Just Grubbin Series: The Telford Inn
**Chino is part of the Just Grubbin blogging team, he decided to give us his review of The Telford Inn in Mantua,NJ.** "Where everybody knows your name"...too cliche? Well, Telford Inn is like a home away from home. Great food, amazing drinks, and top notch service. At this point, I am pretty much a regular here. Bartenders and waitresses remember who I am and what I drink before I sit at the bar. Sooooo let me get to the point...best prime rib I've EVER had!!!

Best Potato Side Dishes
Ah, the humble potato. In France, they call the potato a pomme de terre, or "an apple of the earth." They are ubiquitous, cheap, and can be used in an amazing variety of different ways. You can eat them at any time of day, as long as you prepare them in an appropriate manner.

5 Amazing Places to Eat in Worcester (UK)
Worcester is an amazing city, it is by far my favourite of all the UK cities. I came here for University and loved it so much, I decided to stay. There are so many different places to eat and drink in Worcester that after living here for 4 years, I still haven't managed to try them all. Add to that the fact new places are always being built, old ones change hands and you have a never-ending source of foodie adventure. The following are a few of my all time favourites, but to be honest the list doesn't end here. Eat and enjoy!

Yaki
When I close my eyes I can smell the sea, but I don't know what sea it might be, as I have seen and touched many parts of the ocean so far. I think anybody can do that. They can close their eyes and see flashes of the life that they've lived up to their own point of currently living. For me, a multitude of different things come. There's the feeling of cold glass against my forehead as I take an evening train into Tokyo or there is the smell of Naraha immediately after it has rained for days on end and a crisp bright light blue floods the sky with a new sun and starts to dry everything. It feels so good to walk on the street then and breathe in perfect fresh air coming from millions of trees. There also is the smell of sweet teriyaki sauce poured over fried ramen noodles during a hot humid day. When I arrived in Japan in the summer of 2009, this was a common occurrence and there were numerous summer parties that I was able to attend. They all took place in the late afternoon around a hot grill sizzling with yaki soba noodles. "Yaki" is "fried" in Japanese and everything becomes so in late July in Japan. The humidity pours over the land and fries everything, but also keeps it wet. It would be wrong to say that the air steams everything as this would be different and Yaki soba would instead be called "Jouki Soba" or steamed soba, which is not really a thing to my knowledge. That is not to say that soba is only served hot as my preference in the summer is when soba is prepared cold, but in this case, the noodle is boiled, but not steamed. I was able to see how this dish was made traditionally later in my travels, but that part of the story will be explained later.

Just Grubbin Series: Sea Isle City Food Truck Festival
You can't throw a food truck festival and NOT expect the JG team to show up and show out. With that being said this past weekend was the annual Sea Isle City Food Truck Festival so a couple members of the team decided to make their way down to the Jersey shore and peep the scene... and of course, indulge in all the delicious grub. Since it was more than one member that attended we decided to do a joint review of the Festival and give you guys some of our highlights.
