A second go around...
which will turn into a third and a fourth and a five… and you get the point. Darin and I couldn’t stay away from Joe’s Farm Grill for too long. Luckily, we made it back there this weekend and boy, we weren’t the only ones unable to stay away! The line was out the door and the grounds were packed! Again, Darin and I decided we’d do the sharing thing so we’d get...
Mucho gusto
Darin and I had the honor of hosting two visitors, Corey and Ryan - Darin’s step brothers last week. And like any true New Yorkers, they had one thing on their minds after stepping off the plane. Ok, ok. Two - girls…and devouring a good ole’ Mexican style meal. Having been taken to Mexican my first day in town myself, I knew exactly where to suggest. TeePee. A family owned...

Joe's Real...ly Wasn't That Great
I like meat. The only thing better than meat, is meat on top of meat. Naturally, I was very excited to try a new BBQ place. Not that Joe’s Real BBQ is new, it’s been around 10 years, but this was our first time there. I had heard good things, and knowing it’s the same Joe that brought us our beloved Joe’s Farm Grill, we had somewhat lofty...
Chilly?
When one thinks of Arizona gloves, scarves and warm winter coats don’t come to one’s mind. Recently, Darin and I took a trip to good ole Prescott, Arizona and those items are just what we had to pack along for the ride.
Though only 1.5 hours of a drive from Scottsdale, Prescott was at least a good 40 degrees below our daily temps. After the intended...

Welcome to the Jungle
Ok. First off, this blog isn’t about GnR’s top hit. (Sorry to disappoint) However, the jungle I will speak of will bring you to your shun n,n,n,n„n,n„n,n,n„n,n„n knees, knees. Baby, this jungle is the Pita Jungle. I had my first encounter with Pita Jungle while visiting the Phoenix area with some friends from back home (Pennsylvania) in March. It was then I...
If there’s been one constant in my life over the past 3 to 4 years, its this - I WANT SAMANTHA BROWN’S JOB! I mean, how lucky? Not only does she get to travel the world, but does so while staying in top hotels, eating intricate cuisines and schmoozing with alluring locals. And Darin’s not much different. Anthony Bourdain - an idol in his eyes. There’s been plenty of...
I got an itch...
…and the only prescription is more scratch.
Now anyone who knows me, the dude, knows I’m not a big fan of the French. I think the only real direct contact I’ve had with french people was in sleepaway camp back in Massachusetts the summer between 8th and 9th grade. I wasn’t sure of much at 14 years old, but I knew I didn’t get along with French people. In fact, I find...
Welcome.
After many days of title contemplation, and even more of procrastination, Darin (the dude) and I (Julie, the bitch) have finally begun our journey into the unknown - the blog world. One common passion of ours is food - both savoring classic favorites and discovering noteworthy new delights. We’ve got lists galore of places we’ve been, we want to go and now (since our recent...
