Guest Reviewer: SEASALT Cape May NJ (BYOB)
With so many intriguing items on the menu we quickly agreed to order different items each and to permit liberal sharing. Appetizer highlights were the raw oysters- briny and fresh and just perfect with the dry J Vineyards sparkling wine, as well as the Lobster Ravioli with brown butter, grilled asparagus and grape tomatoes- a bit too rich for the well balanced Pinot Noir from Chalk Hill but...

Goose Island Beer Migration Week in Philly RECAP
My latest blogging invitation came from Chicago based Goose Island Beer, a craft beer company started by John Hall, 25 years ago, upon his return from traveling throughout Europe. Goose Island Beer is currently on a Migration tour to visit beer loving cities in the US and one of the first stops of course, was Philly! The evening started at MANNA (2323 Ranstead) where we were invited to a Pretzel Cooking Demonstration, Beer Pairing Class. I thought I’d left work in time to make a 6pm event start time, but I didn’t know about the trolley work being done between 40th & 22nd street, this completely threw me off schedule…
