by guest blogger Rich Baringer, For as long as I can remember, the little roadhouse on the corner of Old Bethlehem Road and Rt. 563 near Lake Nockamixon State Park, was known as Cappie’s. It wasn’t the kind of place that I frequented, but it was sort of an institution until it closed a number [...]

It was a cold and wintry February afternoon. The snow was laying thick and fast. (No, this isn’t the beginning of a bad novel. It really was snowing hard. You remember last February?) A couple of people had mentioned this great restaurant in Flemington (“Flemington?”) named Matt’s Red Rooster Grill. So I was surfing the [...]

When was the last time you went to a restaurant – for the first time – and immediately started discussing with your partner, “who can we bring here?” wanting to share your good find as soon as possible? We just did last Friday. Our conversation took place at a restaurant and bar on River Road [...]

If you’ve ever been to the Pineville Tavern in the summer months, you may have noticed – or even ordered – an appetizer called, “Freddie’s Tomatoes.” It is the quintessential summer dish. Fresh tomatoes, sliced thick, sprinkled with crumbled blue cheese and thin slices of red onion, and finished with a splash or two of [...]

Wow. Can’t believe how much is going on this weekend. Sorry if I’ve been a little sparse on the posts this week. Still hobbling around the house with my torn ACL. It’s a drag. Literally. Some highlights for this weekend? On Saturday, how about the 28th Annual R&B Picnic by the Bucks County Blues Society, being [...]

There’s been a trend over the past few years. A good one. It combines eating fresh, seasonal and local food with fine cooking in an al fresco environment, often on a farm, sometimes in a restaurant. These “farm-to-table” dinners are springing up everywhere and they are a delight. You get to enjoy fresh, well-prepared food [...]

They’re ba-a-a-ck! Basically Burgers, in case you didn’t know, is a wonderful little family-run restaurant in Doylestown that produces delicious and innovative burgers. After being forced out of their other location on State St. (see our previous post), they have finally reopened at 33 North Main Street, right at the intersection of Main and Court Streets (east [...]

I had an amazing day yesterday. I’m working on an article about grass-finished meat being raised here in Bucks County. The morning took me up to Springtown to interview Nevada Mease, who along with his father, Jeff, and mom, Cheyenne, raise grass-finished Black Angus cattle on their beautiful property, Meadow Brook Farm. Then it was [...]

Earl’s Bucks County has just started their own garden “out back” behind the Peddler’s Village restaurant, populated with organic herbs and vegetable plants from Peace Tree Farm in Kintersville. Pretty cool. The produce will, of course, be used in the restaurant all season long. Kitchen gardens are a practice that has become more common among restaurants [...]

Make sure you catch two articles in particular in this week’s Bucks County Herald (only online for two weeks).

Diana also includes a recipe for [...]

One of the challenges of doing this blog is that we sometimes have to overcome our biases. I’ve lived in Central Bucks for nearly twenty years now, Mark only six years, but he lived across the river for twenty years too. New Hope has become in our minds that place where tourists go, with a [...]
