Terra Preta – Real Farm to Table Eats in Scranton

Meat lovers and vegans can enjoy a meal together at downtown Scranton’s Terra Preta. While perhaps not affordable on a weekly basis for the average foodie, Terra Preta mixes an upscale environment with down to earth hospitality. Between seasonal menu items, like mushroom crepes, butternut squash & cashew cheese lasagna, and pork belly topped twice baked potatoes, and…

Le Manhattan Bistro – Wilkes Barre, Pa

‘Where are we?’ We literally blindly followed the advice of friends, which is always a 100% totally reliable way to make meal choices, to come to Le Manhattan. We knew there was French food, that fellow Traveling Circus fiends liked the place, and that was it. We had fallen head over heads for the menu. It was a blind-date…

Ipanema Grille Brazilian Steakhouse

Ipanema Grille is the only Brazilian Steakhouse in Scranton, PA, offering the amazing Rodizio. This is the best meal choice. Period. Your server brings fire roasted, skewered meats over to your table to carve and serve.  You can taste more than 12 mouthwatering meats, and enjoy some delicious options from the hot buffet, if you need…

Insomniac Cafe (No Longer Stinky’s)

Come by, he said. Bring me your bacon, he said. I’ll cook it all, he said. And he did. Rob, is the the owner and genius behind Stinky’s Chili, or as it’s known now, Insomniac Cafe. The menu…exists in theory, but Rob is willing to pretty much make whatever you want as long as he…

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…

Maps Restaurant AKA a Fantastic Foodie Voyage

Noms the word. Everyone, even the non pork lovers, agree that the bacon wrapped potatoes at Map’s Restaurant is worth going for seconds. The entire place is worth more than a second glance, though you wouldn’t guess it from the outside. An unassuming name, the inside is seaworthy and just on the right side of cheese and…

Shawnee Craft Brewery: The Throwback Tour

See where the food is grown, the beer brewed, and then sit down to dinner with the two. The grounds of the Shawnee Inn and Resort have everything you need for the perfect restaurant (though there’s a few on the grounds),  the Shawnee  Craft Brewery Company and the farm, which you can see in this post. Now…
