Air Fryer Buttermilk Chicken

Like everyone else in January, I’m making a conscious effort to eat a bit better. The ole lad bought a Philips Air Fryer before Christmas and I was interested in trying it out. I was a bit sceptical about the air fryer. The only thing I ever fry in a significant […]

What I ate in NYC

A few people have asked me what I ate in NYC. I’ve talked about Eleven Madison Park in another post. This post is just about all the other food I ate while in New York. I’ve been to New York about 10-12 times. It’s a family tradition of ours to […]

The White Moose Cafe

I don’t think there’s a dog on the street who hasn’t heard about The White Moose Cafe. The owner, Paul Stenson, has had social media buzzing with his war on vegans, breastfeeding mothers and the gluten intolerant. Even news channels across the Atlantic have been talking about him. He’s the guy […]

Banyi Japanese

Banyi Japanese is located on Bedford Row in Temple bar. Honestly, I tend not to go to restaurants in Temple Bar that often because I see them as overpriced and a bit gimmicky. However, Banyi Japanese doesn’t fall into either of those categories. I’ve had sushi delivered from Banyi Japanese a handful […]

The Delicious Food Company

I’ve been a fan of The Delicious Food Company for awhile now. I love the convenience of their products and knowing that I’m not getting mass produced food that lacks any sort of flavour. All their food is made in a kitchen and not a factory which is evident instantly by […]
