Shank’s Original is opening a second location. This one will be on the Delaware River waterfront at Christian Street. It should be open later this month.

Looks to us that it’s the location where Tugboat Annie’s/Chink’s Steaks stands.

Foodzings checks out the soul food and music of Warmdaddy’s on a Sunday night.

Service is so so. So is the food. But the music? Yeah, the music is hot. It’s just a fun place. So head down there!

Keep your eyes peeled today and through next Sunday as DOVE Women will be around Philadelphia handing out samples of DOVE Chocolate.

Whether you like your chocolate smooth and milky or rich and dark, DOVE will have some samples and coupons for you. And if you happen to come across the DOVE caramels with chocolate and hazelnut don’t share them with anyone (well except us). They’re way too good!

Foodzings is naturally hesitant when it comes to big chains. But she has to admit she likes Famous Dave’s.

I got brisket and chopped pork. You also get two sides, in addition to corn on the cob and a corn muffin. So you know what? I liked it all. I liked the brisket. It comes with the rich & sassy sauce, but you can also get it dry. It actually had the red ring around it, which shows that it was slow smoked and cooked for a long time. The chopped pork was also damn good. It was really surprising. I had the garlic mashed potatoes as one of the sides, and these rocked. I could have eaten a giant bowl of these.
