Mealtime! #16

November 5th, 2009 | 3 Comments

What: Flag Pizza (large, 16″) Where: Joe Squared (133 W North Ave., Charles North) How Much: $23 (yikes!) Synopsis: Posting anything about Joe Squared is kind of an afterthought since practically everyone knows it’s a superior place to get a ‘gourmet’ pizza. And this pizza, split into three different pizzas (standard cheese, four cheese, pesto and mozzarella) is living …er, pizza proof of that. Each section has a distinct flavor, and the 16″ pie was large enough to split between 3 people. Which for $23 comes out to be around 8 bucks a head, which is pretty reasonable. I did note, however, that the “flag” aspect of the pizza is supposed to be Italy (right?) but the cheddar adorning the middle portion makes it yellow, which apparently is the flag for Mali. Eh, whichever … Read entire article »

Mealtime! #13

October 2nd, 2009 | 2 Comments

Continuing the “I’m a big dumb tourist who likes to follow Anthony BOREdain’s travels” Mealtime! series… What: Cold Seafood Platter, Calamari Appetizer Where: Mo’s Crab and Pasta Factory How Much: $15.99 for the platter, $8.99 for the calamari Synopsis: I have heard ten billion horror stories and ten billion happy stories about the service and quality of food at Mo’s over the years, and by the time I got there after not having been there since the age of about six, I was ready for pretty much anything. I can say pretty safely now that Mo’s is a place for locals, and the people who get pissed off about the service are tourists or transplants. It’s as simple as that. I won’t go into why for the sake of wall of text syndrome, just trust … Read entire article »

This bonus Mealtime! comes directly from Twitter user @juliemore! The power of the internet. What: Mozzarella, prosciutto and pesto on foccacia (plus wine, pine nuts, pastries and olive oil). Where: Trinacria Macaroni Works (map) How Much: $5.95 for the sandwich, $30 for everything.

Mealtime! #8

What: Ham and Cheddar wrap (w/ lettuce, tomato, etc.) Where: Wharf Rat (801 S. Ann St. – map) How Much: $7.95 – because they charged for the wrong thing. Actual price was $5.95 Synopsis: I’m going to make this as short and sweet as possible because it’s such a basic meal – the wrap had good flavor, it was toasted on the outside, but it was way too small. (If you’d like to submit your own mealtime entry, follow the simple guidelines and email me!) … Read entire article »
