Miss Yunks had never been to The Fireplace, so when she saw the Boston Brunchers planned a brunch there she jumped on the opportunity to attend. Last Sunday, she trekked across town to join some lovely Brunchers in Brookline. The Brunchers were told we could order anything we wanted from the brunch menu. While I was deciding […]

Brunch at The Fireplace with Boston Brunchers
Product Review: Skinny Cow Divine Filled Chocolates
With Lent and Passover coming to a close, something indulgent was just what TFAW were looking for. And boy did we have to restrain ourselves patiently wait to open these puppies. Skinny Cow sent us boxes of their new Divine Filled Chocolates — in Caramel and Peanut Butter Crème. A la rolo or reeses peanut […]
Graffiato – Washington, DC
Last weekend was a good weekend. Two of A-Tooch’s obsessions made an appearance — Syracuse basketball and Top Chef. After the big Syracuse win, BF and I went searching for a celebratory dinner in the barren wasteland known as the area near the Verizon Center in DC. Enter: Top Chef contestant Mike Isabella’s Graffiato. Two […]
Roscoe Diner and the Happy Waitress
If you have ever traveled on Rt. 17 through upstate NY, you are well aware that it is the most barren, depressing road trip you can make. Until you hit the Roscoe Diner. On a recent trip I got my usual Happy Waitress — grilled cheese with bacon and tomatoes. Duh. Diner classic. This place […]
Product Review: Old Amsterdam Gouda

All positive energy (for the most part… unless you really irk us and we very seldom let […]
Where to Dine on the Upper East Side
It’s an urban legend that you die a slow foodie death when you move from downtown Manhattan to the Upper East Side. A-Tooch convinced herself that the money she would save in rent could be spent on cab fare to travel back downtown to eat. I’ll admit, I did not give the UES enough credit. […]
Rosa Mexicano Brunch
Sometimes it’s fun to bypass the standard pancakes for a really creative brunch dish. This is usually only the case for a (rare) non-hungover brunch because let’s face it, no one wants to try funky sauces, seafood or escargot after a night of heavy drinking. Straight bacon. At Rosa Mexico, A-Tooch went out on a […]
Left Bank – West Village
Recently, A-Tooch and foodie friend C sampled a refreshingly healthy dinner at Left Bank. Sourced from the market with a menu that changes daily, the plates were filled with delicious seasonal vegetables folded into unique plates. We were served an array of appetizers. My favorite was the Sauteed calamari with fava beans and other fresh […]
