“All American” Cocktail Party at Sullivan’s Steakhouse
ORIGINALLY POSTED July 26, 2019 – This was my second invitation to Sullivan’s Steakhouse in King of Prussia to cover one of their Signature Tasting Dinners. They named this one “All American” Cocktail Party because it had that “Mad Men” classic cocktail flavor, but with some new twists perfect for summer. Of course it wouldn’t be a pairing dinner if we didn’t have a fabulous menu designed by Nicholas Deberardinis – Executive Chef.

The Bicycle Chef’s Collingswood Food Swap with Spirit
My friend Denine (aka The Bicycle Chef) started a Food Swap in Collingswood, New Jersey, that’s gaining great momentum. For anyone unfamiliar with a Food Swap it’s for all those foodies out there that are more than just good in the kitchen; in addition, they like to pickle things and make large batches of stuff, it’s for those that like to vacuum seal a glass jar and do some old-fashioned canning. And for those that specialize in sauces and spreads. And most of all, find adorable and handy ways of displaying and presenting such delectables. None of this is me, far too much effort involved.
