So when we went back to Good Dog, I promised myself that I wouldn’t risk it and just order the darn burger. So that’s what I did. I don’t like stinky cheese, and that’s why I don’t get the good dog burger. But I like mine without the stinky cheese and with carmelized onions. Gah, how do they make these so good? And you already know how I feel about these fries. This could be a daily meal to me. I would probably be dead in 6 months, but I could eat this every day.
J got the meatloaf. And he did say that this was some of the best meatloaf he’d ever had. As good as mom makes, or maybe even better. With some delicious looking mashed potatoes I might add. Service at the good dog is typically perfunctory. They’re friendly enough, but not too friendly. Attentive, but not overly so. It’s a homey neighborhood joint. I heart this place.

Have you ever had a dragon fruit? While produce shopping the other day at an asian market, I came along these beauties. It’s such a stunning fruit, such a rich deep pink.
And when you cut them open, it’s even more stunning, with its white flesh and black little seeds. What does it taste like? It’s like a kiwi, but with a little less flavor. They are surprisingly light and refreshing. It’s definitely worth trying, at least once.
The other night, I went to see one of my favorite newer bands – Fleet Foxes. I love, love, love them! I saw them a few months ago, but they came through Philly again, playing the Starlight this time. Last time at the FU I almost died from heat exhaustion. This time, it was just plain heavenly.
For some pre-music food, we went to Banana Leaf. Even though B had just eaten there the night before, he picked it again! Yes, it’s that good. I got the seafood lo mein soup and B got the thai basil noodle. As usual, the food came out super fast and it was super cheap and super good. I could go here every night. For real. 








" list. So of course, I decided to try them all. Join me for this 15-post series, as I test out each of these cocktails to see just how worthy they are.
