I was flying home from FCO, stopped at ORD and taxied out to a suburban airport to hook up with a friend, and bum a ride on his plane back to Santa Barbara. He was held up with a ground stop at TEB, so I was gonna have a couple of hours to kill. Luckily,… Continue reading Schaumburg, IL – Pilot Petes Restaurant Review 10/2015 Update

Volpi Prosciutto Review
I’ve looked at a lot of deli meats lately and written them up – the quality and prices cover the full spectrum. Not surprisingly, I tend to prefer the more expensive meats, the low cost ones have a texture I find unpalatable. But that’s just me. The smaller manufacturers seemed to have not lost their… Continue reading Volpi Prosciutto Review

I’ve looked at a lot of them, and when I say deli “roast beef,” I include any kind of… Continue reading Deli Counter Roast Beef Smackdown
Charleys Pride Roast Beef Review
My final installment in checking out the beef products in the deli counter at Wal Mart. Most stores that I have been into seem to carry four brands of beef products; their house brand, “Prima Della,” (review) Sara Lee, Hormel, (review) and “Charley’s Pride.” The latter three are not very well represented, the house brand… Continue reading Charleys Pride Roast Beef Review
Hormel Deli Roast Beef Review
I’ve been trying out a lot of deli meats, lately, mostly pastrami and corned beef. I’m a fairly big snob / choosy about what I buy, eschewing the more inexpensive brands, which tend to be what I refer to commonly as “chopped, pressed, and form,” meat and other additives reconstituted to resemble roasts. I much… Continue reading Hormel Deli Roast Beef Review
