Our Favorite Thing – Cupcakes Gourmet in Frazer
We’re not sure what to make of the fact that gourmet cupcake bakers are popping up everywhere, but we’re sure happy they came to our neck of the woods. Frazer’s Cupcakes Gourmet offers a wide variety of traditional and trendy flavors, all of which are excellent. Our favorites so far are the chocolate with vanilla […]
Primo Hoagies opens in Paoli
Primo Hoagies, perhaps the greatest hoagies on the planet, has recently opened in the Paoli Village Shops (where TJs and the Post Office are.) It is located in the Pizza Hut building in the back… not the easiest to see. Unlike other Primo’s, there appears to be some seating inside (not confirmed) plus a few […]
Maia, Villanova
789 E. Lancaster Ave. Villanova , PA 610-527-4888 Maia has closed. Overview: It would take many visits to experience all that Villanova’s Maia, a unique, multi-faceted restaurant that combines cafeteria-style takeout with an American bistro with a Scandinavian-influenced fine dining destination, has to offer.

Our Favorite Thing – Handel's Chocoholic Chunk
Though we were disappointed that Bruster’s Frazer branch closed, our current favorite thing is Handel’s Chocoholic Chunk ice cream — DARK chocolate ice cream with chunks of dark chocolate. This insanely decadent creation just might be the greatest ice cream flavor ever created.
Hungry for Some 'Cue?
It’s barbecue season (at least it was at our house recently, with hickory-smoked ribs), but there’s problem: Where does one go for good barbecue between West Chester (Mabel’s) and Philly (lots of great options)? Well, come September (updated from July), I’ll say Jimmy’s BBQ, coming soon to the Westgate Plaza in Frazer (the one with […]
Breathe "Easy" in Paoli
You asked for it — you got it! The Big Easy Saloon in Paoli is now smoke-free, thanks in part (we think, at least) to the readers of this website. Nice work, everybody. ;o)
