Culinary Adventure Day! 10/07/2010
Sugar Fix Addicts, Hello! Culinary Adventure Day was a complete success. For those of you who follow the Sugar Fix twitter (https://twitter.com/SugarFixJewelry), you’ve already seen the photos from last weekend. I wore some new Sugar Fix pieces, including a new Scones and Tarts necklace to each location. My first stop was the Sugar Philly Truck (dessert first, of course!) on 38th and Sansom and although I didn’t get the chance to sample the Mexican Chocolate Cake (sold out!), I did try an amazing Almond Pear Tart that was to die for. My companion sampled the Vanilla Crème Brulee which was equally incredible. For those of you looking for dessert on the go in University City, stop by for some delicious treats. Follow the link to view their menu and more about them http://sugarphillytruck.com/ and check out the Sugar Fix twitter for photos. The second stop, conveniently located right around the corner, was Bobby Flay’s Bobby’s Burger Palace. I got the Dallas burger with a spice crusted beef, coleslaw, Monterey jack, BBQ sauce and pickles, minus the coleslaw; while my boyfriend sampled a Crunchburger with double American cheese and potato chips. Unfortunately, he realized after the fact that you can crunchify any burger, so we will definitely be back for more and to sample a spiked milkshake. The Vanilla Caramel Bourbon shake sounds way too good to pass up. Check out the other signature burgers at the BBP website: http://bobbysburgerpalace.com/. Lastly, I took a drive to my favorite candy shop, far from Philadelphia, in Lambertville, New Jersey. The Chocolate Box always has a variety of truffles, solid pieces and savory small bites from around the world in one small, but beautiful location. There is always something new and unusual to try from lavender and honey filled truffles, to Cheyenne pepper and sea salt chocolate nuggets, to chocolate bacon bars. The website, http://chocolateboxusa.com/, doesn’t offer much information, but does have a small photo of the shop. I have been traveling there for years and highly recommend it. I hope all of you have a chance to visit some of these awesome places. If you go, let me know! Take photos wearing my jewelry while ordering a burger or some lovely desserts. Sweetest wishes, Kate Add Comment Sugar Fix Addicts, I hope you all had a wonderful Labor Day weekend! Did anyone make it out to Chadsford for the Jazz and Wine Festival? I was hoping to, but I ended up at the beach instead as I realized the season will be changing soon and I wanted to see the ocean one last time while it was still warm enough to walk around. I did stop by the Crust & Crumb Bakery (http://bayvillagelbi.com/crust-and-crumb/) on Long Beach Island for a fabulous slim slice of chocolate cake while my boyfriend sampled the Key Lime pie. To see photos, visit the Sugar Fix twitter. In Sugar Fix news, I’m finally caught up with a lot of projects and very happy about it. I’ve also been doing some basic jewelry repairs, here and there, when they come to me. The Sugar Fix twitter (https://twitter.com/SugarFixJewelry) has been very active this month and I’m so glad to hear from some of you. Feel free to follow me via twitter to learn about upcoming Sugar Fix news and a little bit more about me and my adventures.
