The chef's been there a long time....why would he be "tweaking" things ?

The Log Cabin is no longer open

Yes..that's the one I was looking for Thanks maria lorraine !!

Can't find a recipe featured on Chowhound this week, maybe 2 or 3 days ago.
It used a spicy clove liquoer with Prosecco or champagne.
Help please !!

Hi Cindy

Thanks for the heads up ! I'll head that way either Thurs or Fri.....

mrbeachy.....are you from the Pittsburgh area ? Marilyn

sdhitch.....the pastry chef is Andy and should be there until
the end of June. Doneckers is not taking any reservations after June 30th.

sdhutch.....I'll see if I can get some info about the pastry chef..

Doneckers Restaurant and the entire Doneckers complex will be closing.

Dorney Park Day...try the Grille 3501, either lunch or dinner. It is excellent, and
it almost sits in Dorney Park's backyard....just a few minutes away.

Thanks for the tips....I'll be traveling alone (female), I may just get over the bridge before I start looking for places to stop. I'm going to pick up a new puppy :) and my destination is Mcgregor. Jim M..
thanks for the websites.

Thanks for the replies. I've never been to the area, is it easy to get to from I-75 and how bad is the construction area ? Mexicantown sounds like a good stop on the way home (PA) too. Whats the best time to cross the bridge, somehow avoiding too much traffic ? Thanks again !!

Looking for a nice lunch stop before crossing into Canada.
Not picky can be anything.

Thanks

I would love to hear about it ...Thanks

Yes it is closed.....notice was in the Reading paper today.

when grinding flax seeds, you should use it within 15
minutes as it loses it's potency quickly

I'm West of Reading and the Fratelli is very good, been going there since it opened.
They do have a new chef. The previous chef opened the Amuse Bistro in Anneville,
food is very good. Their service needs some improvement. Amuse is a BYOB.
Nikos is in the old market house in Lebanon, also very good. great old building.

What about Krazy Kats ? Isn't that south of Winterthur ? I haven't been there yet but I would like to try it. http://www.krazykatsrestaurant.com

I too would rec Sovana, one of my favorites.

What a great job you did ! Are you a professional Chef ? If you say no I will be doubly impressed ! Your choice of Prosecco is my choice also, love Riondo.

To let you know..Mazzi is no longer open for Breakfast or Lunch...it's
Dinner only. Too bad..they served a very good Sunday Brunch.

does anyone have a source to buy the St George Absinthe on the East Coast ?

bluesuede...how did you like Russo's...I forgot about that place...it is much
better than it was...the Grande family now owns it. They use to have Casa Grande Restaurant. There is alot of good stuff at Russo's and they now make
prepared foods to go. They also make their own Italian sausage.

Where do the foodies go to shop around here?.......

Wegmans in Downingtown, Whole Foods in Wayne and Trader Joes on 202 !
I do shop the Giant on Van Reed. I'm starting to miss all the farm stands for fresh
vegetables, especially Petes Produce near West Chester.

Talulah's looks like a gourmet food deli with take out dinners.
Everything sounds very nice.

What's "down the street" ?

Here's another good one...Savory Grille, Seisholtzville Pa, which is near
Macungie

The ketchup is very good, thick, with a nice flavor, they use their
Brandywine tomato in it. I used it Sat nite on grilled burgers and
after the burgers were gone I found my husband eating more ketchup with a spoon !! The other bottled item we like is their Vidallia onion/peppercorn dressing.
When does Pete's close for the season ? I may have to stock up on a few things for winter !!

that is funny !!! I'll be down around Frazer tomorrow and then on to
Petes. Have you tried Petes Ketchup ? bought some last week
haven't tried it yet.
