Ron and Andrea return to talk about the small plates and snacks they enjoyed at Wm. Mulherin's Sons. They also visit La Cucina Ristorante for Valentine's Day. They discuss the possibility of their new cat getting an abortion, the recent loss of their well-loved and greatly missed sound engineer, and someone is getting maternity pants... lots has happened since the last podcast!
Episode 21 - Will BYOB
Ron and Andrea complain about the very un-fun diet they are on. Things get moderately uncomfortable when Andrea vents about all the cooking and cleaning and laundry she handles while insisting Ron doesn't pull his weight. Ron reconsiders their future together. Andrea also gets fired up about all of the recent harassment allegations coming out in the media. Oh and they mention food at a restaurant.
Summer Lovin' Episode 20 - Diving Horse, Townsend
We're back! After a very long break, Ron and Andrea return with their final episode in the Summer Lovin' series and both agree on their favorite summer of 2017 restaurant at The Shore. They discuss their night out to Townsend and why it's important to be selective about where you get your pork belly from. Andrea talks about making a 10 year old's dream come true (her own dream so not really that altruistic). The couple also describes how they've permanently immortalized their love.
Summer Lovin' Episode 19 - Cafe Loren, Laurel
Ron and Andrea returned to Cafe Loren in Avalon where Ron sadly discovers the lamb he's been waiting for all summer has been removed from the menu. Ron and Andrea also return to their favorite restaurant, Laurel, and talk debate their level of creepiness as patrons. They discuss some winery names that are not quite offensive enough to be ruled out as actual vineyards. Finally Ron shares his brilliant (not really) idea for a men's underwear company.
Eating out Philly Heads West! Episode 18 - Virtu Honest Craft, elements
After a two week hiatus (did you miss us?? Don’t answer that!), Ron and Andrea share their experiences from Scottsdale. They enjoyed excellent food on par with some of Philly’s best restaurants and found the world’s greatest server (spoiler alert: it’s Sean at elements). Things got pretty hot and heavy in the Arizona desert with some rather unique experimentation prompted by the more perverted half of the couple. It’s why this episode is rated “NFA” – No Family Allowed!
Summer Lovin' Episode 17 - Cooper House, Black Duck on Sunset, Baia
This week is a three-fer during the Summer Lovin’ series as Ron and Andrea explore a few restaurants sprinkled throughout South Jersey. They started at Cooper House in Pennsauken where they had a fantastic buffalo cauliflower appetizer but can’t seem to agree as to whether the desserts were any good. They then headed down to Cape May for an impressive dinner at Black Duck despite the douchebags at the table next to theirs. Finally, they wrap up the weekend at Ron’s favorite summertime spot, Baia in Somers Point where they were both pleasantly surprised by the food. Andrea also regrets her decision to drink from a bag of wine all day while on a boat and pays the price with a hangover while podcasting.
Summer Lovin' Episode 16 - Chill, Carmen's, A Modo Mio
This episode is chock full of places to hit up in Sea Isle and Stone Harbor. Ron ditched Andrea this past week to hang out in Sea Isle for his stay-cation. On a few select nights, he allowed her to visit for dinner at Chill and A Modo Mio. Ron also talks about Carmen's and Harbor Burger Bar. They also stumble upon a local food hall in Linwood that just opened called The Exchange. They argue over who is more qualified to hand out pointers to golfers regarding their swing and Ron's true feelings about Andrea's weight come out!
Episode 15 - Marigold Kitchen
Ron and Andrea head to University City to try out Marigold Kitchen's ten-course tasting menu. They enjoyed the unique twists on some summertime classics including barbecue chicken and a s'more milkshake. Ron reviews the questionable accommodations he had in the Lehigh Valley area. Was it a hotel? Was it a halfway house? Who knows?? Andrea also shares a tip for lady golfers in the South Jersey area looking for a good deal! Fun fan fact: Ron and Andrea had an argument right before they recorded this podcast - notice how dull the first five minutes are and how lacking it is in chemistry. Fortunately, they were able to put their differences aside for the sake of their 11 listeners!
Summer Lovin' Episode 14 - Union Park, Jay's on Third, Esposito's Maplewood
Three restaurants and not a one in Philly! Ron and Andrea hang out in Stone Harbor, Cape May and Vineland for the weekend. Andrea’s brain shuts off prior to dinner in Cape May and earns Ron a parking ticket. In retribution, Ron berates Andrea for her post dinner consumption habits at a local art gallery in Stone Harbor. Ron gets confused by what the website Eater is used for so Andrea tries to clear it up and in the process comes up with a much dirtier version of it. Bonus feature: Hear Andrea’s truly awful attempt at a Boston accent (the city has likely banned her from returning because of it) as she talks about the wicked awesome community garden at Fenway.
Summer Lovin' Episode 13 - O'Donnell's Pour House, Manco and Manco
Our Summer Lovin' series continues as we spend all weekend at the Shore. Andrea is pleasantly surprised by the awesome tasting and looking food at O'Donnell's Pour House in Sea Isle City. Then the duo heads to Ocean City the following night for Ron's favorite pizza and he talks about the life changing dessert he found. (You'll be disappointed once you find out what it is.) They also discuss the worst part about Andrea's three day fast (and no, it wasn't the not eating part) and kick around some Beatles and Pulp Fiction trivia.
Summer Lovin' Episode 12 - helm, Bella Luna
Andrea and Ron talk about helm's quirky and casual atmosphere as well as the creative and rustic dishes. Andrea sees the coolest looking mushroom she's ever seen. They also head to Bella Luna in Sea Isle City where Ron undergoes tense negotiations with Andrea regarding dessert. They also struggle with the meaning of the word confit and are stumped trying to figure out what a sheriff does.
Summer Lovin' Episode 11 - Mildred's Restaurant, Varsity Inn, Hobby Horse
Our Summer Lovin' series gets kicked off this weekend at Mildred's in Stathmere. Ron and Andrea find out what the perfect side is to go with manicotti. They also head to two Ocean City favorites. The Red Raider combo at Varsity Inn was perfect for the weekend's chilly weather. And thankfully, the Hobby Horse Ice Cream Parlor is serving up dessert until midnight on the weekend. Sadly, Ron and Andrea discover their biggest fan is not much of a fan at all.
