Gastronaut Girls turned 3 this past June and I have to say that I couldn’t feel more accomplished as a writer, a traveler and not embarrassed to admit, an eater. While 800 Instagram followers and a few handfuls of blog readers isn’t that impressive, I am proud that sharing some of our favorite hobbies can … More Home Is Where You Roam
Spicy Garden in Manasquan has quickly become our favorite new take out spot. They’ve been open for about two months and they aren’t on social media yet. They are a Thai fusion restaurant containing classic dishes and selections from other Asian cuisines. Everything is really freakin’ good. The vegetables are fresh and the chicken is … More Spicy Garden – Manasquan, New Jersey
Bagel Station is our newest local bagel joint and unfortunately, we can walk there. These bagels are way too good and they’re about the size of your head. *see photo below* The outside has a perfect crisp and the inside is nice and chewy. Whether you’re eating there or taking out, a bagel sandwich makes … More Bagel Station – Spring Lake Heights, New Jersey
Our experience at Aarzu in downtown Freehold was nothing less than wonderful. From the excellent service to the unique dishes, it is obvious that this Indian restaurant is more noteworthy than any we’ve been to in a while. Most of the dishes that they offered on their brunch buffet were unlike anything we had tried … More Aarzu Modern Indian Bistro – Freehold, New Jersey

My very first thought when planning a road trip down south was “Chicken and waffles”. And after some extensive research, I found the perfect place. Dame’s Chicken and Waffles sat in a lively college town, Durham, just outside Raleigh. If the photos and unique menu combinations weren’t enough to persuade us that it would be … More Nibbling around North Carolina
The Poached Pear was such a delight. The atmosphere was cozy and intimate- freshly set up for the holiday season and the staff was warm and accommodating. Everything on the menu sounded wonderful, but we chose the garlic shrimp, crab cake appetizer, the chicken and the NY strip steak. We were definitely impressed with the … More The Poached Pear Bistro – Point Pleasant, New Jersey
It was such a privilege to be able to attend The Boca Raton Bowl’s 2017 Great Chefs Tailgate. Not only were we supporting college football, proceeds of the event went to the Spirit of Giving charity, just in time for the holiday season. It is always a treat to dine at local restaurants when visiting … More Boca Bowl Chefs Tailgate 2017
We stumbled upon Jade Garden late one night, while looking for a quick, inexpensive dinner that we could enjoy at home, while binge watching Shameless. Assuming this was just your typical hole-in-the-wall Chinese restaurant, with food us Jews know all too well from our childhood, we ordered what we’d usually eat. We got some variation … More Jade Garden – Belmar, New Jersey
Scotland was such a beautiful country. It was full of interesting history, amazing architecture, endless nature and kind people with harsh accents. Lerwick is a part of the Shetland Islands. There, we visited a unique small castle in an area called Scalloway and we pet some Shetland ponies. For lunch, we ate delicious fish and … More Sampling Scotland 2017
