  • Piccone’s Corner

    Have you heard of Piccone’s Corner, the new butcher shop and restaurant on NE Sandy & 34th? It had been on my list for awhile and I finally checked it out this weekend for a late lunch. I like this new trend of butcher shops/restaurants serving sandwiches (and other food). Both Pasture and Piccone’s Corner…

  • Matt’s BBQ Tacos

    In today’s installment of “What Did Spencer Eat For Lunch?” I visited Matt’s BBQ Tacos at the Hinterland food cart on SE 50th Ave. They also opened up a spot recently in the Great Notion brewery on Alberta.

  • Kann

It packed a legit heat, I was sweating and clearing my sinuses afterwards. Ramen-type noodles with a warm, spicy sauce and veggies like bok choy and scallions amongst others. Very tasty,…

  • What Did Spencer Eat For Lunch Today?

    In today’s installment of “What Did Spencer Eat For Lunch Today” I checked out a new restaurant called Ki’ikibaa that serves up Yucatecan food such as Panuchos, Cochinita Pibil, and Relleno Negros. Last year at this time I was down in the Yucatan and really enjoyed the food, culture and weather. This year, no fancy…
