Royal Warsaw, Elmwood Park, NJ



Many people find it easy to overlook Polish cuisine. While not as flashy as French, or as well known as Italian, it stands up against them very well. In general, you'll find Polish food remarkably simple, but very comforting. This is no-nonsense, straightforward, good food. I've had the pleasure of having authentic Polish food on several occasions, and I've never left the table hungry or unhappy. It's certainly worth a try.

Home-made Smoked Pork Ribs


A few weeks ago, I completed my preparations for summer by purchasing a new charcoal grill/smoker combo.

I've never used a smoker before, and a rack of ribs seemed the bet place to start experimenting.
