The journey of love style and taste..
This site ~ This Blog is your connection into my world, and the journey, love, style and taste of the culinary creations that are around us and abroad. I am hoping by the words that I write about different places I go, will give you access and bring not only a flow of salivating to your mouth but, refuge and tastes that will captivate you and place a permanent smile on your face.…
I grew up in the burbs of Connecticut.. I thought that was the life.. And there was nothing better.. I was also not very leading in a way when, it came to change and new places to live.. Oh yeah, I wanted to see the world, but to live in these places I dreamt of going to, was not my way of happiness in life I was comfortable with where I was.... Until.. I had to move to Florida due to no money and no job.. Florida grew on me.. I become a beach/Florida Boy.. Became friends with a lot of people that were like family to me.. And Florida jumped started my career and life for me.. Then I came to Philly.. Not by choose but, because I needed to be. There are a lot of things in life that I want to have and be, but knowing the priorities in my life and the love I have for my Family and Parents… Comes 1st..
I am not a city Boy.. Nor do I think I am still, but.. There are a lot of things that I really enjoy and love about the City of Philly.. The diversity of people.. Which comes with the diversity of Restaurants. One in particular.. Khyber Pass Pub..
There are a lot of Pubs out there that I believe purchase a cookie cutter mold from other pubs and duplicate.. Which leaves the Customer/Guest with the lack of warmth, love and an atmosphere that is like family.. Being one of a kind brings your dreams to fruition and success is what people are looking for..
Khyber Pass Pub has that.. I was having a hard and long day at work and a couple of friends.. Fellow culinarians asked me to see this new Bill Murray movie and then to this authentic Louisianan Restaurant with them.. We walked through the door and was greeting from people that actually had a look as if they cared.. It was laid back yet all our needs were taken care of..
We sat at the Bar and I glanced at the beer selection on tap here that was wonderfully diverse. Brands that you find and brewed only in Philadelphia and Jersey. For example “1st… Abby gift of the magi, Flying Dog snake Dog, Duck Rabbit Amber, and one that I really enjoyed PBC Kenzinger. It was a lite amber.. My friends ordered the BBQ brisket sandwich and the other friend a burger… and I heard silence.. Nothing from their mouths.. The only thing I can come up with is that they had feeling like they were in heaven with the beautiful tastes… Why do I think that.. Because normally you can’t shut them up.. They go on like gossip girls..
I had always wanted to go to New Orleans and the Louisianan area.. As a Chef the deep need to explore other chef’s and restaurant cultures is born in us.. I wanted to try what real Cajun~ Creole food was like.. I had never had a Po-Boy.. And what better to experience it for the 1st time then having a Half and Half Po-Boy.. Fried Shrimp and Fried oysters on a Leidenheimer Roll, dressed with lettuce, tomato, pickles and Mayo.. Which I understand are the standard dressings for a Po-Boy. I had a side to choose from and I went with Mac and Cheese of course.. I said that as a question to the waiter and my friends were like … “Oh yeah” Like I would be nuts not too.. Sometimes the majority knows better.. LOL It was not as good as my Mom’s Mrs. E’s Mac and Cheese.. That goes’ without saying.. But I said it anyway huh….but.. Just the same…. I loved it.. It had a nice small spicy bite to it, and it had a texture of Bread crumbs that went well with the creaminess‘.
The half and Half was out of this world off the hook great.. It was loaded with shrimp and Oysters.. You can tell that they were not afraid of the economy that the guests satisfaction was more important.. It was not too much, and it was not too little, it was just the right amount of seafood on a sandwich.. I immensely enjoyed the Po-Boy.. Made me scream out Ooo wee that good cookin.. Well, I was thinking it..
All, I need to say now is that if you have not or not in a long time come to experience Philadelphia, Pa.. and all the rich culture that it provides, you need to.. Contact me and I would be more then happy to go with you.. Khyber Pass Pub has to be on our trail blazing though.. (~:
