I really like Royal Tavern. They have a beautiful bar, dim lighting, and are very veggie/vegan friendly. Unfortunately, I don’t live close, so I don’t get there very often. But when I can convince someone to make the trip, I go. I’ve been thinking about this amazing “BLT” since a friend ordered it the last [...]

Egg Cup at Gold Standard Cafe
There’s been a lot of speculation in West Philly about the Gold Standard Cafe, run by the folks who brought us the notoriously mediocre Abbraccio.

Baltimore: The Golden West
Señor Lanky had some work to do in Baltimore, so I tagged along to visit our friends Laura and John, who moved down about a year ago. They took us to a wonderful and funny Tex-Mex restaurant called The Golden West Cafe, located on 36th St., “the avenue” in John Waters’ funky Hampden neighborhood. The [...]
