Lancaster County Eats

Avi and I have been eating our way through Lititz and the surrounding countryside this Thanksgiving weekend.

First, dinner with the family (saffron noodles & brown corn are probably two of the most under appreciated foods ever in the all-time history of eating), Thanksgiving leftovers, Whoopie pies from Stauffers, Moravian Sugar Cake from Achenbach's and breakfast at The Pancake Farm.

If you're ever headed down this way, let us know. LOTS of great foodie haunts to check out, especially in the warmer months where there's a farm stand every few miles along the winding roads; skirting fields bursting not just with corn, but tomatoes, strawberries, beans, cantaloupes, watermelons, cucumber and potatoes.

BK Pie Bake Off.

Welcome to the 2nd Annual Brooklyn Pie Bake-Off Benefit that will take place on Sunday, November 14th, from 1:00 to 4:00pm at SPACECRAFT in Brooklyn.

The Brooklyn Pie Bake-Off Benefit is a yearly Brooklyn based pie bake-off that raises money for local underfunded non-profits.

There are only two rules for the Annual Pie Bake-Off Benefit. Rule One is that all pie crust must be homemade. Rule Two is that at least one ingredient must be local(our “local” is defined as being grown or produced within a 200 mile radius of Brooklyn).

To wash down each slice we will have milk from Ronnybrook and beer from Brooklyn Brewery.

The Alternative Press - New Jersey's Daily Hyperlocal Newspaper: Fresh In Basking Ridge Serves It Up!

Do you like food made with organic ingredients? Do you crave home made food, made with love? Freshly made salads that are crisp with organic greens, a grilled cheese sandwich on really great bread with smoky bacon and cheddar, how can you go wrong? There is something for nearly every taste available at Fresh.

Check out their cooler, filled with interesting sodas, juices, good ole' organic milk and several varieties of coconut water.

Remind yourself to bring some of that coconut water to mix with some Rhum Agricole to make a Tikki Bar Cocktail. (write me for the recipe)

How about an ice cream sandwich made with all natural ice cream stuffed between two home made cookies? I'm starved.

A recent trip to Fresh (562 Allen Road, Basking Ridge 908-719-9100 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 908-719-9100 end_of_the_skype_highlighting) the two year old restaurant located in Basking Ridge sought to dispel the common thought that healthy means bland.

The food at Fresh is so full of flavor that you want to graze your way through the menu, pausing to taste their chicken noodle soup. This elixer is a must keep for the freezer if you are ever feeling that cold coming on. Daily specials are posted on the board or on their easy to read website. Today's special: Grilled hanger steak with chimichurri speaks clearly of the commitment to prepare flavorful foods with a healthy slant. You won't be alone at Fresh. This place practically bustles on the weekdays at lunch, dinner is chockfull of families looking for a fun way to spend the evening.

Try to get in here on a Saturday and the place is just jamming with activity! Great music on the stereo, was that dub that I heard? Anything but elevator music here. This is a funky place with a great atmosphere. You are welcomed by one of the owners- a good sign to have an owner on site... Hanging out is ok, for owners Erik and Avianna Wolfe who practically brim with enthusiasm. This is their passion, their commitment for good food and great conversation. Push the tables together, bring some friends and share in this honest, healthy food made with real flavor!

Does the thought of a pulled pork sandwich with house made slaw and pickle slices curl your toes? If it does, find your way over to Fresh and tell them I sent you.

Cheers! wb
