My first delivery in the soupscription was a superb showcase for the full kaleidoscope of summer flavors. Both the Indian style chickpea vegetable salad and curried red lentil peach soup channeled Indian flavors with a twist, the former with amazingly fresh vegetables and herbs mixed in and the latter with peachy sweetness shining through. The late summer vegetable chili was comfort food perfection with a nice, chunky texture. The cucumber gazpacho however totally stole […]
With an all-but-cancelled spring behind us and a rather uncertain summer ahead, like many of you, I’ve been slowly coming to terms with the “new abnormal” we are now living in.

One such small business is Borough 22, whose eye-catching array of gluten-free and vegan doughnuts had me dreaming of them from across the pond. I definitely […]
If there’s been a theme emerging in my recent blog posts, it’s that I’ve been delightfully surprised by new-to-me fast casual restaurants that have elevated the build-a-bowl model to exciting new levels.
