Bridgeport Edition: Tokyo Teriyaki Chicken

8:42 PM
Tokyo Teriyaki Chicken is a Japanese themed fast casual restaurant in the food court at Meadowbrook Mall in Bridgeport. I didn't come here with the highest expectations, but I love Asian food of all sorts, so I can usually find some redeeming qualities. But, my teriyaki shrimp was a plate of cold and...

Morgantown Edition: Novichenks

10:36 PM
Let's keep this short and sweet. I have tried to visit Novichenks on and off for several years and have not been able to order food for one reason or another. I have seen evidence of a menu once existing. It consisted of fried appetizers, wings, sandwiches, and that's about it. Very short....

Morgantown Edition: Gulf Grocery Mediterranean Food and Juicebox

11:24 AM
I don't really know what's going on with this space located on University Avenue. In the plaza, on the left side, have been a series of terrible Middle Eastern restaurants. Is it the same family reinventing this place? Is it a few different family members trying their hand at something new? Is it...

Morgantown Edition: Big Whiskey Saloon and Dancehall

9:00 AM
Chestnut Street in downtown Morgantown has been booming in the past year or so. The first domino down was that Dragonfly closed. Then it was a chain reaction with Rocktop opening on the roof of that building, a hotel was erected next door, and Big Whiskey opened up in the former Dragonfly location....

Bluefield Edition: Cafe de Sunny

6:11 PM
I noticed a new small restaurant in Mercer Mall recently, and the first thing that struck me is that this area LOVES naming their restaurants after the sun (Cafe Soleil, Sunny Days and now Cafe de Sunny). The interior actually looks nicer than many of the other restaurants at the mall, and this...

Bluefield Edition: Sunny Days

8:00 AM
Sunny Days is in the Mercer Mall and serves up typical food court fare: nachos, burgers, ice cream and a sign that says best hotdog in town. Challenge accepted. I walked up to the counter to place my order. It's really a pretty small area - only a few tables. And it's kind...

La Baba

8:00 AM
I noticed a new sign reading "La Baba" in the plaza behind Hibachi on University Avenue, where Albasha was located. After much digging, the only information I could come up with about La Baba is its Facebook, which stated it was open for dinner and looked to be of Middle Eastern cuisine. I...

Billiards & Cue

8:00 AM
Located underneath Dollar General on High Street, Billiards and Cue is pretty easy to miss. Unless you're looking for it. As you descend the stairs, you feel like you're entering another world: that of Morgantown's bar scene. Seriously, why are all the bars underground here? Anyway, I was shocked at how big it...

Princeton Edition: Pizza House

8:39 AM
I've been excited about this place opening for a long time. It's not just a new restaurant for me to try in Princeton, it's a new restaurant completely! It's right in the same building with Dragon Palace, Curves and Sally's along Stafford Drive. It's opened by the same owners of the Chinese restaurant,...
