Last month we talked with Sharon Schwartz about her evolution into a fine home chef. This month, we offer part two. Sharon talks about why she decided to “go organic,” and her favorite sources for ingredients in Bucks County. In her own words… I started to get interested in healthy food choices when I was pregnant [...]
Figuring It Out: Pure, Safe, Organic, Local…?
Posted in Other Things About Food, tagged local produce, organic, sustainable agriculture on March 28, 2009 | 1 Comment »
A lot of things have been swirling around in my head lately. Maybe too many. But as we’ve gotten deeper into the Bucks County food scene, I’ve been forced to pay attention to some things that I have pushed – I’m ashamed to say – to the periphery. Namely, where does my food come from? [...]
Focused on Burgers

I’ve always had this thing about focus. When I have my midlife crisis, it might be about starting a business that makes, say, stair risers, or nothing but chocolate ice cream. I’m not sure what it is that attracts me to that kind of thing – maybe I’ve been following too many people on Twitter [...]

Directly across from the Delaware River in Yardley is Charcoal Steaks N’Things, a bright steakhouse that is truly family style in a way chain steakhouses only claim to be. First thing to know: This is a BYOB place. It’s not big on décor – it feels kind of like a new Perkins, without the kitsch. [...]
Our Visit to Sweet Lorraine’s
Posted in Restaurants, tagged Lahaska, Sweet Lorraine's on March 28, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Sweet Lorraine’s Café & Bar calls itself “a casual, fun and hip eatery,” smack in the midst of Lahaska’s Peddler’s Village. Casual? yes. Fun? Sure. Hip. I dunno. I’m coming up on 49 and don’t consider myself a real judge of that. But I will say that, the night Lynne and I stopped in for [...]
Soup and Seafood in Doylestown
Posted in Restaurants, tagged Doylestown, Pennsylvania Soup & Seafood House on March 8, 2009 | 1 Comment »
The Pennsylvania Soup and Seafood House is an unlikely name for a restaurant knitted into the miniature and upscale mall that is the Doylestown Market Place at 22 South Main Street. That, at least, was my wrongheaded knee-jerk reaction when Lynne suggested we try it on a bitterly cold Monday lunchtime. Truth is, the Soup [...]
