10 Things We Hate About Blue Apron

Better than going to the grocery store! Convenient, easy, fun, interesting and all the things the internet promises me! But…. not so fast. For anyone who doesn’t know the difference between a mandolin and a grater, this may be true. But for someone who can make a pancake drunkenly (Well a pancake shaped sugary carb…

Throwback: Peculiar Culinary December 2014 Pop Up

It’s a time for giving appreciation for the things you have. Today, we’d like to give our thanks for the delicious, amazing food that has been filling NEPA stomachs since 2012.

OXO BBQ Review #WhatAGrillWants

OXO BBQ Review Recently we had the pleasure of receiving some slick cooking utensils from OXO at no cost to try out. (disclaimer points: achieved) Coincidentally, it was the week before the Big Damn Cookout, which was BBQ kismet for some fun pics and real good food! All in all, we  received the Bladed Meat Tenderizer,…

Bart and Urby’s Summer Heyna

I’m just going to let you scroll back up to drool over these sweet potato slices topped with brown sugar and bacon again. Good? Okay, good. If there’s one thing we love about Bart and Urby’s it’s the wings. Well, the patio, and then the wings. Well, the Monday Happy Hour specials, and then patio,…

Circles on the Square

Circles on the Square is the spot to get a great deli lunch. I will tell anyone and everyone that. Ever. Forever. Many of the breads are baked in house, as well as some deserts, which your mouth can tell. Whiskey Beard, Dan, expected more bacon, toasted bread and a little melted in his Owen’s Original,…

Brown Barn Cafe: Good Local Food

Homemade lemonade, chocolate pudding, and jarlsberg grilled cheeses, are just some of our favorites of this literally overpassed restaurant. When you walk into the barny exterior, you’ll first enter a foyer, then the adjacent chocolate shop (also highly recommended) to finally find the bright red walls of Brown Barn Cafe. Home to a weekly changing lunch menu, an easy favorite is the…

No Peking…Chef!

It’s hard to go wrong with the food at Peking Chef. Pretty much any restaurant we’ve ever been to, there was at least one person was unhappy with at least one dish. But there’s never been a complaint. Once. (At least not that they would dare tell me.) It could be that Peking Chef is…

Kevin’s Bar & Restuarant

Kevin’s Bar and Restaurant…the most inappropriately named place you could ever visit in NEPA. The outside? Simple and unassuming. The name makes you think that it’s a neighborhood hangout. Wrong, very wrong. Kevin’s is more of a classic Chicago steakhouse. Dimly light, great beer, wine and cocktails, and dishes that will blow your mind! From…

Aurants, Duryea oh Yay!

It’s hard to image how every local in NEPA isn’t aware of the restuarant serving sweet prosciutto banana pops, gouda smoked mac and cheese and bacon wrapped kiebasa. When like me, you’re not from here, it can take a few years to discover. The rest of the locals have had twenty plus years! To any local’s…
