hands on one. Many had also paid people to stand in line for them. Craig’s List scalpers even got in on the action and were selling them for $70 each.

Fast forward to 2018 and people are still lining up to buy them but paying the…

Waffles @ Trace

As I mentioned in a previous post my wife and I were in San Francisco recently. We stayed at the W Hotel which houses a restaurant named Trace. I explored the menu every day of our stay. 🙂

On the first day I headed down to Trace dressed in sweat pants and a baseball cap only to discover that I was woefully underdressed. It turns out that Trace is a destination restaurant, even for breakfast. The…
