Foodle

Best South Indian restaurant chain on the east coast @ammassouthindiancuisine just brought its bold, comforting classics to Mount Laurel, NJ & this new location is a vibe.
Think:
✔️ BYOB
✔️ Lunch buffet
✔️ Halal
✔️ Live dosa station every Wednesday on the patio
✔️ A full banquet room for family & celebrations with a projector!
.
From crispy dosas to spicy Chettinad curry, to healthier grilled tandoori options this place knows how to bring the heat & hospitality.
Whether you’re in Philly or Jersey, Amma’s is a must.
.
.
My personal recommendations will include show stopping Dosas, chicken 65, parathas & Biryanis!

There’s something magnetic about @mainstreetbakeryeatery 🥯✨

You won’t find fussy plating or overhyped trends here, just honest, thoughtful food. I stopped in for a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich, served on what might be the softest English muffin I’ve had in years. For $7.25, it’s an unpretentious breakfast that overdelivers in all the right ways.

Five families came in while I waited—some familiar with the location, some newcomers here on their annual family vacation. The register never sat still, but somehow nothing ever felt rushed.

Kim, both the owner and baker, and I talked for a while about the early mornings she spends prepping the day’s baked goods and how this little café has grown since she first opened its doors nearly five years ago.

You’d never guess it’s still relatively new as Main Street Bakery already feels deeply rooted in the community of North Myrtle Beach. Less

The second Sunday of the month means lunch can be had @copineproject. The menu depends on the whim of chef @shaunmccrain. Limited seating at the bar only & reservations are a must. Today's menu was an ode to summer. Highlights included a fruit salad of compressed watermelon with strawberries, pistachio cream, chevre & dukkah; brandade raviolo in parmesan dashi with artichoke, olive, tomato & basil; and peach melba with raspberries & a vanilla tuille, a dessert beautifully matched with a delicate young sherry by @rate_my_pair. Copine will cease to exist by year's end. Enjoy it while you can.

Freyja Croissant Bakery, located in Campbell River and Courtney, sells Scandinavian style croissants, elevated. What’s a Scandinavian croissant, you ask? The big difference is sourdough does the heavy lifting, ie., leavening, rather than the quicker, easier yeast method. It adds an extra measure of flavour. Lamination includes 27 folds and it’s a three-day process to complete. New Zealand butter amps up flavour.
Owners Emese and Géza Toth-Harasztos take it further, with croissant gymnastics, working the dough into inventive shapes with yummy fillings. Such as — the decadent Almond Cherry Dome with a lattice top. It’s filled with morello cherry jam and whipped almond ganache and dipped in almond chocolate. Or the carrot cake double-baked croissant another shape shift, far from its French origin— it’s filled with almond-based carrot cake frangipane and topped with whipped cream frosting infused with Madagascar vanilla. Chocolate bowtie croissant is cross-laminated and filled with dark chocolate creme. My fave? Pistachio croissant. It’s filled with a white chocolate based pistachio ganache and sprinkled with pistachios.
Should you wish a lunch-y option, there’s the cream cheese and spinach roulé with Pecorino cheese or a canoe-shaped pizza croissant with organic marinara sauce, chorizo, Fontina, bubbling and flaky as can be.

Next up on the Texas tour: an acclaimed Austin joint that I’ve been meaning to get to for a while now: @interstellarbbq. Definitely a strong Austin vibe. On the platter: ribs, turkey and peach tea-glazed pork belly cubes, plus smoked scalloped potatoes (yum!) and something called “South Texas Pork Hash” over jasmine rice. (Described as “Carolina-style,” but we definitely don’t put ancho, guajillo + pasilla peppers in ours.)

The coup de grace, though, was the rich, dark BBQ duck leg confit with a honey-like sorghum glaze.

Standout bite: that duck.

Stop #2 on the Charleston and Parts West BBQ Tour: @palmirabbq

Board highlights this time around: pernil (generously seasoned/spiced pork shoulder pit smoked and pulled into long shreds), beef cheeks (required), and spicy Italian sausage in a curiously long, skinny casing (but meaty, smoky and savory inside.) Plus the Puerto Rican beans and a big tub of that mysteriously flavored hash and rice, of course . . .

Pretty sure the "Line Starts Here" sign is new. As is the line out the front door onto the sidewalk even at the 3:00 pm . . . #wordisout
