Bleh home wings
I’m so unhappy with these. Grilled on the propane. Started out frozen – thawed then marinated in Italian Dressing as a test. The sauce was Frank’s, butter, cayane, Worstershire, and honey. It was no good. Worth a try, but sadly a fail.

Mario’s – Some basic pizza from a great old Italian place in Lexington, MA
I usually order the Buffalo Chicken Calzone when visiting Mario’s, but sometimes I’m in a pizza mood. To be fair, oftentimes I’m in a pizza moode. The ‘small’ size is more than adequate for one person. Maybe two. But in my case, it’s one. Parking is easy on the street or in the metered parking…

A little homemade pan pizza
Dough: Market Basket plain dough Sauce: Wegman’s fresh sauce Cheese: Wegman’s shredded whole milk mozz. Toppings: Cooking: 450 oven in a cookie sheet for ~15mins Review: I liked the way this came out. The dough needed to get used up so I was happy to make it easy. I should have left it in longer…

Ruby’s Rt. 1 Maine – 2026 Summer Update
I had the time to re-vsit Ruby’s yesterday on Rt. 1 in Maine. This was a Friday afternoon visit with my daughter. She was cold from being in the ocean (York Beach is awesome and so is the arcade there!) so we requested to sit at one of the outside tables. So one positive: The…

Alton Brown’s Latest: Air Fryer Wings, Episode 35
Not a post about a plate of wings this time — a post about someone else’s. Alton Brown’s YouTube series Alton Brown Cooks Food put out Episode 35, “Fry Some Air,” covering air fryer wings: a dry seasoning approach plus a buttery finishing sauce, worked out with his usual over-engineered precision. Watch it: Alton Brown…

SliceWorks, Berlin CT: Just Okay, Nice People
No photo — a spontaneous stop in Berlin, CT the day before this post, late morning. The pizza itself was just okay. The staff, though, were genuinely nice about it: no pre-made pepperoni slices ready to go, so they tried to fake one together on the spot — and didn’t quite get the pepperoni properly…

Colonial Inn, Concord MA: Good Wings, a Little Salty
A late lunch at the Colonial Inn in Concord, MA, Thursday, August 13th — the dark, low-ceilinged pub room, not the main dining room, and the kitchen was far enough away that the fryer was never actually audible. The wings were sauced just enough and plated well, though on the salty side. Lunch crowd skewed…

Backyard Wings, Finally Some Sun
Late July 2026, grass visible in the background instead of a kitchen table — the wings finally made it outside. Whatever the occasion, backyard-plus-blue-sky-plus-wings is close to an unbeatable combination, and this archive has been waiting a long time for one entry to actually happen outdoors. Recipe inspiration for your own backyard batch: RecipeTin Eats’…

Breakfast Pizza From a Gas Station, and It Ruled
Excellent breakfast pizza — scrambled eggs, bacon, a cheddar-mozzarella blend, cut into wide slices — and here’s the part that actually matters: it came from a Kwik Fill gas station in South Wales, NY. Not a pizzeria with a breakfast side hustle. An actual gas station, doing this well. Rural gas-station food service is genuinely…

Wing Night in Buffalo: Gabriel’s Gate in Allentown
Two plates of wings, one table, one very clear verdict on how to spend an afternoon in Buffalo’s Allentown District: at Gabriel’s Gate, tucked into one of the original Tift Row houses built back in 1864. The order came out as a split plate — classic hot on one side, a darker, glossier barbecue-style glaze…
