14by Jason Ruch For all you salmon lovers, the Di Bruno Bros. Seafood Department now offers high quality, fully sustainable, wild King Salmon fillets. These fish come directly from New Zealand, which we receive several times a week. Not to be confused with the Alaskan King, these salmon from “down under” run all year-round and [...]

06At the Brewer’s Plate on March 14th, we premiered a terrific new soup made with Beemster Gouda and Wild Devil Ale from Victory Brewing Company. Cheesy as it was, we paired it with a Philadelphia Soft Pretzel, making it the both the best cheese soup and pretzel sauce in history. After much pleading, I was [...]

01by Hunter Fike Sometimes, everything comes together perfectly. Last night the family convened to create a menu that involved very little preparation and even less of a plan. A modify-as-you-go, see-whats-in-the-pantry-and-roll-with-it theme that, amazingly, resulted in one of our greatest successes in recent memory. The dish? Ravioli, stuffed with Sweet Potatoes and Ricotta di Pecora [...]

08by Hunter Fike In honor of what could be the single greatest American sporting event, my family came together for a pot luck, all-American feast. Cornbread, Beef Chili, Potato Skins, Sweet Potato Chips and Mac and Cheese…starchy, yes, but quality comfort food for this time of year. And if there is an occasion to splurge [...]

06by Joe Colosi Bad wine is a very subjective term. To most, it simply implies that the drinker does not care for the taste. But there are specific ways in which a wine’s flavor can be unpleasantly altered. Hunter and I encountered such a bottle of Rioja, intending to complement the wine with cheese. Instead, [...]

16by Joe Colosi In honor of their second place finish in this year’s Euro Cup, we opted this week to drink German Riesling. I prefer to drink Riesling before or after a meal, and with the right cheese, it can play a part in a tasty appetizer or dessert. Hunter and I, with special guests [...]

19by Joe Colosi This week we tasted a delicious bottle of Schioppettino, a wine making a comeback after nearly being destroyed by a debilitating insect epidemic in Europe over a hundred years ago. The grape produces a medium-bodied dry table wine. We attempted as many pairings as were needed to find the right combination of [...]

31by Joe Colosi Sauvignon Blanc, one of the world’s most well known white wine grape varietals, is often drank within under four or five years. It tends to provide a tasty accompaniment to chicken and seafood dishes. Hunter provided a unique example from Touraine and, as usual, we drank and ate cheese until doing so [...]

13by Hunter Fike Sangiovese is one of the most commonly consumed wines in the world, and yet it is also one of the most under-appreciated. As the principal grape of Chianti, it is often associated with mass-produced table wine that comes in a jug and is hung above the bar in a wicker basket. However, [...]

03by Joe Colosi Sometimes drinking wine for two hours after work is a real drag. But we managed to have a good time when our friends Jim and Kristina Burke stopped by with two bottles of red wine. Both of this week’s pairings are available at the restaurant James, located on 8th st. between Christian [...]
