Sharing my #OffbeatEats review of Cedar Street Café in Sturbridge, MA. Another great option for breakfast or lunch around Sturbridge, and a great classic Monte Cristo.

Sharing my #OffbeatEats review of The Duck in Sturbridge, MA. Great classic tavern food in a converted barn loft, including an excellent Thursday night prime rib special.
Sharing my #OffbeatEats review of White River Junction's Cappadocia Cafe. From the same owners as Tuckerbox Turkish next door, Cappadocia is a cafe and bakery serving authentic wood-fired flatbreads, pastries, and other traditional Turkish baked goods. And their pide is one of the best breakfast options in the UV:

Sharing my #OffbeatEats review of Farmer and the bell in Woodstock, VT. The former pop-up is now a full bakery, with some of the best French-cruller-style donuts I've ever had. Definitely worth a stop.

Sharing my #OffbeatEats "Health Check" re-visit to one of my oldest reviews: Bates Hamburgers in Livonia, MI. One of the best places to get "sliders" in the Detroit Metro area, and still serving up the same quality as my first visit almost 35 years ago.
Sharing my #OffbeatEats review of The Taco Factory in Livonia, MI. Good burritos and great tacos in a cozy little strip mall location.

Sharing my #OffbeatEats review of Cork & Gabel in Detroit's Corktown neighborhood. Nominally a fusion of German, Irish, and Italian cuisines, we went for their brunch menu. While they were out of schnitzel(!), the crispy pork belly breakfast sandwich was a great treat.
Sharing my #OffbeatEats review of another Flagstaff spot: Diablo Burger. I always like a good chile cheeseburger after an Arizona backpacking trip, and Diablo Burger serves up a great one. Definitely on my top 10 list.
Sharing my #OffbeatEats review of El Tapatio in Flagstaff, AZ. One of the best amongst Flagstaff's many Mexican restaurants, with particularly good fajitas and molcajetes. But the house-made guacamole? Sublime.
Sharing my #OffbeatEats review of The Frybread Lounge in Scottsdale, AZ. An Indigenous-owned restaurant serving up some sublimely delicious frybread and other traditional treats.
(And yes, I discuss the complicated and often problematic history of frybread)
