Excellent food, great service from The Oven team. Thanks, folks!

Great steak, nice summer evening. I am grateful.

The line was long at Block 16 on a Saturday lunch and I know why---they make outstanding burgers. Every aspect of my Tribute Burger was outstanding: Nebraska beef, cheese, toppings, bun. The staff was great and handled the crowd gracefully. Thanks, folks!

A summer evening is a perfect time for some ice cream. Van Dee's staff is great and the setting wonderful. Thanks, folks!

Great eggplant rollatini, a wonderful proprietor. Who could ask for more? Thanks, folks!

I bought some wonderful peaches at Super Saver to make this pie. Freshly ground nutmeg topped off the delicious taste and texture of the peaches. The crust came out just right. I am grateful for the opportunity to make and serve such wonderful food.

I've never before visited Don and Millie's and wasn't quite sure what format they provided. They are, in fact, a classic hamburger/hot dog restaurant with great food. My foot long chili dog was tasty and my onion rings outstanding. Thanks, folks!

Need I say more? I am grateful.

Great food, great conversation, great service. Thanks, folks!

I really enjoy the Korean lunch at Panda Garden. The food is tasty and a nice change of pace, the proprietors are very friendly and welcoming. Thanks, folks!

Salt-and-pepper tofu at Harmony is a favorite lunch. The staff was very welcoming as always and my lunch was comforting. Thanks, folks!

A stay at the Frankfurt Sheraton makes for an easy check-in for a morning flight. I very much enjoyed my sausage dinner at Die Taverne. The staff was great and the food hearty. Thanks, folks!

I have eaten at Hoepfner's indoor restaurant several times but this was my first visit to the Biergarten. It was a great place to talk and enjoy the day. My beef paprikash was very satisfying and my apple strudel irresistable. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Thanks, folks!

I love German baking and I couldn't resist a morning treat. A short walk brought me to Hatz the Baker and this treat. The staff was bright and cheery early in the morning. Thanks, folks!

After a long day of travel, a Turkish grill sounded just right. My dinner was very satisfying and the staff very welcoming. Thanks, folks!

The German autobahns have a lot of rest stops. These come in two varieties: simple parking lots and full-service centers. As you can see, the full-service stops have a lot of food options, some of them very familiar to American visitors. Thanks, folks!

Dumplings at Gu's Kitchen is a favorite lunch. The dumplings are tender and their sauce is outstanding. The staff was friendly, as always. Thanks, folks!

Reville Cafe was crowded and lively on a weekend morning. The staff was great and my breakfast very satisfying. Thanks, folks!

My first visit to Aldo's was very satisfying: good food, very welcoming service. Thanks, folks!

Hyderabad House has given me the chance to try new Ndian dishes. My dinner was delicious and the staff great. Thanjs folks!

I made a batch of chicken stock, then used the stock to make a batch of chicken pie filling. I put a biscuit on top rather than a pie crust. The result was delicious and very satisfying. I am very grateful for the chance to make and eat such wonderful food.

This is my first batch of tofu and I am very happy with the results. Fermented bean paste is the key to its great taste. I added some ground Sichuan peppercorns to spice it up. I am grateful for the chance to cook and eat such wonderful food.

I haven't made chocolate babka in awhile. What a treat! The texture is very different from a brioche-style sticky bun. I am grateful for the opportunity to make and enjoy such wonderful food.

Homemade pasta, homemade meatballs. Couldn't be better. I am grateful.

I've never before used a warming proofing bin to make my bread. I was skeptical but the results seemed to be good. The results were more rising and even rising than whatI get from room temperature rises. The resulting bread was delicious, for which I am grateful.
