Great Chili fries

Joey B's Famous Chili Hub
118 River Rd
Cos Cob, CT 06807

It's a very small diner with the capacity of 10 indoor and 20 outdoor. The diner is known for the chili so I had to try the chili fries. It was spicy and meaty. I had to tried there 3 hotdogs in a bun, which was very fulfilling. The meal was okay. It came out to be around 28 bucks.

Very excited that it was my first time to have a garbage plate. A Garbage Plate is a combination of one selection of cheeseburger, hamburger, red hots, white hots, Italian sausage, chicken tender, fish (haddock), fried ham, grilled cheese, or eggs; and two sides of either home fries, French fries, baked beans, or macaroni salad. It's the level of grossness and goodness.

We went to a warehouse in the back. Luckily the line wasn't line since I always hear that it's always packed. The meal was decent since we printed out the $2.00 off coupon on their website. My meal came out to be around 8 bucks. The food was good. Definitely filled me up. Not sure if I could have garbage all the time but it was a good experience.

In a small town of Utica, where the population is very minute but they are known for there breweries. We went to a place call Nail Creek. It's a cute house like pub. We stayed outside to catch the sun. What I appreciate the most is that the food is made from scratch, affordable and it's delicious. Definitely, the spinach artichoke was my best dish.

I kept hearing about Mary Ann's and wanted to try it out. Since the one in Portchester has been relocated, I definitely need to try it out. I love the interior decor: it looks like a puebla, like it brings us to their home. The service is good. My margarita was pretty strong. We ordered chicken fajita and guacamole. I didn't have a big appetite but my guacamole was delicious.

If Portchester is far from you then you can check out their franchise in Tribeca and Chelsea in the Metro Area.

My sister and I had brunch around artsy spot at 23rd st. We were a bit hungry and wanted food. Rafaella was the closet other than pizzerias. I love Rafaella because it reminds me of Paris. Relaxing music and cute comfy seats, and there even cushion couch to sit on. We got the $12.95 brunch special, here we pick a choice of entree plus a choice of mimosa and sangria and a choice of tea or coffee. The food was good and decent price.

Great burgers

Burger, Shakes and Fries

The name says it all. The place is a good hangout spot, maybe a college place. I love how the waiter asked me how I like my burger, which is medium rare. They served my burger with two pieces of bread. It's definitely one of the best burger spots I had. My single burger($4.25) with gorganzola cheese (1.75), pickles, tomatoes($.97), and cooked onion was $6.97. It was well worth it.
