A midsummer afternoon at the diner with my darling
So Swift Half Pub was packed thanks to Fifa world cup. PYT was better but still no seating immediately available. But that’s ok, perfect chance to try something new. So where to go? Darling’s Diner what else. I never been here before but always pass by it on the way to PYT or somewhere else in the Piazza. As a matter fact, I’ve read some good things about Darling’s but never felt the urge to go. Well, that hasn’t changed but thanks to Swift Half and PYT being so busy, it was the next alternative.
Since it wasn’t our initial choice, is it good though? Is there a reason it’s an alternative and not a immediate choice? My darling why don’t we find out!
PYT’s Buffalo Burger, looks like the bison I killed in Oregon Trail
I been to PYT more times than I can count on my hands and feets. But it’s been a while since I last wrote about it. We went on Saturday for lunch because it was such a nice day. Unfortunately, the clouds were moving in and it turned overcast quicker than you can say springfield buffalo burger. Doesn’t kill my excitement though. Especially eating an animal as big as a Escalade and almost as much furry as Chewbacca.
As good as the burgers are, it’s more exciting because there’s usually a special weekly burger that is available for a limited time. This time, I had the Springfield Buffalo Burger. Why? Because it’s a bison burger. How often does that happen? Not sure and I don’t care. Must try.
So was it good? Did it taste funny? Let’s go to where the buffaloes roam and find out.
Summer is coming, so is my appetite for tons of grilled beef
This is the triple cheeseburger I had over the weekend. It was my 4th burger. My first one was a double, then I had 2 single patty burgers, then ended it with a triple. I have a hard time controlling myself around a grill. I need to go to barbeques anonymous or something.
Well, I will easily tell you the summer is my favorite season. When I think of summer, I think of barbeques, beaches, long warm days, sweating, and being outside and getting roasted by the sun on a daily basis.
Barbeques is one of the things I most look forward to come summer. I like having friends and family around, and being outside and enjoying everyone’s company, especially people who I have not seen in a while. I had a taste (twice actually) of summery barbeque this weekend and it left me wanting more - good thing there’s another one this weekend.
What kind of things do you look forward to during summer.
Bobby Flay’s Burger Palace, Philly’s new burger king?
What do we have here? It’s a Bobby Flay restaurant.
It’s been almost a week since Bobby Flay opened his 5th “fast casual burger concept.” I have no idea what that means but Bobby’s Burger Palace just opened this past Tuesday. Ever since I started reading Philly food blogs over a year ago, burger joints seem to have become a dime a dozen.
BUT. Regardless of how many there are, no two are ever the same. So how does Bobby’s burger palace compare to some of the hometown faves such as PYT or 500 degrees? Is Bobby Flay Philly’s burger king? Let’s find out!
A plate by any other name would taste just as good
So Sunday rolls around and where would you go if you were hungry? Did you just say brunch? I thought so. Dim sum? I had that like a week ago so let’s not overdo it now.
On this gorgeous Sunday, we went to Plate in surburban square. Don’t know where Suburban Square is? Neither do I because it was my first time there. It’s a nice area with some shops that’s basically invented to allow you to take leisurely strolls with your bff. Don’t have a bff? No problem, find one at Plate Suburban Square.
