Pies at Pie and Off to South Korea

Hello fellow foodies!

Markus and I are setting off onto another epic adventure.  This time we are headed to South Korea! We will be documenting every bite so make sure you stop by to see what we discover.

Wish us luck!

Here are a few photos of our trip to pie!  Pie is a pie shop in Seattle (Fremont) that serves up sweet and savory pies.  We had already had a hefty lunch at a nearby deli so we wanted some sweets to end the meal.

We decided to sample the salted apple pie and the pecan pie.  

The pies were about the size of a large slice of pie.  Definitely big enough to share.  It has a lot of crust compared to filling.  I'm more of a filling person myself, but I know some people prefer crust so this is for you.  The crust was flaky and buttery and crumbled as you cut into the pie.  This was a great dessert after a simple lunch.  

The pies were tasty and next time I'm in Seattle, I will try to find this place again and have a savory pie and really get a good taste of what they have to offer.

Hi fellow foodies!  Markus here with the newest restaurant in Latta Arcade.  Located right across the street from Romare Bearden Park, Pho Plus is a great place to re-fuel while spending a day in Uptown or if you are leaving an event in the park or a Knights game.

Hello fellow stuffies!    It's Petchi and Markus and we're headed to a new neighborhood hangout in Third Ward.  Right outside the Panthers practice field, and in the backyard of the stadium, this newly renovated restaurant has re-opened right in time for football season.

Hiya stuffies!  It's me Markus!

Have you ever wanted to try a new type of food, but didn't know where to start?  I can tell you I've been there.  I've looked at a menu and thought..."well that's really all Greek to me."  What am I saying... I can read Greek...Greek menu that is :)  But it does it take a little while to get fluent in a new menu language.   I find the easiest way to explore a menu is to try a buffet.  That way you can take a look at what you are eating before you have to commit to eating it!

In this adventure, I take you on a journey to a Pakistani-Indian-Middle Eastern lunch buffet in Albany, NY.

 Not the greatest camera angle, but what can I say; I didn't want to to get run over on the busy road :)

Well hello Stuffed Foodies!  This post is a special one since we are all in one place at the same time.  Yay for reunions!  To celebrate, we headed to some fast and cheap eats for takeout for a night of relaxing, catching up, and a blog post.

Crossing boarders at Texicali

Happy Taco Tuesday!  Today we ventured to Texicali Taco and Tequila bar.   At the heart of the NC Music Factory, Texicali serves up TexMex in a very trendy area of Charlotte.  Every Tuesday, they have $2 Tacos (half the normal price!), so if you are in for a good deal and want to try out one of the newer restaurants at the Music Factory, join Markus and me for Taco Tuesday at Texicali!

We Interrupt This Regularly Scheduled Program For Tacos!

Attention Fellow Stuffies!

Just wanted to let you know that tomorrow, Markus and I will be venturing into the Music Factory for another epic Taco Tuesday!  Unfortunately, since it is Monday, it would be unfair of us to post today so we are going to make you wait until tomorrow and do Taco Tuesday right.  

Until tomorrow...

P.S.  

Here are a few pictures to tie you over until Taco Tuesday!

I Love Owen's Bagels!

Charlotte, NC
South End

Hiya folks.  It's Markus!  I'm here to tell you about one of the best lunch spots in Charlotte.  When I'm looking for a midday meal that is a little different than a normal everyday hamburger or sub sandwich, I always like to turn to Owen's Bagels.  Bagel sandwiches are not your ordinary sandwiches.  It combines a breakfast staple with all the fancy fixings that lunch has to offer.  Are you ready to have lunch on a bagel?

Want to try the best sushi in the world?  It may be hard if you can't get reservations at Jiro's Michelin three star restaurant in Tokyo, but you can settle for his apprentice Shiro!  Shiro's is the closest that Markus and I will ever get to Jiro's dream of sushi, but we will survive.  

That's my Fem Små Hus

Gamla Stan (Old Town)

Stockholm, Sweden

Hello Stuffies!  It's me Markus!  I'm back with another Swedish adventure.  Check this place out!  It may not look like much at the moment from the outside, but this restaurant is amazing!  Fem Sma Hus translates to five small houses.  This building in the historic Old Town has had a restaurant in it since the 17th century.   Eventually, the restaurant spread into what used to be five homes and became the restaurant we know today.

Finger food at Queen Sheba

Charlotte, NC

Have you ever wanted to eat your dinner with your hands?  Well in some cultures, this is the norm.  This week, Petchi and I ventured to an Ethiopian restaurant called Queen Sheba.  Petchi has been to Ethiopian places before, but this was a first for me.  :)

Sitting outside at Midwood Smokehouse BBQ

Charlotte, NC

Plaza Midwood

Well since Trumpy wrote about BBQ last week, it made me feel like I should go out and get me some.  Why not, right?  The weather was beautiful and it was a great day to sit outside.  What goes with outside better than BBQ?  For today... nothing... so what do we do.... we head over to Midwood Smokehouse.
