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 [...]

Nice article in yesterday’s Intelligencer on Kerry and Roseann Burns, who own and run the Town Crier Bakery in Lahaska.

First, let’s get the whole price thing out of the way. Most people I know (“locals”) have avoided Earl’s for the last few years due to a rather [...]

By guest blogger Susan Sprague Yeske The chance to meet Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Lewis and Clark, and Betsy Ross doesn’t come along very often. Nor does the opportunity to dine on Colonial-style foods. But opportunity knocks each January in Bucks County, when the Cock ‘N Bull Restaurant in Peddlers Village reprises its Evenings in [...]

Granted, wings are, how shall I put it…a specialty all in themselves. Just read their descriptions of what makes a great wing. These guys are pros. My jealousy is mixed with awe. I [...]

We’re a week ahead of all of you. Since my sister and brother were visiting last week, and the whole Goldman clan was in one time zone, we had Thanksgiving last Friday. It was a blast. But kind of weird. Needless to say, we’re all feeling a little smug this week as everyone else is [...]

Everyone has their favorite ice cream place. Usually it’s local, and maybe because it’s associated with sweetness and warm summer evenings, people tend to be fiercely loyal. That’s why we are not going to rate ice cream purveyors in Bucks County (ha!), or even attempt to be comprehensive in our list. But for those of [...]

By guest blogger Emily Trostle Reasonably priced food? Beer that is brewed on-site to complement the menu? I’m there. And the Porterhouse Restaurant and Brew Pub in Lahaska fits the bill. The beer vats are the first thing you see as you step into this cozy restaurant. Coming around the corner into the dining area, [...]
